when we bought the house, each room was painted cream. i get it. it shows better for everything to look somewhat clean, but it was a little bland for my taste. room by room we are embracing color. currently, we have no baseboards, closet doors, or door frames. while this drives me a little bit nutty, it makes painting a much more snappy job.
here is a little example of what we've been working on:
the office of the former owners
has been transformed into a guest room.
if you look closely, you'll notice that the hardwoods have been sanded and stained. i had always wanted darker floors but our former home had just had refinished floors. it didn't make much sense to re-do what had just been done. so we left it. but this new pad was in desperate need of some sanding. it was a perfect time to switch things up a bit and go for a tad darker stain. momma likey!
and if you are wondering why the first snaps that i am sharing after a two and a half month blogging sabbatical are of the guest room... well, that is simple friends. i wanted to invite anyone and everyone to buser bed and breakfast. we are officially open for business. oh, and the inspiration for this little room... the lemon tree, of course.
please call for a reservation.
LOVE the yellow dresser!!!! Keep the pictures comin'!!!
