Winter Break is Finally Here!

Today is our first day of winter break and we are enjoying every second of it! We had planned on sleeping in, but did not plan on crashing last night at 9pm. All of our work has caught up to us. We woke up this morning with a game plan of what will be happening in the next few days and then ran to the Depot to pick up what we needed to get through the day. We are planning to go back tomorrow evening for the last batch of things we will need (Wainscot for ceiling and walls, interior sliding doors, exterior doors for entry and back master bedroom, not to mention all of the baseboard and trim...needless to say we will need delivery :))

Last weekend I was lucky enough to have four friends come and help us paint the downstairs. We decided to stick with our beach theme and have selected a coral color for our master bed, bath, and closet. A robins egg blue for the entry way, with a light purple for the mudroom, and a neutral khaki for the other bedroom next to ours). Here are some pics (the colors appear MUCH brighter on the camera then they really are :))

Here is the coral master. We are planning on doing a wainscot ceiling and to add in beams.






This is what we are going for with the ceiling...

The entry way will also have wainscot, but halfway up on the walls. Here is what it looks like right now...



Here is the second downstairs bedroom and entry way into that room's bathroom





We felt very overwhelmed when we saw this...

...but we were very happy to have friends who were more than happy and willing to help :)


Tonight's task is to level down the concrete so that we can begin to clean and lay down our flooring. We will also be painting ceilings and looking into our lighting options. It is so exciting to see that the end is in sight...

Feeling very grateful to feel so very lucky. <3
