My Big Deal

I'm in a hurry so these photos aren't great but I finally finished the pillows for the living room and the mirror in the dining room, I think. The mirror isn't as dramatic as I wanted it to be. I painted it 3 times and I think the problem is that it isn't big enough to be a focal point for a dining room. Don't tell Bill, he's had enough of it I think. We got the mirror at Ross for cheap and an additional discount of 25% off because it had a few marks on it that I painted over.

I custom ordered the fabric for the throw pillows from Joanne's at 50% off. How you can discount special order fabric I'll never understand but I'm not going to argue! You can see in the photos that we painted the living room beige and the dining room kitchen "meditative blue" and we kind of agonized over the blue. I like it though, it's different and the shade is bright but not overpowering.

My whole deal with the house is I don't want it to look all chicked out so brown and blue are good colors I think to compromise on. Bill would definitely go with dark and heavy colors and I'm into many colors so we're working it out. The house is a bit of a mess since we're leaving to go camping here in about 5 minutes. We're taking half a sporting goods store for two days so we should have plenty to do while we are gone. I've got two new books I want to recommend but I've got to go! Have a great weekend!


Here is our living room before we moved in...
