That’s how it goes… right?(Guess that will only make sense if you read my last post)
I know I will probably get some odd searches for that.

No dilly-dallying
I am jumping right in!
If you read my last post then you

And this is how it looks right now.
(Feb 2012)
I worked up the nerve and just
WENT FOR IT.
I love the color.
It’s so soothing and feels so fresh!
I find it funny that the deeper, darker color looks a zillion-gazillion times better then the lighter color.
It pulls the entire living/dining room together.
I am so beyond happy with it.
Plus, painting the red, glossy brick
a creamy, matte white
was the best thing I could have done!
I am so glad Mr. Fox lets me do just about anything I want.
As long as it’s not pink polka dots in the bedroom, he is pretty cool with it.
finally got a proper home too.
Don’t Mind This Little Detail…
I ordered some amazing marble today.
I fell in love with it.
… and the price too!
It wasn’t all bad though…
Thanks For The Memories Mr. Mantel!
