From Coastal to Tropical Part 2

Hello my beachy friends!
This post has been a loooooong time coming...at least it seems like it to me!

I'm not even sure where to start???

Hmmm...

How about the Heart of the Home?

The Kitchen!

before

 

during...laying tile

After!

and I took several AFTER pics.

oops...'scuse my dishes in the sink! I do live here...lol.

Bree loves it!

Ahhh... that's better!

Zach approves!

Did you notice I still need a threshold? Maybe by the end of the week???

so many DOORS!

Nothing is on it's proper shelf, or in it's proper place....yet.

CD shelf makes a great SHELL shelf

As you can see, I still need to do some decorating. LOTS of decorating. And window treatments.

My bedroom had a massive remodel too!

Buuuuut since I'm still looking for a bedding set, and curtains....this room will have to wait...for Coastal to Tropical Part 3!

But it is so pretty! and I'm oh sooooo Happy! Which means my hubby is oh so happy, too!!!

I did spend half of yesterday running all over town looking for the perfect bedding set,(cause I want it NOW!) and found several...but they also were not washable, and I will not compromise! I did find one online that I am ordering. It IS washable!

I will have some after decorating pics coming up. Just give me a little...okay maybe more than a little...time.

Right now my craft room is full of my wall hangings, pictures, and various decor items. It is a mess!

I took some pics of my mess, but I don't think you really want to see it!

I better get busy! It's time to hang some stuff!

Love,
Del

From Coastal to Tropical

When I moved into my home 8 years ago, I chose cool coastal colors.
Now I'm tired of my cool coastal DRAB gray...

and I want some COLOR!

I've been going back and forth between Quiet Providence Peach, and Sweet Pink Grapefruit.

One day I am SURE that I want
Sweet Pink Grapefruit...
and the next day, and I'm like nooooo I like the
Quiet Providence Peach!
and back and forth, and on an on....

My paint samples are starting to get worn!

The Providence Peach is more PINK
and the Pink Grapefruit is more CORAL

I love BOTH of them! (and they are actually about the color of the color above them...my scanner lightened them a touch)

I think my marble merman and mermaid would really pop with one of these colors!

 

And things on this glass shelf would catch the eye better, too!

I still have about a week to decide. During this time I will be painting my oh too blue bedroom!

It is NOT the color that was on my sample when I chose it!

This room will soon be more of a nice sea green.  With flooring to match my furniture!

I have also picked out tile for the kitchen ;)

I picked this tile for the colors....but the name just happens to be OCEAN something! LOL

I think it will look amazing next to the PINK or CORAL dining room!

Okay, enough dreaming! 

It's time to clear out my bedroom, and get it started, so I can get it finished...

so I can move on to the living/dining areas. 

My little break is over...time to get movin' again.

pssssst...I have been playing around with some Olive shells, too!

Love,

Del
