Paint Colors

These are the two main paint colors we are thinking about for our new house...


This one is called Ivoire and it's like a light light gold. I think we would use this for most of the rooms (yes, I know we're boring).


This one is called Hearts of Palm. I want this for the kitchen for sure and then maybe the dining room.

I'm trying to decide what to do for Will's room. I kind of just want to do the Ivoire and then just decorate it with cute stuff. Blue seems sort of typical for a boys room. But let me know if you have any great ideas....I haven't even looked at new bedding for him or anything (I think we will be moving him out of the crib when we move to the new house).

Also, I am now thinking about wallpaper for the bathrooms. They already have wallpaper and I was originally thinking we would just paint them...but they would need texture too and that gets expensive. I know I've seen some fun wallpaper in magazines...does anyone know of any websites I could look at?

By the way, the paint colors are from Sherwin Williams and you make those cool rooms on their website. Chris and I have had some fun with it (mainly Chris).

Smart Boy

Last night I was in the office while Will and Chris were playing with Hot Wheels. Chris bought him a little plastic track recently that you can add on to and Will loves it. Apparently, Will kept running over to hug and kiss Chris and then he would go back to playing for a few minutes and then do it again. I kept hearing Chris say things like: "awwww Will, you are so sweet....I love you so much...you are such a good boy." After 10 or 15 minutes of this, it had been quiet for a few minutes and then I hear Chris say, "You wanna go to Toys R Us tonight and buy another track?" I guess it doesn't take very long to learn how to get what you want!

Guess Who

If you watch the Bachelor, you should be able to figure out who this is!

Open House

After having two offers fall through, we are still trying to sell our house and we thought we would do an open house this weekend before we list it through our realtor next week. So if you know someone that is looking for a house, tell them to go to the website - www.mynewhouse2009.com for all the info and then come by for the open house this weekend!

4th Picture

Kristen tagged me. Here's how it works:

1. Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on the computer.
2. Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3. Explain the picture.
4. Tag 4 people to do the same
5. No cheating. (cropping, editing, etc)

I don't really have a 4th folder...well I do, but it just led to more folders and eventually to a folder that only had one picture of someone random. Our organization on the computer is a little crazy. So I decided to do the 4th set in flickr instead...



I don't think there is anything to explain so I will just say what a cutie my little baby boy was and he is so much bigger than that now. :(

I tag Amanda, Angela, Kenley, & Stacee.

I need a girl....

But since I don't have one, all of you that have girls must go buy this stuff and then give it to me when your girls have outgrown it. Hopefully I will have a girl by that time. :)

Update

Both of my boys are feeling much better!! We got the house that we've been trying to buy!!! Well, it's not totally official yet but as long as we don't back out, I think it's a done deal. It is very exciting, but we still need to sell our house....so we will be really excited once we've done that. If you know anyone that might like to buy my cute house, please tell them to call me!

And now I need some decorating ideas/help for my new house! As you will see, it needs some help. I have never been much of a decorator...mainly because I have a hard time making decisions. So this is where all of you get to help me. I'm sure I will post a lot more about this as we start making decisions...but any initial ideas you have would be great. I am open to all suggestions.

Here are the pictures - some I took and some are from the website when it was listed:


The Front - How do you feel about the semi-circle window blinds? I sort of want to take these down, but I'm afraid that might look weird.


The Kitchen - I know I want to paint the cabinets white eventually and redo the backsplash and countertops. We've also talked about doing some serious remodeling to open it up to the living room....so we may have to wait awhile on this. I am also thinking I want to paint the walls a light lime green.




The Living Room - The dark wood floors and dark paint make this room seem so DARK to me. I want to paint it something much lighter...ideas?


Dining Room


Second Living Room - We will definitely be painting and changing the carpet eventually.


Master Bedroom


Master Bathroom - Wallpaper has to go.


The Office


Will's Room - Red Raider fan? We will paint this.


Extra Bedroom - We probably won't do much with this since it will eventually be the next baby's room.


Laundry Room - Does anyone know if the brown paper bags will come off?


Back - I love the outdoor living area! Can I call it that?
