Lost Reno

A few weeks ago I painted our red brick in our family room. It was a LONG process that was spread over a few days, but I think the end result turned out quite nice. I feel like the white brightens up the room.

Before: (please excuse the toys)

After:

I also painted the lamps from a blue to a black and got a new ottoman.

And painted the mirror above the fireplace from a gold to a black.

And, got a new FLOR rug!

Future plans... paint the room a much softer,lighter color; add built-ins around the fireplace; rip out the current TV montrosity to open up the room; take up the carpet (We are talking about doing this after our second child is walking... and I'm not even pregnant... so, we've got a while.)

Latest Reno

Remember this little problem?

Our busted sink worked (at the moment), but would need to be replaced before either the calk came completely undone or we sold the house. (Not that we are selling anytime soon.) So, what used to look like this:

Now looks like this:

It's not complete yet. I have a shower curtain on order and I plan to repaint the green to a taupe color when my finger is back to normal.
