Slowly but Surely

The bedroom before

Our living room

The house appears to be coming together. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to come home and relax rather than trying to cross another item off my to-do list. I know there will always be something requiring work on the house, but right now, I'd love to feel like the place is where I want it to be for the moment.

Photos are still waiting to be placed on the wall and some of our living room furniture is in Muncie, but things are looking good. The bedroom walls are a darker cream than what we used in the living space and in my opinion, looks a bit peachy, though my gals tell me it is not peachy. It is a vast improvement to the grayish white walls that required two cleanings. I was concerned with a peach color clashing with my purple bathroom. Yep, I went with an array of purples, ranging from lavender to indigo, in my bathroom and it looks amazing.

Once we covered the red wall in the living room, it was scary to realize that the green wall was also dark. Peggy can attest that the room size appeared to greatly expand thanks to the lighter color. I prefer lighter walls and dark furnishings so I'm proud of how this turned out. We took down her red sheer curtains and installed a set of blinds and an arch covering. We are planning to purchase different curtains for the bedroom and some to cover the massive living room window for the winter. Blinds may be lovely but are not very energy-efficient.

Did anyone else notice the Where's Bartle theme in the photos?
