for real this time - I hope!

I picked out what I hope are the final paint pictures - now that we've got the windows and bathroom nearly done. All colours are from Lowe's except Lime Light and Contemplation (they're Behr, but we did colour matching since we have more Lowe's coupons) I wanted to go a little bold in the bathroom so there's a pop of colour! Here are the house pics - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=213239&id=500590071&l=1c26eab328

Edit: I just noticed the paint I picked kind of matches my journal background! I guess it's pretty obvious what my style sense is...

House update!

We've started the work on the house! The new pics are on my facebook page and here's some of the big changes! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=213239&id=500590071&l=1c26eab328
Old pics are first, new second.

we had a busy weekend picking out stuff for the house!
So far we've picked cabinets (either a gorgeous chocolate or a comfy creamy white depending on the floor colour)
countertop - an italian granite with a beige base, and accents of gold, chocolate and seafoam
backsplash - I couldn't find the exact tile, but this is similar!








Here's our sink - I'm excited because it's a composite sink so it won't scratch or stain supposedly, and a single bowl. I never understood the whole two bowl thing -












carpet - just a beige berber - very simple and easy to clean
vanity for the bathroom - I have yet to order it, but this is it!















tile for the bathroom floor - we didn't go with anything fancy here, since we want to add on a master bath later, I'll get my dream tile in there. Just some simple, nice 89 cent tile (SO inexpensive!)
Later I think we'll tear down the tile in the bigger bathroom and put up one of these two in the shower, but for now a shower curtain will cover the old icky tile -









soon I get to pick out paint colours! I think those'll wait till we're closer to moving in though.
