A crazy day in the life of... ME! :)


I'm sure you're all wondering where I've been! Well, this isn't as easy as I thought it would be! Unfortunately, I have waaaaaaaaaay too much going on to seem even remotely organized at this point! So, below is my disclosure going forward...
  • My blog may be, and probably will be, sporadic from this point on! I cannot, under any circumstances, guarantee that my blog posts will follow any certain flow. And, my topics may be, and probably will be, completely random all of the time! :)
With that say... I'm excited to announce that I FINALLY finished remodeling my living room! Yay! Only took me 5 months! Ok... that's not really a good thing, but hey... I finished it! Below is a before and after pic of what the trim and doors looked like before I painted it white...

My doors, trim, and walls - AFTER
    Note the trim on the floor and the color of the doors (They are now white)
As you can see, all of the trim was brown, including the doors and my huge picture window! Below is a pic of my picture window and the custom 2" faux wood blinds! :)


My new custom 2" faux wood blinds - 94 1/2 inches across!
A different view of the window and baseboard trim! :)


My walls were an off-white color - VERY BORING!! Now, the two longest walls are Neutral (a bit darker than off-white) and the shorter walls are Coffee. See below...

I used to have brown curtains with tab tops on silver rods that hung to the floor. I changed both the curtains and the rods...

The rods are a deep brown with "Rust" valances

And, finally... the finished product! :)




 So, there you have it... Today's blog! :) My next stop on my remodeling journey is the kitchen! Stay tuned for before and afters! (Side note: Hope this doesn't take me as long as the living room)... Hehe..... ;)

Have a great day! :)
