Springing into Home Projects

With Spring approaching, it's time to get busy. No more putting off the house due to cold weather! Here ya go...

Project #1: The BM Bittersweet Chocolate living room phase is over, and I hope you all enjoyed it. I'm going back to light walls, i.e., au naturale vanilla bean. As much as I'd like to think I can do dramatic colors, dramatic colors just don't do my house.

Project #2: New rugs and window treatments for living room/dining nook.



Project #3: Going chinoiserie on the powder room with this wallpaper:



Project #4: Re-tiling MAIN bedroom in basic subway or pennyround tile (the builder basic faux stone tile has to go). Here's an idea (taken from http://www.remodelista.com/products/dal-penny-round-tile):

Project #5: My ambitious grassy patio didn't work out beyond the fall, so I'm filling it in with gravel and pavers (much to the chagrin of Nelson & Sophie).
