What Have I Been up to: Priming, Cleaning, Painting

My inspiration photo: Eddie Bauer, Valspar Paint (from Lowe's). I'll be painting the walls Bungalow Gold and the fireplace in my room will be white like this pic. shown (except I'm using a white I already have from Wal-Mart, called Autumn Breeze). I'm THRILLED that I'm going to have this "look" shown here, because as of right now......this is what I've got........

...partially primed walls. (see my wood ceiling beams, those will stay...not painting them, I like the rustic look)

........partially primed brick.

Here's how it's going down.

1. Walls and brick fireplace are going to hopefully be finished in two days. (crossing fingers)

2. The furniture in here was given to us a while back and will be covered with slipcovers (from JcPenney) in an off white creamy color.

What else am I doing that's keeping me from posting regularly.

1. Children underfoot. (this is a BIG one here)

2. Getting laundry out of the way.

3. Getting closets cleaned out and everything out of them.

4. Fridge, Washer and Dryer will be moved out in a couple of days........Why you ask?????

Answer: Here in a day or two we're having our entire house tiled (everywhere except bathrooms and bedrooms......the bathrooms are already tile).

I'll be (trying) to keep you in the know with pics and such!!!!!!!!!

I'm BEYOND the EXCITEMENT point, we've needed tile in our kitchen since we've lived here (5 years ago). You can drop water on the kitchen or dining carpet and it stains it, plus it's just rightdown GROSS.

(kitchen pics. to come soon)

Please check in us as we go through this "beautifying" process...........hopefully YOU guys can help me with some painting decisions.
