Home Projects

So I got a LOT done over the past week or so (which is why I haven't written in a few days. I finished the railing project. This was going from a regular white railing in the house to a black-topped railing between the dining room and family room.

Also finally painted over the old mint green in the family room and kitchen and have it all this ivory color, which actually makes the white moldings all pop more. I am done with the "color fad" that burned through the decorating world a few years ago and want to go back to cleaner lines and brighter colors.

I love to use a lot of black accents and decor and so it also works better with the ivory color and white moldings.

I still have to paint the living room but might need to call in my friends Jhonny and Marcus from Color Time Painting to get the higher walls -- our entry way and living room ceilings go up about 20 feet high! I would need scaffolding in here and I'm not about to even attempt all that on my own.

Here's a peak at how this new wall color and railing look.
