So Far So Good – Trim Work
Have I left you in suppense long enough??? I was hesitant even showing this picture! The room is FAR from finished and I don’t want you to judge based off of this picture, but I know you have been waiting so long…. sooooo here it is!!!
OK, Ok I know it’s NOT as grand as you were all hoping for BUT… this room was just thrown together with what I already had so I could feel like my house was SOMEWHAT liveable, you get what I’m saying right!? 🙂
Here is the room before…if you like the red better than the blue, PLEASE don’t tell me, at this point ignorance is BLISS and no matter, I have got to LIVE with it…No going back now! 🙂

OK, lets back track a bit, here is just a snap shot of ALL the many things I WANT and NEED to change about the room. Some will come quick and others will take time!
Te VERY first thing I need to do is work on getting another lamp shade for my blue lamp so that my mantle looks somewhat normal 😉
I also desperately need curtains, and also start the process of re-upholstered my over sized chairs in a pretty burlap type fabric. I also want to add nail heads to the chairs for some extra drama. BTW does anyone know someone really good in my neck of the woods that re-upholsters?? I am also looking for a NEW entrance light, so any suggestion in that area is much needed!

Here is a quick before picture! WOW…much improvement!!
In the meantime, the white Martha Stewart chairs are there for inspiration until I can switch them out. Eventually they will work their way into the kitchen..but that’s an Entirely different project that I will have to update you later on!
Phew….I’m already tired just thinking about all the things I want to do, and living 3 hours away from any good home decor shopping has it’s challenges! Anyone living in south east IDAHO and has a darling decorated house…My hat is off to you, You UNDERSTAND the hardship and pain it is to decorate ANYTHING!! thus is the reason I don’t have another lamp shade. When I was at Pottery Barn last they gave me the wrong size shade sooooo it’s another trip down and afew lot of dollars later in gas JUST to fix the shade! Aughhhhhh!! I’m not complaining, really I’m not. But if you could please do me a favor when all you Utah girls are out shopping and when they ask your zip code at checkout, say you are from 83404 so that they will FINALLY build a Tai Pan HERE:)

Here is the picture of the hall…I am LOVING the trim, but now I need to add some MAJOR color!!! I have a few ideas up my sleeve, BTW taking pictures of Halls is NO easy task, This shot looks soooo much better in person than in this picture!
Here are a few pictures BEFORE
So there you go!
It’s Not perfect but it’s a start, I am in the process of deciding on a MAIN ROOM color and looking into adding a bit more accent colors like warm gray hues to the room.
We will see what I end up doing? Always an adventure around here:)
