The yellow room is the smaller room and we are going to make that into an office. The larger room we have only painted, we painted it a tan color and right now it is storage but once the rugs get put it we are going to make it a spare room.

Best Moment This Week: Getting the paint all picked out.

Tonight we are planning on getting some of the painting done. I ended up picking Annapolis Green by Benjamin Moore. I love it. I have slowly been pulling things together. I ordered paint from Serena and Lily for my accent colors. I haven't decided how I am going to use them yet but I love the color combination. We also bought a closet organizer that I am dying to put together so I can start hanging up clothes and putting toys away.

Paint for the nursery

I am stuck on colors. The picture on the left/top is Behr Country Mist. The picture on the bottom is Benjamin moore Annapolis Green. The paint on the left is still wet so I think that is why it looks so light, but it is a ice blue color. Also I am painting over blue paint anyways so it is not over a primer. Which blue do you like better?

The attic is getting there

We painted the stair way, primed the smaller room and put up doors on the small room and the larger room. The paint we used in the stair way is Behr Cottage White. For the small room we are using Behr Moon Dance, since it is a smaller room I wanted it to be bright, the color on the website makes it look more golden than the swatch does. We have still have to put rugs down hopefully that will be done this week.

RIP Papi Boy

On Friday my baby boy papi died. He was my first pet and was only 3 years old and he was definately a mamas boy. He died in an accident. Murph and I are devastated. Papi was not like any Chihuahua he was crazy, he liked to go on 2 mile runs with Murph and me. Loved people and other animals, hardly ever barked and just loved to kiss everyone. He loved playing fetch with sticks and socks. He was so good around children. It is going to take some time for me to get used to him not being here and I still cry alot when I look at pictures of him.

I love this blog!

Mary Ellens blog is one of my favorite food blogs. I love that she makes food that I always serve at my house. I love to cook steaks, pork and risotto and she has so many recipes for these items. I have been making some of her recipes for a while but I keep failing to take pictures and blog them. Try out some of her husbands marinades they are to die for.

Doing the Attic Over

We have a walk up attic that is pretty big. It is already split into two rooms. One room we are going to make an office and the other side will be an extra bedroom if we have alot of guest.

Here are some pictures of one side. We are doing one side at a time because we have some much stuff up there for storage. We have put up the walls and primed it. We are going to paint the stair way Cottage White. We have not decided on a color for this side yet. We are waiting to paint because we have to put the doors on and the rugs. We are going to put rugs down on the stairs and in each room.
