It's Paint People

The pigment has arrived and we're loving it. Mostly we're sticking with white on white but in a few places we're laying it down. I likey.





This chartreuse really sings against the brick wall. It's the first thing you see when you walk in the front door and look up the stairs. When the west light comes through the windows it's magic. I also like how the neighbor's green shingles look in this vignette.




I know you think this next one looks like a nursery but it's not. The yellow is MUCH more hip young married couple awesome yellow in person! Really it is. (really) err, yup. Ok, maybe it's a little light and I played it too safe. I'm hoping once the floors get refinished it'll warm up and have a little more legs. If not, it looks like this will be one of my first tasks before moving to repaint it. I'm not giving up hope though...


Up next...the floors get sanded and finished this week. Next post should look much different. Talk to you soon!

Springfest 5.0

What a lovely lovely evening we had last night in the courtyard with an intimate group of friends. The weather was calm and crisp, while the guests were warm and thirsty. It was a little bittersweet since it will be the last time that Amy and I will be living here to help host the party. Thanks to all who helped make it so very sweet.


Yellow was the color of the evening and many of Lew's garden plants served as decoration. See Amy here checking the details one last time before guests arrived.




And me with handsome husband glinting in the sunset.




...and a few other smashing details. It was visual perfection.

Are You Ready To Rock...

Things are really jammin'. Check out the sheetrock that started going up. Looking good.

Here stands husband in front of what will be the washer + dryer space and our teeny office space, just off the kitchen. Remember last week when you could see through to the stairs?



Painting and flooring up next. Whoo (fist in the air)!
