Progress anyone?

Well, since we have been waiting on our flooring to arrive... Which I just got a call on.. It should be here tomorrow.. FINALLY!!! I have been painting up a storm.. I am trying for a light and airy feel. The color I chose is called Seaside sand. It is a real creamy yellow. I know it looks white but it is not. Here are some before and afters for your viewing pleasure...
The hallway before... And after... So much lighter.. Love it!! I have some fun ideas for decorations in there.. :O)

The kitchen before...

And after... We are planning on putting up some board and batten but that will have to wait for a little while..

I still have to paint behind the fridge and stove.. That will hopefully be getting done this weekend..

The living room before...

And after...

Note to self... If your husband and son decide to help with the painting make sure they know to peel off the vinyl on the walls first.. It comes off so much easier than if it has been painted over.

Thanks for sticking around with me during all this remodeling... As always have a great Wednesday!! Linking this post to any and all parties for Wednesday.. Just check out my side bar under LINK PARTIES WEDNESDAY! Bye! :O)

While I go walking...

I have to stop at all the yard sales... I found some great stuff this weekend.. I can hardly wait to utilize them in my decor... I got the spindles for a $1 each and the skinny ones for $.50 each. The basket was $2 and the white basket was FREE.. Gotta love that!

The mason jars (with the old lids/seals) were $1 each. Been looking for some since I saw Lindsey over at The Pleated Poppy use them in her master bath as soap dispensers.. So clever! Sorry, I do not remember what I paid for the rest.

Now, this coffee table was my shining moment for the weekend. See I go walking every night with some friends and this past Thursday night we happened to walk by a house that was getting everything ready for a yard sale the next day. Now it was like 9:30 at night and getting dark so I had to take a quick look around and saw this beauty and asked how much... $8 was all she was asking.. "I'll take it.. Can you hold it for me until 9 am Friday?" "Sure thing." So the next morning I went and picked it up.. I have some major plans for it.. YES, painting it is on the agenda. Can you guess what color?

Have a great week. I will be linking this post to Rhoda's Thrifty Treasures party over at Southern Hospitality so go on over and have a look around. Later lovelies!! :O)

P.S. I will also be linking to Coastal Charm for her Nifty Thrifty Tuesday.

Don't step on the floors!

Okay, so it has been a while since my last post... Geesh, where has the time gone? It is the middle of July... What's with that? I remember the summers being so long. Now they seem to just fly right by. Oh to be young again..

On another note... Our wood floors were SUPPOSED to arrive last Friday but they had not even left the east coast.. They finally were to leave this last Tuesday or Wednesday.. I was promised that we will have them by July 23rd. That is 2 WEEKS late.. Ugh!!! We had everything ready and set to get the floors laid this weekend.. Now, we will not be able to get them done until the middle of August as we have a baby blessing to be to in Texas. Problems problems problems... That is what my life seems to be right now...

On a happier note... I did order my fabric for my curtains.... I am so excited... I had to wait until I received some 50% off coupons from my mom. I went to Joann Fabric and found just what I wanted and went to order it and pay... Gave them my 50% coupon all happily and she handed it right back to me and said it was already on sale for 50% off..... SCORE!!!!!!! That made for a happy day yesterday.. :O) Want to see it? Okay, here you go...

So what do you think? I am in love with it... I can hardly wait for this project to get done... My head is just swooning with ideas... I also went to some garage sales this weekend... Found some great things... But I will leave those for my next post... Until then my lovelies (did I even spell that right? Oh well.... :O)!!! Have a great one!! :O)

Comforts of home!

It is always so much nicer to sleep in your own bed.... Right? My little ones think it is even better to watch TV in my bed. I can not blame them.. It is not like I have had the time to unpack their toys yet... Here is how the house has been looking lately... Boxes everywhere...

I did manage to get my new Stainless steel appliances though!! LOVE them!!! :O)

We had to reconfigure the top cabinets because the fridge is larger than the one we used before. But I don't mind.. In fact, I like it much better this way..

We did have to order a new base cabinet since the old one is a tad too big.. See we put new cabinets in 6 years ago. Natural Hickory.... I LOVE THEM!!!! The company is still in business and still makes the same cabinets so score!!

I have been painting. Good bye green.... So far the kitchen, hallway, and living room are almost done. We had to pull the carpet up in all the rooms and are expecting our REAL wood flooring to be delivered on Friday... So I better get the painting done... Have a great one!! :O)
