Finally a rainy day, but instead of painting the floor upstairs, I'm getting ready for school (students start next week!) and updating the blog. Ho hum.
Da da da da! I haven't named them yet (creepy or crazy?) but here are my new plants...
Probably due the fact that I take all of my pictures on my Blackberry, the color on the walls is hard to see. But here is the stairway (ahem!... With carpet!!) and the color on the wall here is the same as my bedroom and the bathroom (in this case, 1 gallon went a long way!) It's a very soft sea-foam green.
All of the dishes I got are a vivid cobalt blue glass -- and so naturally I've been scouring garage sales, Goodwills, and my mom's storage unit for any additions to my collection (obsession). I just don't think anyone can hate this color! (Ignore the odd angle at which I took this picture ... it's not a half dressed woman on my wall, it's a mermaid. You discern the difference.)
I finally painted the dining room table (well, a month ago, but hey) and after the first round of painting had 4 different color chairs. I decided to do 2 turquoise and 2 brown and the table is a creamy color that matches the cupboards. The style isn't exactly what I would have picked out for myself, but I think with the color it adds a little pop to an otherwise fairly monochromatic room.
And, although this is slightly off topic, aren't these tiny "Champagne" grapes adorable?! They're the size of peas!
This picture really highlights the pockmarkings in this old dresser (passed down from my Grandma Brown) but in person I really like it. It was bright pink and heavily distressed (my grandma was certainly before the trend there!) and I just spraypainted it silver.
And here is where I spent most of my summer. On the beach and in the water.
Ahhh, ok, lunch and then back to work.
