The Color of Home - Living Room (plus demolition fun!)

Warm, natural colors and lots of light fill the main living space in our home.......



Toys included of course....




This great 60's "Danish Modern" couch we found at a local antique market! Lucky find.......all thats needed is a little reupholstering job to make it perfect.....I have time....I promise!




We used Olympic's Zero VOC line of paint.....no odor and amazing color selection!
(this advertisement not paid for by Olympic......but I wish it had been!)

aaand here is a sneak peek of some demolition starting at our house.....finally!!! This is just the beginning ;)



I was envious of all the fun hubby was having tearing up our detached "casita"



Kiddo desperately wanting to help too....



and without this special man (my very own daddio) much of this would not be possible! yay for family!



Whew....I get exhausted just watching them....

We are trying our best to find used construction materials over at our local ReStore and whenever we can we will donate our usable materials right back!

Its the little things

Like laundry.......and being able to do it at your own house :D

This week we finally got a (much coveted) front loader washer!



and we put the drying line up yesterday.....oh how I missed the peacefulness of hanging clean laundry on the line......




I especially am liking the purple we chose for the posts....did you notice?

Spring (and why I've been absent!)

Has it been a MONTH!!!! So much has happened in this beginning of Spring :) Heres a little snippit......and I promise to be better!

SNOW on the first day of spring :)



Trying our hands at natural egg dying





Our very OWN garden!!





with puddles and galoshes galore :D



A Teeny bit of crafting...



aaaaand.....my main preoccupation....



oh yeah.....thats a baby bump your lookin at!

The Color of Home - Kiddo's Room

Taken early this morning, while he was still in dreamland ;)

I never thought I would paint my boy's room blue.....but it matched his recycled denim quilt so well. I even made the quilt years before he was born (so I didn't know he would be a boy!). I pieced it together by hand while we lived in NYC (no machine then), with blue jeans collected from our stash and friends! ....aaaand I even took it while we traveled, that quilt has been to Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Mexico! toot-toot!

So blue it was!



The painting is a piece by his big cousin Patience when she was only 9 :) and the records painted one fall afternoon with his daddio!





It is quite a peaceful blue, don't you think?

Three - 30 Days of Beauty - Getting Outside!

Though the warm weather is not quite here yet......we have been pretending that it is!

Oh to have a nice walk outside, after being indoors all day :D



Basking in the sun..



Wondering....how much higher can I climb??



Taking notice (see the heart)



and a beautiful Sunset.....



and Moonrise all at the same time!



We are soooo ready for spring!!
