Entryway Redo and more thinking too......

So here's the first item of business..... the entryway! This is the before.

Not horrible but hey if I'm not in love with it... you can bet I'm changing it!



Drum roll please.....

.Ta da!

Here it is.... okay it probably didn't need that much of a buildup, but I love it!!!

We painted (and when I say we I mean I painted while my husband sat on a chair and watched ha ha ha) then we hung a pretty track light. I never thought that I would say pretty and track lighting in the same sentence but I was pleasantly surprised! After that I mapped out where I wanted these pretty girls to go and voila......




I still need to make yet another trip down to Colorado to this fabulous furniture store, that I just love, to get a great bench. Whenever I get this done I'll post the totally finished room! lol



Look at my babies! I love these pictures.... (WARNING: sappy moment to follow)....the whole wall shows everything I always envied about the love between sisters!
They are such wonderful little girls and I know every mom loves their babies but come on these girls are just sooooo cute and have personalities to boot! Both are so outgoing and loving!


Okay, I'll stop gushing but I just can't look at those pictures and not burst with pride! lol




Well, now I have to laugh because if you look through my blog I have already changed my living/dining room once.... since we have lived in this house I think I have changed the drapes and decor around 4 times..... ha ha ha and I am totally doing it again!

Here's the thing, my husband could care less what I decorate, how I decorate or when I decorate. He complains but truly has no interest in what color our walls or drapes are at all! So you can imagine my utter shock when my husband over heard me talking to my mom about how I love the color combination of powder blue, white, khaki, and black, and announced to me that he thinks I should change our living room to those colors!

I know right??!!!!?? My eyes popped out of my head! I had to clarify by asking him, "You mean you are telling me that I can totally change all the red and go get all new curtains, pillows.... the whole shebang?"

But here are the words that every wife loves to hear....

"Hunny do whatever you want!"

Well, hubbs you might just eat those words. Okay, maybe it won't be quite that dramatic but I have collected fabric samples and shown my wonderful hubby all of my ideas! (I figure I should see if he likes everything since he's supporting another decorating change!)

So, soon I will be posting all the inspiration I can find.... and hopefully in a few months I will have many more reveals! yay!
