Projects

Before my Dad came up he asked if we had any projects he could help out with while he was here. 

Really? 

Ummmm, YAH!  We always have projects we can work on to keep ya busy.  So we put him to work helping us paint our two large front rooms and two night stands.  The rooms were originally gold with one rust colored accent wall.  I tolerated them as long as I could but with my Dad here to help paint and my Mom here to watch the kids - the "taco bell" room had to go.  I chose the neutral tan that the rest of the house is in and a navy accent wall (which I LOVE).  I am so thrilled with the difference.  It just feels so much calmer and looks so much better - definitely more 'me'.  Now I need some decorations (and furniture) to match. 

I'm really bad about taking before and after pics but this is what I was able to pull off my computer.  Some of the 'before' pics are from before we moved in, but they show the gold and red pretty well.

Some extra pics.  This room looks better in person but I definitely need some wall decor.  The furniture is all our old stuff that is functional but not too fashionable.
