Upcoming Goodness

So Schmoop and I went out today and used alot of our gift certificates from the wedding for house stuff and then bought paint for the upstairs hallway and stairs. We also bought a different color for the living room, dining room and family room. The hallway is kind of like a sand color while the LR, DR and FR is like a mushroom, light beige color. We also started sanding and primering the downstairs bathroom. The downstairs bathroom was its own brand of hideousness, it was painted a light pink color (even the ceiling) and there was ivy stencilled everywhere. This ivy stencil wasn't your run of the mill standard stencil, it was also textured (with sand); and it looked like it was applied by a blind epileptic. We are going to keep that in a basic white for a couple of years till we get around to tiling in the kitchen, front hallway and bathroom. Its a smallish room and right now its overrun with furniture, it drives me nuts, so I'm waiting for new floors to gut the huge sink and replace with a little pedistal before I pic colors.
Ohh the other thing was we got switchplates for the master bedroom (they were gold). Now they are white wood ones, they kind of looks like crown molding, which is in the master plans for the room. The bedroom is turning out much better than I had planned. Its painted a chocolate color, with white wood blinds and sheer linnen drapes. We have a bedspread thats like a creamy gold which matches the twin lampshades on either side of the bed. I got one of those swirly wraught iron wall hangings with the spots for the tea lights for above the bed and also got a pic that Schmoop took in Paris nicely framed for the wedding. We are still looking for a darkwood bureau but we have a nice dresser that was left to me. It really is a sanctuary though, I LOVE IT!!!
Pictures to come, I promise :)
