Our House

So for the Past few weeks we've been making our place a home. This was the first room we attacked, the pictures we'll speak for themselves. Plus of course I'll put in my two cents about each pic.
Me Painting... The color is called Rye Green, we love it.
The love of my life painting...
Us having pretty much nothing, my mother-in-law was nice enough to give us this wicker furniture that was in her basement. So me being my mothers daughter had to paint it.
Me with my bandanna getting high as a kite.
My mom gave me this red piece when i left for college and its being put to good use.
This is the wicker end table finished. Its dark brown and i put some scrapbook paper underneath the glass to give it my own touch.
Being my Fathers Daughter i have a love for clocks as shown here. The chair i painted a ivory color.
This is Adams favorite piece. Believe it or not it was his idea to paint it pink, put some white lace around it and fill it with girlie Paris pictures. Isn't he the greatest? I'm being sarcastic of course. He still hasn't come to terms with the pink coffee table.
My mom and Ann made this little memorial of our wedding out of an old antique window. I love it and it was the perfect final touch to our family room. I had no idea what to put on this wall. Notice the rag quilt over the couch, my mom made that as a wedding gift for us, the colors tied everything together.
The picture frame on the wall are pics from our honeymoon. Good times...
Look forward to seeing the bathroom and the Dining area that are currently under construction.

Oh my gosh Syd! You definitely have the touch. I LOVE EVERYTHING! I need to come and see it in real life. At first when you were saying how it was Adam's idea to do the coffee table pink and girly his stock went down a little cause you know, that would be a little gay. But then you clarified. The coffee table is my favorite! I also love how you have paper in your picture frame we gave you, way to keep it from being too busy. Your window your mom made is also quite delightful. Oh, and what's with the green painters tape? Can you not do anything without being unique? :)

What fun! I love everything. I love how helpful Adam was too. I love the colors- esp the wall color. Painting the walls of a room will do the most to make it feel warm and homey. Cute, cute!
