Since I've got a couple of weeks until school starts, I've been sprucing up our home in my spare time. It's a newer home so there isn't really much "improvement" that needs to be done to it. I just wanted to add a personal touch by re-painting several spots and decorating. Our master bathroom was half a yellow/tan color with the other half maroon stripes. The second I saw this bathroom, I knew I'd be changing that... I found some of the matching yellowish paint tucked away in the garage and used a layer of primer in between. I love how the color looks with our wood blinds. It is much lighter in there now and the tackiness is gone. :)
The very first thing I painted after we moved in was our front door. The house itself is tan with red brick accents (just on the pillars) so I wanted to lighten up the door, but stick with the nice green color. I used the color "Kiwi Kissed" because it blends well but also adds just the right amount of pop. The picture doesn't quite do it justice.. It's like a soft mint color. Now I just need to hang a wreath!
Sadie's room was another space I was anxious to change up. It was obviously a little girl's room at one point (top picture below is how it was staged when we were doing our walk-through) but I wasn't digging the pink and brown combo. I painted the paneling white first to see if the pink would grow on me but it didn't.. so then I changed the pink to a lavender. I am really into the lighter walls now if you can't tell. I feel like it makes the room look clean and bright.
After I took the photo above, I rearranged her dresser and crib, hung some shelves, made a little story corner, and added a polka dot decal wall as a finishing touch! Her room is definitely my favorite.
It's been so much fun turning our new house into a home by hanging photos and adding touches of personality to it. My next projects are to repaint Sadie's bathroom (I'm thinking gray and white striped) and create a gallery wall in our loft. More pictures to come!
