Paint, lights and carpet!

We have walls that are painted and finish electric!  We just finished painting the bedroom and bathroom in our master suite.  It's a medium-dark shade of Tiffany blue, which will hopefully be decorated with silver, chunky/antique picture frames, white linens, and a spot of color in throw pillows.  It may be awhile before the room is decorated, but we will be sure to post some photos of our progress!

I also began painting the stairwell, as the yellowish gray and outdated, dirty white walls were thirsting for something new.  The trim is taking forever to paint, but it will be done eventually!  The trim will be white, with tan walls.

Brian and I rented a U-Haul cargo van today and drove around picking up more items to complete our major project (i.e. a toilet - wahoo!, countertop for the vanity, trim/baseboards, etc.).  I can't wait to see the progress - it's much more fun to watch at this stage of the game!  Below is a photo of the carpet we picked out, as well as a photo of the beautiful finished wood stairs we found beneath the old carpet!

As usual, stay tuned for more updates!

Lots of love,
The Busy Bees

The beginning trim-painting in the stairwell.  Look at the disgusting walls!  I can't wait until they're tan!

The start of tiling the shower...hopefully it will be done after the weekend!

Finished electric work!  Recessed lighting, a cap on the ceiling fan box and a smoke detector (red thing comes off):

Bedroom:

And you will notice the outlet and cable hook-up on the wall where Brian really wants a TV to go...we have different opinions on what should go there...I'm thinking of some beautiful artwork/wedding pictures...we'll see who wins!!  :-)

Closets with mounted fluorescent lighting:

The pretty, finished floors on the stairwell.  Hopefully they'll all be in good shape!
