Updated House Pictures

In case you're interested. And remember... decorating doesn't come naturally to me. I read lots of decorating blogs and BH&G and I still struggle with it. So if you have better taste them, laugh when I'm not around. ~_^

Sooooo.... Kurt likes to make fun of my pear. I happen to love it. And I think I did a decent job on this table, decorating and what not. I think the mirror is pretty cool. This table is actually REALLY old. It was Kurt's great grandmother's.

The table in all it's glory. And, yikes, my legs. And painting basketball shorts (they've served me well over the last 5 or 6 years...)

We've bought a love seat! And got a side table that you can't see (thank you Ikea $12 Lack tables). Eventually we want to build bookshelves on that far wall, and then the love seat will move.

This is the same, but I discovered that I have a backlight function on our new camera. So it looks good!

This room just needs curtains and it'll be pretty much done for the time being. Except I want to get a rug. Someday...

And same as the last pictures, nothing changed in this one, it's just way better quality than the last pictures of it. We should've hung the chandelier lower, but it's too late now I supposed. Oh man, I love those curtains and that pineapple chandelier.

So, BIG change in the bedroom. Moved everything around. And got some pictures and hooks up. I LOVE IT!! Those pictures above the bed are my pseudo-headboard and they look so stinkin' good! And it was about a $60 project, you can't beat that. Way better than a $400 headboard. You can't tell in this picture, but they're black and whites of cherry blossoms. Which, many of you know, I love since I love all things Japanese.

Oh, also, I'm thinking about putting vinyl lettering that says, "Sogni di oro, dorme bene." Every night since we were dating, I tell Kurt, "Sweet dreams, sleep well" and he says the Italian back to me. But I'm wondering if that would be too much going on on the walls? Let me know what you think. Or maybe just "Sogni di oro." (It's equivalent to sweet dreams, but actually means "dreams of gold.")

Oh yeah, and I want to make 3 decorative pillows. Well, the covers at least, not the actual pillows. I just need a sewing machine, dang it. Unless anyone knows where I can get square black pillow covers.

Ok, so the hooks. I'm not sure I love them there now that they're up. But it took a lot to hang them and Kurt was so good about it, I can't ask him to move them. Maybe in a year. I mean, they're really cute (and I got all 3 for $1.65!), and I need the hooks to hang my purses up. But they might be crowding the wall. What do you think?

I think this hook is in a great spot.

UGH! WE NEED CLOSET DOORS! That's our next project. Closet doors and new closet floors. Right now they're this gross, ratty carpet. We're going to rip it up and put down cedar planks. They'll look nice, smell good and keep away moths. It's a win-win-win situation.

Lastly, waaaay back in October, Camille was a rock star and painted our cabinets for us. During the biggest blizzard I've ever been in. So what does your house look like when you have to paint everything indoors and you have no garage.

BUT LOOK HOW GOOD THEY LOOK! I knew the kitchen would look so much better with white cabinets and I was right! Oh my, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE my kitchen now. There's nothing like white cabinets, in my opinion.
