The Story Of Us

Continuing with yet another post where I failed to do my duty as a blogger and totally forgot to take before pictures until it was almost too late. :( For those of you who haven't been following along on our renovation journey here's a look at what we've been up to lately inside our home H's room started out brown.. a milky coffee brown. The walls, the trim, the doors.. they were all painted the same color, the carpet a lighter variation of the same.. By the time I remembered that I forgot to take pictures the painters had already started spackling.  In the meantime the carpet was ripped out and the floors refinished. During the refinishing process we learnt a few things too.. beneath the carpet on the hardwood floor we discovered these stains Turns out the previous family's pet liked to use this room to relieve itself. :( Yup.. gross.

The process of decorating is definitely more fun than the renovation part.. though not so sure if M would agree since he is the one with the hammer. We started with the master bath and the master bedroom  and you can take a click here to get a peak at all the renovating we have already done. We started with this.. though I of course waited too long.. forgot to do my blogger duty of taking good before pictures.. and by the time I got around to taking the pictures we were at a point in our renovations where we were all sleeping in his room.. Nonetheless this was no cute, fun child room The room was painted a light barely there purple.. It is his current favorite color and since we don't intend to paint the room a different color every time he picks a new favorite we picked something light, Behrs Permafrost.  The gross old carpet was removed.. the floors...

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all my mommy readers. We didn't exactly celebrate Mother's Day this year.. instead we had some friends over for lunch. The kids played and we ate and talked..
