Even more painting

With everything that's been going on in the Rhine house, life has been a little crazy!  Remember when we had sewer-mageddeon?  Well, we just had the sequel.

But we're making the best of it.

So now that we've had the floor torn back out, we've got a chance to really make a difference in our house.  I'm actually pretty excited to get some good work done in our house.  

Cody did not approve of the giant fans scattered throughout the house.

Now with the fans gone, its new floor, new paint, new doorknobs, and other new little touches all around!

Good bye wall paper!!  Wait, is that more wallpaper under the wallpaper?  The green is what was in the kitchen, and the white with pink and blue flowers was in the hall and stairs.

Here's what we've done so far:

Notice the awesome painted light switches?  Rather than buying new ones, we just took the old ones out back and sprayed them with hammered bronze spray paint.  Voila! 

Have a great turkey day tomorrow!!

Kitchen palette

So I'm getting really excited about the new house.  Yesterday Jason and I found some dishware we really love from Bed Bath and Beyond.  Here are some other ideas for the kitchen that we're thinking about:

-Stainless steel appliances- new and already coming with the house!
-How to stain your own cabinets.  I'm thinking about doing a dark color, maybe more of a brown than gray. I think I'll be doing the table in the same color.
-Dishes from Bed Bath and Beyond: Roma Sage
-Idea from Pinterest to turn a thrifted bookshelf into a wine and liquor station!

I can't wait to move in..  I'm so excited.  For now, we pack.
