living room & kitchen

Aside from the red red dining room the rest of our downstairs was various shades of brown, tan, and caramel. Out with it all and in with the sage. Our house was also filled with awful awful cloth blinds. My guess is that they were once white and lovely, by the time we showed up they were more greyish and filled with dust...gross and now gone.

Kitchen

When Jim's dad was downsizing and selling his house he let us pick out some photos that we wanted. Jim's father took all these pictures when he was in college at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) back in the day. They are quirky and really quite random. We never found a place for them at our other house, well they had a place in a box in the basement but I'm not sure that counts. They have a much better place now.

Other random photos, not related to our house being painted...

Below the above ledge are a bunch of windows. Outside the window is our deck and a bird feeder. We call it our "bird tank" You know, like a fish tank but with birds. Here are a few photos I caught of a cardinal. He comes around with some lady cardinals, a woodpecker, and some assorted finches, I just couldn't catch them with the camera.


Purchased this orchid at Lowe's in the clearance section for sad dying plants. I only purchase the sad dying ones, all they need is sun and water and I totally have those things. This one was was a sad flowers less $6.99. Ya!! I knew it would come to life.
