Home Owners

Well tomorrow we officially close on our house! I am so excited! I am taking the next few days off of wedding planning (with the exception of receiving RSVPs). This should help me to get less frustrated with the planning and to be able to enjoy setting up our house.  We might start painting ceilings tomorrow!!  Next week I am going to  be cleaning everything and getting the place ready to be moved into. It's nice that we have this time so that we can slowly move in and aren't rushed to get possession and clean and unpack.

Today I bought us our paint supplies! Rollers, trays, drop cloths, brushes and paint! We have to paint all the ceilings at least on the top floors because there were smokers before us so the ceilings are stained. We are also hoping to paint our bedroom. Right now the colour we both seem to like is Evening Eclipse by Valspar. So we'll see if that's what we go with or not!!

I look forward to starting to decorate and make our house into our home! 

Colours!

So as we get closer to get the house (8 sleeps) I get more and more excited about how we will decorate it.
I have already convinced Tom that we needed blue hand towels in our bathroom. So we registered for those to go with other ivory and chocolate brown towels that we registered for. It's hard to tell here but the tiles are dark brown. Above the tile there is currently and off white textured wall paper...that will come down! We will likely paint it. We also hope to update the vanity and put in double sinks!!  There is so much room between the toilet and vanity at present that it excites me for the possibility to have double sinks!! The first house we put an offer in on had double sinks!!  I think the blue towels will be a nice accent in here!!

So our first project we want to do (besides repainting the ceiling to get rid of smoke stains - darn smokers!!) is paint our bedroom. For awhile we wanted grey to go with this bedding we hope to get. But after going and looking at colours I am not sure.  I think finding a grey that matches and is in the right family might be hard. There are so many greys out there! Dear me!! So then I was liking the blue-greys and then I thought why not blue! Tom is not sold on blue but I like it. It's his favourite colour so why doesnt he like it!

So here are my new inspiration colours!!

This second one is Tom's favourite and I think I like it best. So today I will be picking up paint chips! What fun!!!
