Decorating update

The chairs came today and we're really delighted with them…even better than we pictured and just can't wait for Monday to have the blue carpet in.


I've chosen the colours for the rest.  I'll do the same "Gourmet Honey" that is in the hall and kitchen on the kitchen cabinets.  The Master Bath will be "Silver Cloud"…works really well with the sandy colour of marble counter and tile floor.


And then a pale lavender for the second bathroom and bedroom.  This photo doesn't quite capture it.



We decided to replace the carpet in the den as well…this looks great with the red walls and other stuff in there.

Last round of painting will be next weekend.  Jim and I will start on the Mondrian colours and design for the coffee table and end tables.  I have all the paint and it will be cooler for the next few days so a good time to be doing that.

We bought this set at the Canyon Sands garage sale last weekend for $25.  We decided to put them in the main patio as they are wonderfully comfortable and the footstools store under the chairs so take up very little room.  A great deal as one thing i've noticed is patio type furniture seems quite expensive around here.  Pretty much everything else is a deal.



It's really all been tremendous fun and I'm under budget!
