facelift

we've been in our humble abode for approximately four years and i'm just realizing how many walls were tan, brown, beige, BORING. i guess four years ago that was a safe color for me. i often found myself saying "tan goes with anything and it's neutral so you can change decorations without having to paint" hah, i laugh in the face of that. i think i've morphed into a color person suddenly and i'm running with the idea. i am on a mission people, a real mission. i'm de-browning our entire house. no more blah. no more boring. time to do the colors i love and appreciate because you only live once and you might as well make your house a haven. who cares if others don't particularly like the colors you choose. after all, it's your home. do what you love. and btw matchy-matchy is so not in. and birds are.

project #1 complete. cover those previously stark white walls with whale gray. oh yes and spruce up the shelving decor. i am in the process of creating a framed chalk board to hang on the opposite wall as well. good thing my mother in law is good with a sewing machine because she's helping me make it extra cute with some fabric. doesn't it just look like spring flew in and kissed those shelves? i love it.
