slowly but surely.

paint, paint, and more paint! and yet we're still not done! the yellow is finally done. most of the blue (except around the windows and inside one closet) is done. and the white trim was just started last night. I'm personally not a big fan of painting...but it's fun seeing how nice a room looks with just a bit of paint!

the windows have to be replaced...but that won't happen too soon. also, the sconces have to be put in (and shall be, tomorrow). the window seat is done, but I'm still painting it (which is why the cushion isn't in it...). 

and you can't tell...but the insides of the little cupboards are blue! so cute!

as far as lighting...there are two track lights...one on each side of the room. with a DIMMER SWITCH! also little sconces on each side of each alcove. they are to be installed tomorrow.

so...what do you think?!?!

color scheme.

for one...I found this painting that really inspired me. I love, love, LOVE the colors in it! sooooo...we went to Lowe's (where I had an embarrassing accident involving a loose lid and a cup full of sprite, sigh) and got some corresponding colors.

the yellow is for the walls.

the blue...not only matches a cute little sewing table I already own...but shall be for writing "sewing in the past" on one of the slanted walls...and we're also considering painting the little alcoves blue. what do you think?

and the pink. perhaps some roses to go along with the "sewing in the past"...or something. we aren't sure. but we got a 1/2 pint. and I'm sure it will be used somewhere.

and then...white for trim and doors.

WHAT DO YOU THINK!?
