Before and almost after Entry way

Good morning !



It's an almost before and after - because like everything else in this place - NOTHING is quite finished.

Baseboards are missing - thermostats are hanging out - there's pictures and mirrors and shutters lined up against every wall - but for now you can at least see a little of where it's going I suppose.

And for all of you that are asking about that kitchen floor - a post should go up about it later this week I hope - because THAT'S STILL NOT FINISHED EITHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here we go - here's what the entry way looked like in December - after living here a couple of weeks


And then it looked like this


And this is what I've managed to come up with for you so far ( well for John and I also )


Remember that secretary?  If you don't here's how it looked once upon a time ( you can see her makeover HERE - not sure if she's staying there - but for now it's a perfect fit :)


The whole space is really in a transitional stage -  but I've started putting a mini greek key design on the stairs in the midst of mayhem,
The wall is painted black - in the day it looks navy for some reason - which is fine by me since I was torn between navy and black - I kind of now have both !
There's the kitchen floor to the left lol.................



Remember those mirrors and how stupid I can be?  You can read it ( or see it ) HERE


Why is black so hard to photograph?  Here we go - much better?
Can I tell you I'm ready to paint every mirror and frame in my house gold all of a sudden?




Hope you realize I'm still at the stage where I have to run around like a crazy lady clearing areas to take photos - it DOES not look as tidy as this right now LOL ..................

Ok - have a coffee table that I'm very late finishing - so I'm going to be busy today ( last week was sheer chaos because sanding was done on all the walls that had dry wall installed and you know what that means - dusting and cleaning for a month after )

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!
Hugs,
Moi

A little pizazz for your flowers


I know this trick is as old as the hills - but I still love it!!!
You can go from pale pink ( which I prefer ) to almost fuschia!




Next week will be turquoise !!!

Have a wonderful day everyone :)
