Walkin through the woods

(Studying bugs.)

When we woke up and realized it wasn't already a thousand degrees outside, we threw on scrubby clothes and bolted to the park. Pool on the agenda this afternoon it the rain holds out!

Xoxo.

Office paint

The office painting is...done!

All thanks go to the painter we hired to finish the job. Ha. He completed in one week what would have taken me a year with my ten-minutes-a-day work schedule. THRILLED with the result.

The wall color is a very light beige, one of the first paint colors I've picked from only the teeny chip sample. It's light and has no red/pink undertones, stands out from the trim yet doesn't overpower the ceiling. That was our goal with the room: lighten everything up in order to highlight the ceiling.

Can't wait to get all our office boxes out of the living room and organize like crazy. It's been two years since we have had any type of office and paperwork organization and our random piles of papers are getting a little ridiculous. But fest I need to decide on some storage furniture, and a new desk, and decor, and get all the cabinet and switch plate hardware in, and and and...

Finishing touches, that I can do. ;)

While he was here, we had the painter tackle the dining room window too.

(Ugh. Those boxes.)

The one white spot in a sea of dining room pale yellow. Painting windows is the worst, and we knew this room was next on our list. Stay tuned...
