Luxe Decor: Closing Day & The First Order of Business!

Wish us luck, today is the closing day!! And if all goes as planned, by the end of the day we will have keys in hand, opening doors for contractors to begin work right away.

 

Right now, the projects seem endless...but like Christin did, we will start with the basics, refinishing the existing wood floors to a darker stain, replacing carpet and painting EVERYTHING white!

 

In our opinion, you just can't beat a rich, dark floor and a crisp, white wall!

 

 We will be installing wall to wall sisal carpet upstairs...

And many, many more projects to come!

The Nursery Diaries Part Two: Commitment Issues

There were a few things I knew I wanted for sure in the nursery.  The one I felt strongest about:  white walls.  For those who know me well, I have a bit of a color commitment issue.  Especially when it comes to committing to a wall color.  As much as I would love to paint the walls a rich navy, I worry about how long it will be before I am disappointed they aren't white.  Plus the nursery will be our smallest bedroom and needs all the light it can get.  As with the other rooms in my house, I decided that I would bring in pops of color through the accessories and artwork.

Despite my issues, there are some great navy walls out there for inspiration:
