Painting again...




Well---give me freedom from teaching pre-k or subbing elementary/middle school and what do I want to do? PAINT! The walls in this house are ALL Kahki and frankly...I'm "burned out" on Kahki..plus--5 yrs of someone else's kids hand prints EVERYWHERE is driving me insane...

What do you think? This is what I want for my kitchen...It's called Bellflower blue-Ralph Lauren paint. I'm going to match it with a golden yelllow-Chamois is the name and I've yet to get the sample out of the bag yet..but I'll post it.

My kitchen plans----Black table...bead board-wanes coating(white) under the wall trim in dinette area where the brown paint is now...and to hang a black cabinet up on the blue with the potential to get a buffet for the kitchen in black.

Lauren's Room: 2 Walls are blue and 2 are green --per directions of daughter! (LOL!)...














Okay---the master bedroom is painted the Olive color I had in the Machado home. I LOVED the soothing color it made the room and since I had just painted it in December '05, no reason not to use it again here--in Aug. '06. I am working on finishing the master bath in what paint I had left-it's about 95% done and looks great with the ceramic tile in there!


Here is the kids bathroom: As you can see-I am really digging this "green" color this year! I think it has to do with liking to mow the lawn so much? Just a wild guess...This shower curtain is what I bought when we had to re-paint the Machado Master Bath to put the home on the market. And since I had bought it in the later part of April, I wanted to use it again! It so happens to have the "right" color green in the stripe to match with the extra paint I had left over in Lauren's room!
I've done some "redecorating" the past month:

Lauren's room was a "cowboy" theme--so I repainted the red/khaki to candy apple green and sky blue. I also had extra green paint, so I added that color to the kids bathroom!

HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!





We had a great 3 day weekend! We drove early Saturday to Houston to spend the weekend with my parents and my brother. Rob and Erin brought the boys, and we all had a blast!

Here is baby Wyatt (3 months) and Dylan (2 yrs) and my kids...
