FROM LAVENDER TO CRACKER BITZ

A couple weekends ago, we painted our bedroom! If you remember it was lavender when we moved in. I am not a lavender person-never have been into purple-so one of my priorities was getting it out of there. We went to Lowe’s to buy a bunch of things, one of them being a gallon of Olympic paint in Cracker Bitz (C17-4). Lowe’s is huge! Have you ever been? I was so overwhelmed!

That day, Alex learned how to buy paint… picking out the color, how all the paint starts out white and then they tint it… the whole 9 yards. It was an educational adventure! A successful one. I’m thrilled about the color. Sneak peek below and more photos after the jump.

Alex likes to coordinate his book to the color of the room. Mine matches the mantel.

BLANK SLATE

HELLO! It has been two weeks. It took me one and a half of them to get the internet in the new place (after many trials and tribulations). I’ve been commuting to and from and working at my new job, trying to unpack, sleep and eat well, and last week I was playing hostess in the midst of the settling. It has been a very busy time. I’ve got LOTS of things to do around the apartment and plenty to show you as those things get accomplished.

For now, I figured I would show you the apartment as we found it–empty of stuff, but FULL of potential, of course. I love this place and I can’t wait to make it look and feel the way I want it to look and feel. SO, without the instant gratification of the After photos (because it might take awhile for the After to exist the way I want it to), here are the Before photos:
