ahhh Fall...


Sorry, I could not get this shot to come out any brighter
My "witches broom" hanging up above
says "Flying lessons by appointment only"

Things we changed:
Took down wallpaper, painted wood molding white, changed hardware on cabinets & painted the backsplash
Simple changes all for under $100 that made a huge difference! 



Our house is looking less like a construction zone and more like a home everyday!
I love the Fall. I haven't found all of our Fall decor yet. Probably going to keep it simple this year and put a few things around. There was a request to see my kitchen by someone who lives too far to see it in person :) Keep in mind-the kitchen is primed white and if you look closely you can see it is still taped off waiting to be painted.

what I've been up to...


Original faux brick backsplash

Wanted to brighten it up
Sponge painted each brick using 4 different colors
Did not like the dark grout! Too modern looking for this traditional style kitchen.

Ahhhh! So much better!
Had to break out the spray paint
Used Rustoleum double cover in heritage white glossy finish

I finished painting the family room! I'll post more pics as I get the room back together. Still have to hang curtain rods and take down old blinds...

I also continued to attack the walls of wallpaper in my son's bedroom. This will be the next project to complete, check in for updates on this very exciting bedroom we have planned!
