Okay (cough. cough). I have succumbed to peer pressure. Here are TWO rooms from our house, the first that we finished so that the boys would be settled and comfortable as quickly as possible.
So there is Oliver’s room. Pretty basic, gray-blue walls. One entire wall is white wooden bead board, and we decided to keep that as is for now. It has actually grown on me, and is perfect for a little one’s room.
Next up: Milo’s room. Many of you may recognize the wall color… I figure if you find something that works, use it. In three different houses, even!
And Andrew took this picture the other day of Oliver in the living room, but it shows the dining room in the background pretty well. We will be changing the light fixture, centering it over the table, and replacing the IKEA folding chairs with benches eventually, as well as adding a sitting area where you see the rug (between the table and where Oliver is sitting). It doesn’t show in this picture, but the dining room is huge, and really there is enough space for two living areas. So… that will be the next project! Stay tuned for more of the tour!
Fabulous…that will tide me over. For now. I really love the colors and the rugs you chose for the boys rooms. Very un-juvenile yet whimsical…they’ll grow well with their changing tastes. I especially like the “Where’s Waldo” quality of the pictures, looking for Oliver in each one!
Your photos make me miss St. Louis. So glad you are happy there. Your little boys are so cute.
Gerlyn, now you can come back anytime you want! And we won’t make you sleep on the floor this time. Unless you want to.
The house looks amazing! Can’t wait to see the rest of it!
I love the color choices! Both rooms look so great and ridiculously clean and neat. Can’t wait to see more!!
