why i always have paint on my nose

our project for the last month has been single-handedly repainting our house. we are half way through and starting to realize why people spend $5k to get the pros in :) but we're rewarding ourselves with a beach rental with our savings so it's going to be A-OK... right Aaron...?

the bathroom so far... kissable faucets and all
1bath

i know it's looks just like a toilet, right? but it's a magical toilet. the lid lowers silently by itself and never ever slams. it's magic... soooo NOT an off the shelf item ;)

Sam's room... note the 'smooky' pumpkin display left :) the clutter in here makes me sweat through my clinical strength deodorant

the very confusing den. i am not feeling the love with the mississippi mud pie wall behind the couch. i wanted more cozy warm cadbury's dairy milk.... do i repaint? take a bar of dairy milk to the man who mixes paint at home depot and have him put a dab of mixed paint on it to check for a good match? or just turn it back to cozy cottage? sleep on it? definitely sleep on it...

  1. OH WOW!! Love what you've done. Tell more about that toilet lid, I think it's a necessity for a house full of boys!! In the den, I like it. Take the candy bar and bribe the man with it IF he matches it to perfection :)

  3. it all looks so amazing (although i feel like it took months and months to finish that bathroom...surely you've earned AT LEAST a week away at The Beach House, and maybe an extra trip to the cape, too....). really really nice. i love your house.

    (making mental note to send something seasonal to hang on Danny's trees...)

  4. I saw go for the cadbury color in the livingroom..you should have at least one room with walls covered in something that makes you want to eat them..or just lightly lick them. Maybe some lickable wallpaper from Willy Wonka?
