We are, sort of, officially, moved in. We’re lacking a couch, and a TV and of course the walls are bare, but the essentials are here. As I type this, Zach is mopping the dining room floor. He told me I could blog people. His words were, “it can be your first blog from this house!”
So here it is. The first blog from the new (to me) house. Hopefully, I won’t be moving again for at least a couple years.
There’s a few things still to do:
1. Set up both bathrooms. I know what I want to do in the hall bath, but I’m not spending $100 on a shower curtain. So I’ll have to somehow compromise.
2. Paper ‘Plique the walls in the Master Bath.
3. Design and Build a massive built in.
4. Put in a custom closet system in my closet. I need a walk-in but I get what I get, so I have a plan. I’ll have to sell a horse or pay off my pickup first, whichever comes first.
5. Change out most every single light fixture.
6. Put in a new faucet in the kitchen. This one is NOT pretty. Functional, yes. Pretty No. Would it be something I’d ever choose? I. Think. Not. (Laugh Bud. Laugh Danial. Laugh Zach. Laugh! I know you are!)
I think that is it for now. I took photos of the green bedroom. I think it might be too green. I don’t know. I need to get stuff on the walls (which sadly will mean I’ll need to buy more crosses!), and then make that decision I guess. I also need a headboard for the bed, I know, but I can’t decide what I want to do. I am thinking of two options.
Option A: An old door, that has badly peeling paint, that I’ll just make shabbier.
Option B: Build one and cover it in leather and/or the Vintage Alexander Henry Fabric that my sister made my kick ass pillows out of. I’ll use nail-heads of course. Because no cowgirl can have too many nail-heads in furniture. So I don’t know. Give me your ideas! And I’m wondering- did anyone love or hate my red faux walls?
Here’s the photos.
oh I think the green is perfect. It will be better when you get stuff on the walls. New colors always take a few days to get used to:)
LMAO … red walls .. wahts that??? ohhhh, you mean the ones that look like a paint ball gun got after it?
only kidding .. you know I loooove you 🙂
Those pillows look pretty darn cool…..20 hours and 2 needles later! How are they holding up?
Okay um . . . I can make that shower curtain . . . and I am going to! Or actually I’m gonna make one kinda similary anyway . . .
I’ll take pics of mine once it’s done and send em to you!
I do not as yet have my house to decorate . . . but oh just you wait.
I like the red finish, but it was a little too much for me. I’d have probably gone with solid on most of them, and the faux on one accent . . . but that’s just me and we both know that I am much less subdued than you so . . .
I love the green, and once you break up the walls with some adornments it will be gorgemous (it’s a word)!
Congrats on getting moved in!
wait . . . I am much MORE subdued . . . in terms of decor . . . more subdued in my decor choices.
Whatever, it was nice.
Ve-
The wall with the two windows on it- the boldest wall as I call it, will have a fireplace in one corner near the window. So it will eventually be floor to ceiling with something. I think also, once I get window treatments up and decor hung on the walls, you’ll like it even more!
The green is nice and the faux walls were very well done!
You copied my house on that green!!!! Lacee is crazy. Shoot her with a paint ball gun. Joking lacee. 🙂
I vote old door head board… you’ve seen our furniture in the living room, right? Zach made the couches and coffee table from old doors we got at market days. I’ll send you a pic of our head board made from old screens if you want to see them. I think they’d look good in your room! Got them at market days too… you should come down when it’s a market day weekend!
I have not seen the furniture. I want pictures!
