The Living Room is back from the dead!

this weekend my soulmate came back from harrisburg to help me reinvent my living room.
this is what happened:

(paint colors- "harvest brown", "adriatic mist", and "off-white", all by behr.)
















currently in search of the perfect sofa cover. until then, this is the one that came on the couch when we got it off craigslist. not sure what colors we should be looking at. ideas??









next:

we'll be painting the ceiling "adriatic mist" like the top part of the wall, and the center piece off white, like the trim, to give the whole room a domed-ceiling feel. i think it'll be beautiful.



and as soon as our bank accounts have time to recover, we'll be tackling the "dining" room. right now it is glorified storage (at least it's organized!) but it needs to be painted and spruced up a bit.

domestikatie's kitchen cleans up well.

i re-did my entire kitchen!
i cleaned and organized and decluttered and totally overhauled everything.
i even painted. and finished the whole dang thing.

wanna see?
come on in!


the front door. and my aprons. the paint color is called "river's edge" by behr, with off-white trim.






lucy the cat likes to eat breakfast by the window. also, i bought way more flowers for the fire escape. and this morning, i sat out there and drank my coffee. and i loved it.


this was before the fellas installed MY NEW COUNTERTOP!


AND AFTER! omg.


so cute.


and sooo much more space!


and in case you've never seen my kitchen before this:



(those were taken before we had really "moved in", aka filled every surface with an unimaginable amount of clutter.)

i have more artwork to hang, and i'll post more pics as i go.

but there you have it- my new favorite room in the house.

next: my living room! (this weekend!!)
