Yes I did not plan on taking a break but somehow it just happened. It is kind of like not going to the gym for a few days and then you realize you haven't been in a week and your jeans are tight!!!
Most responsible bloggers advise their readers that they may be taking a few days off....I was so rude and just took it with no advance warning........like an ill-mannered teenager.
So here I am with not much to share but a few updates on that renovation. These were taken on move in day. I will list all paint colors when I get home. Can you believe that I did not bring the file with me to the BEACH?????
Here is the front of the home.
The shutters and front door [along with the stair railings inside] are painted SW Iron Ore. Trim is white and the outside of the house is painted BM Creamy White. The portico was added.
Here is that wonderful carpet that I showed you.
It was a little expensive but since she really does not have a foyer....we needed a BAM when the door was opened!
I think it will be good with dirt also. I twisted her arm and threw her down on the floor until she agreed to get it. Don't mess with me if I get obsessed with something......:)
One final shot of the Kravet teal grasscloth. Cute little brass chandelier too!!!
The back of the front door did get painted the same color.
Circa Lighting Ralph Lauren fixture for over the kitchen dining table. Yes...I know it needs new bulbs.
This is the den. The TV will go over the mantel.
Mudroom....I wanted one of these for Christmas......no dice. But maybe he is doing it while I am at the beach :)
Daughters vanity
Her floors....
Sons/guest bath
The kitchen hardware. We kept everything pretty classic.
Huge pantry....good Lord...who would not was a pantry the size of Rhode Island????
Here are the bar stools we ordered for the island. They are from Pottery Barn.
So there we have it. The day they moved in it POURED all day. Yup. I was there telling the movers where to put everything. It was crazy. The next day.....gorgeous.
I sincerely hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Little late I know.....how about this then..... Happy New Year! There I am early!
