Project House to Home

We have lived in this current house of ours for almost 3 years and if you walked in you would immediately think, does anybody live here? Of course we have furniture, toys, and other random stuff. But the point I'm making is that the house just doesn't look lived in, it's missing that "home" feeling. Part of the problem was the paint...eeekkk...when we bought the house there were some very random colors splattered around the place. Green, brown, tan, yellow, gold, faux finish, you name it the house had it. The first few years Jeremy and I looked at paint colors all the time and never could settled on that perfect combination of what we wanted to do. This lack of final color put all decorating on the back burner. As we know time flies and it seems like the months just passed by. Finally towards the end of last year we decided that painting was not a project we were cut out for and decided to just hire somebody to come paint it for us and hopefully help us decide on colors. We ended up with the most awesome painters who not only did a spectacular job painting the whole inside of the house for us, but also helped us to nail down the perfect color for the house. It's not too bold and not too bright. Soft and subtle with a million possibilities.
Now that the house is painted it's like a blank canvas just waiting for our special touches. Jeremy & I had made a pact that this year would be 2009:Project House to Home. I figured what better way to track the things that we do, both big and small, than right here. I can then look back and see just how much progress we made this year and I love before and after pics.
