Ceiling

A while back I took a risk with some colors in the dining room, and then wasn't pleased. Well, the short term fix was to leave the ceiling yellow and re-paint the walls a light neutral that I love (navajo white). As time has passed, I've started to not love the yellow ceiling either. And because this is MY house and I can paint as many times as I please, I decided to paint the ceiling in the bay white. I like it much better. I'm just a light & bright, neturals kinda girl... I like color but not in the form of paint on my walls (or ceiling)....


This was such a small/quick project that I was easily able to do it with all 3 kids around:

And here's after cleanup:

I think the best part about this is that hubby won't know/notice until he reads it on this blog!! :) I plan to paint over the rest of the ceiling too but that will have to wait for another day(s).

October 2013 Home Tour

I'm a wee bit late posting this, but, for the sake documenting the house through the years, here are pics I snapped (so quick I'm ashamed) after the tour:

Ding Dong!

Feel free to come by and ring the new doorbell!!!

Not really. Come on people, we have a baby... ;)

Chandelier

A couple months ago we put up a REAL chandelier in the dining room (replacing the spray-painted $15 light I got from the Habitat for Humanity store). I -Holly- hung and wired the chandelier while kids were napping and Colin was at work, hours before the neighborhood home tour. Colin helped by putting on all the pieces of crystal once he was home, overall it was an easy process! Here's a pic from Thanksgiving:
