Home Improvements Fall Edition

So far this fall we didn't do much as far as home improvements on our new house, but we hadn't really planned on it, and really haven't had time.


The focus has been the dinnnig room. There is a large wall in there that we are going to have black and white photos on, so for paint color, I wanted to have a grey or silvery. As we all know, the piant never quite looks the same on the wall as it does on the chip. Once it got up there and dried it turned out to be more blue then silver.


I really like the color, but I had bought burnt orange curtains, and there's no way orange and grey-blue go together. So I had to completely scrap that idea. Instead I'm going to stick with the black and white accents. I've got new curtains, but we'll have to wait until the Christmas tree is moved to put them up.



We also finished out the attic floor and now we have tons more storage! I love having an attic handy in the house. Our last home had a 2 foot square in the garage for attic access and once you were up there were too many beams to move around. I have too much stuff, I'm aware of this, but I'm not getting rid of the holiday decorations any time soon, so they have to go somewhere...



I'm hoping the spring provides us with more time to work on the house some more, because the winter is already busy. Check back then :)






I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the loactions that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down. -Mitch Hedberg
