Hazel's Bedroom Part 1



When we moved in, it was a shade of beigey-grey. In fact our bedroom and the outside of the house look like they are the same exact shade of beigey-grey! Something had to be done ASAP! So we found our semi-local Mythic paint dealer and ordered a few gallons for our rooms.

Hazel's is called You Are My Sunshine. Which I found to be perfect, since we sing that song a million times a day everyday. It was also the song my grandfather sang to my mother. Here are a few pictures of her freshly painted room with some of her belongings inside. I am still debating on the actual set up of furniture. I painted her dresser (which we got from my parents' neighbor's garbage -- hey it's real wood with new-looking hardware!) and used Mythic's Sprite Mist(something like that name) to spiff it up. Some other pieces are brighter greens and various bright colors.




We started painting our bedroom tonight. Then I used henna on my hair. Since our well/plumbing is kinda crazy- we don't have hot water and now my head is tingling from spending 10 minutes under the faucet getting the grit out from my scalp! I went with black and I am pretty happy with how it came out! All about changing colors..hmm must be longing for autumn!

where we are: update

So I don't think I've been away from this blog for this long- ever. I've missed having this outlet for creativity or to dream about being creative and sharing what is new in our life with friends! Hello Everyone, I've missed you!
Some pictures for what's been going on!
On our 4th anniversary of marriage,we bought a little cottage!


(i guess foreclosed homes don't get the fancy "SOLD" signs ;( )


the comic relief.

It needed/needs a lot of TLC as it had been vacant for over 2 years. Even after Zach cut the lawn,with the heat and no rain for awhile the lawn now has almost died. Still so much to do to get it where we'd like it.




In the muck of it. Yard work and loving every bug bite and creepy crawler.

Zach still raking...


our little mantle. The fireplace may or may not work and might end up with a wood burning stove, either way it looks sweet with random prints and artwork and photos just haphazardly placed up there out of necessity ( hazel on the loose!)

Next pictures of Hazel's own bedroom! Hoot hooty! This weekend we start painting our bedroom. Hooty hoot!
