There's No Place Like Home!

So after some "encouraging" from a dear eccentric friend :) I've updated where we were as of a few weeks ago. Since these pictures I have gone on several decorating rampages! I'll blame it on the nesting. We now have much more art, a RUG and I may have bullied Red into painting our master bedroom a color that closely resembles a peacock...I will post some before and after pictures of that soon!

A slight change to the nook...still deciding if this is the color scheme we want to go.

This is that new rug I was talking about in the living room...for some reason this is was one of the only picture I had of this new rug! As you can tell Red approved. I'll work to get a picture of it without Red covering half of it! (Done!)

I needed a picture and Red was working (under Barkley's watchful eye)! This is a house that we live in so I took the picture with him in it! Oh well! Ha!

It was quite the process getting just the right balance of colors (according to my deranged perception of just how much pink a little girls room should have...)

With some tweaking:







The guest room, much better without it's Jackson Pollock inspiration! We now have a place for GiGi, Poppa and whoever else wants to come visit to stay! Yahoo! 

On to the master bedroom. This color looks much more royal in real life, and that's the best part I get to see it in real life everyday! It feels like a warm cozy retreat! after several color attempts this is my absolute favorite! We are still working on tweaking the bedding, spraying our wrought iron door headboard and reattaching a vent...but it is already a place I want to curl up and escape to! Which is probably good since once little girl arrives I will never, never, be going anywhere again...just kidding...probably only kind of! 




Finally there is our master bathroom. We have come a long way from duct tape grout. We still have to decide on a color for the accent wall (hence the blue painter's tape). Yellow would make the most sense since it does have a grey and yellow shower curtain...however, there is just something about a yellow wall in a restroom that grosses me out...hmmm. Still brainstorming. I am so glad that Red talked me into redoing this room! The bathtub has been used a TON and I can only imagine the renovators remorse I would have had if I had skipped this step! 





And that is where we are for now! There are a million little projects here and there. Quite a bit of tiling and grouting to be done and a little landscaping to really make it start feeling like a home and not a construction site, but so far the Rehab has absolutely turned into a fairy tale destination for me!
