I want to get to know my blog readers (and if you are reading this, that means YOU.) As these projects move forward, I'd love your feedback. Let me know if there is ever anything you'd like me to cover. Do you have any design questions? Is there something you'd like to learn? Now please, don't get me wrong, this is MY blog after all, so I will often write on the things I'm in the midst of. BUT, there would be no point in me going on if you weren't interested in tuning in. I'd love to hear from you! So that's that....now moving right along.
Drum roll puh-lease............I finished the foyer floor today AND remembered my camera this time. So I figured I'd post the pictures right away so you can see what I'm getting excited about. I got a bit carried away with pictures (probably to compensate for forgetting my camera last time.) But hopefully this will give you the thrill and excitement it gives me.
Here is the floor before the final coats of color were applied (the grid was still showing through a bit.)
View from the living room, into the awesome-floor-foyer, into the soon to be beautiful dining room.
Second coats have been applied! Now just imagine a beautiful floor in the dining room and we are really going places! I wish you could see inside my head....it really does all look so beautiful in the end, I promise.
ANOTHER BIG REVEAL! (Pardon the glare from my flash) We made silhouettes of the family as one of our DIY art projects. Curious George included of course, as he is their 4 year old's bestest imaginary friend. Simply take a picture of each family member in front of a white wall, print it out to the size you'd like....cut out, trace onto black paper....cut that out, and apply to the frame of your choice. The actual project probably took less than 15 minutes, and only cost the amount of the frames and construction paper. NOT- TOO- SHABBY.
That's right kitchen floors....You're next! After we get the walls and cabinets painted, this floor will look much like the foyer floor. What a funky and fun kitchen this will be!
I may not have mentioned it, but this work is EXHAUSTING! The homeowner's shoulder became the perfect resting spot for Huddy while I completed the foyer floor.
Ok, I may have gone overboard with the photos....but it's like when you first have a baby. You just-can't-stop taking pictures! So here is just one more view of this beaut of a foyer floor.
Remember my last post about organizing? Yeah....that's tonight's project; empty out the dining room and prepare for amazing transformation. As you may see, the bead board is purchased and awaiting install and paint. Soon my friends, so so soon. Still no word on the wall with the water spot, and for that reason that wall remains unpainted. Hopefully in the next few days we'll know more on that, but in the meantime, the other 3 walls are about to get some much needed attention! But first....the organization project of emptying out the room! Not only that, be in this transformation, we are doing as much reusing and re-purposing as possible. Wait until you see the transformations we'll be doing to pieces that were originally in this room.
Elliott is closing his eyes and waiting for the next big reveal! Ok, actually, he was just "smiling" for me.....but the next big reveal will be another fun one for sure people.
So there you have it! Are you excited or what!?! A few more DIY projects to report on soon.
Until then, think outside of the box! Claustrophobia is never ever fun.
