House decoration has proved to be a lot more stressful than I’d originally planned. We’re going for the earthy tones, with subtle hints of romance, charm, and intellect. HA, that’s a load of bull! We pretty much want our house to be comfortable, personal, warm, inviting, relaxed, challenging, and peaceful. Yes, we want all this for our 800 square foot house, excluding the ginormous laundry room slash garage.
I’ll start with the front bedroom, which actually has no work done to it just yet. But our inspiration for this room is where we are taking our honeymoon, in 18 days by the way! Seattle, Washington! We have put our new-to-us FREE piano in this room, there is a window nook, and a big walk-in closet. We will definitely post before and afters of this one, because this is our favorite room in the whole house! The room is going to be painted a light grayish-blue, with the nook being a creamy tan color.(we’ll post pictures) The nook is going to have a chocolate brown seat cushion with about eight fluffy, different shape and designed pillows in various shades of blue, green, gray, and white. Since the nook has a cutout that extends the full length of the window and beyond, we are going to have floor to ceiling sheer white curtains. In the window, to add a little privacy, we’re going to add a white roman shade. A 6 foot tall bookshelf will be painted a lovely shade of stark white, and have pictures and vases, and random knick knacks on it. And this is our relaxation place.
Our bedroom. We’ve decided out bedroom is going to have the romantic-warm, hate to break it you, but sexy feel. Warm browns and burnt oranges cover this room. We are almost done with this room now, so there are just a few things to add. Like a canopy, similar to the picture, but different. We’ll post pictures of it to better explain. We’re going to add sconces above the night stands instead of table lamps, so our night stands are freed up. Some shelves lined with candles will be added on two walls, and a picture frame above the bed, but beneath the canopy top, and we’ll be done with this room.
Our hallway is pretty much going to stay how it is since its mostly doors. Our closet/bookshelf is going to be just that. And we’ll probably change out the sconce at some point.
The bathroom. OH, the bathroom. Well, we painted it the chocolate brown, and are regretting it now. So, this room is going to get a complete makeover. New paint in the color that the nook is will be the biggie. Our current shower curtain is going to become our Fall/Winter curtain, and we’ll get a lighter, more airy feeling one for Spring/Summer. Probably the same light blues, greens, and grays will be used here too.
The living room is going to be mixture of the bedrooms with those colors. We haven’t quite decided what we’re going for here, other than we are going to have a picture wall. For example, check out www.younghouselove.com. The pictures will all be ones that we have taken ourselves. Other than this, we’re pretty much undecided at this point.
Our dining room is small so we’ll combine it with the kitchen. We want to have a pendant light with a vintage shade, we already have a pretty sweet clock up (thank you Target!). We’ll eventually decide on some curtains and then that room will be done. There isn’t much wallspace, so I think we’re going to start searching for an interesting thing to do to the cabinets.
The laundry room will eventually be closed in smaller, so we can open the garage up! We will paint it some off the wall color, just to be fun!
Well, this is the inside plans of the house!
The outside plans are much shorter, but probably just as expensive. Our lovely dogs have begun to dig craters in the yard, gnaw on the deck, and they even escaped once. So the grand plans are:
Replace the privacy fence
Replace the railing on the deck
Put up a fence from once side of the privacy fence to the other(the width of the yard) flush with the front of the deck, it will have a gate
Build a sand box around the tree they are trying to uproot, so they can dig,dig,dig all they want!
Build a doggie-pool where they can cool off when it gets hot
Build a dog house
Move the shed up next to the house?(maybe)
next to the deck(between the privacy fence and the dog-blocking fence) plant shrubs, flowers, and put a bench there.
Other side of the deck(hopefully the shed will go here, if not then...)same as other side
DECK
move the patio furniture onto the deck
put up umbrella
hang up garden lights
Build firepit
get outdoor cushions
get outdoor storage box
move grill out here
DONE.
Hopefully. The outside is gonna be crazy.
