Linen Closet

Nothing like a surprising pop of pink behind the closet door. The linen closet is getting the Lilly Pulitzer treatment with Hollyhock Pink by Martha Stewart. Some nice white shelves and bright floral contact paper will complete the look!

Here's the inspiration: The Lilly Pulitzer store on Madison Ave

Stairway

Refinishing the steps has been a challenge since they still need to be usable. Every other one it is!

Jasmine gets it right

Completed Master Bedroom

It's done! It's finally done!

The walls are Exotic Eggplant by Behr and the woodwork, as usual, is Falling Snow by Behr. Two small chandeliers and a little fireplace tiling needed, but other than that it's gorgeous!

Here's the "before" for reference:

Growing Girls

                                                    

The girls are growing like crazy these days. Although they look to be growing into full-sized collies and not the Shelties we were led to believe they were! Guess you take your chances with rescues. They ought to be magnificent guard dogs. 

Almost Done

This room (the master bedroom) has been a really drawn out process (remember the bees last year?), but I am happy to report that the woodwork is entirely painted, the floor is refinished, the ceiling is painted and now it is just awaiting a few coats of Exotic Eggplant (by Behr) and it will be ready to move into! Though there is a fair amount of electrical work to be done still. There is only 1 outlet in the entire room and it doesn't even work!

Puppy Update

The girls are growing like crazy...and tearing the top layer of paper off the drywall in the laundry room where they're corralled. Ahhh puppies. Meanwhile, they've got Jasmine feeling absolutely exhausted.
