My camera had been missing for a frightfully long period of time. That's another symptom of pregnancy, you know, bad memory. In fact, bad memory explains why I showed up for my last prenatal appointment on Tuesday at 1:00, rather than Wednesday at 1:00, but that's another story.
My heroic mother once again saved the day, by rescuing my camera from the middle console in her car, right where I left it. She, then, is responsible for what is around the corner.
I am not going to wow you with beautiful landscapes or enormous bellies, but rather, with badly lit pictures of my new space. In the off chance that I convince my husband to get the walls painted (though I do love what 12 kids who have occupied the place within the last 5 years left behind) and then I start to actually decorate, I want some "befores" for the "afters."
I knew you'd understand.
It will almost be like HGTV, minus the professional decorators and cameramen. Also, minus any type of decorating budget or helpful hubby.
I give you, the kitchen:
At least I have a few pretty dishes? But really, how do you work with that color of green? And here's a more difficult question: How do you work with that color of green in the master bathroom?
Things I like/can work with: the white blinds, the white appliances, the wall color, the tile, the cabinets. Basically, the kitchen isn't half bad.
Followed by, the living room:
I think people usually clean their houses before taking their "before" pictures, but... I'm going to use my pregnant card on this one.
Things I like/can work with: the carpet and the french doors.
Enemies that I will turn into friends: green walls and the Behemoth Desk.
And the hallway, which, why not:
Impressive, I know.
Things I like: It's a blank canvas??
Things that make this difficult: There's a whole lot of wall, which you can't see from this picture. I'm thinking gallery wall, which is guaranteed to drive Husband nuts.
Up next: dining area, master bathroom, master bedroom, guest bathroom, nursery, and the back porch.
Oh, the suspense!
Any fabulous design ideas out there?
How fun! I actually like the green wall... haha. I see florals of red and pink! I'm sure that'll make Anson VERY happy, haha.
