newlyweds and paint...

i honestly believe that if you can stay married after painting any part of your house...you can survive anything! although my mom said, "try building a house." i know she's probably right!

the latest happenings in the parden household includes painting and redecorating our master bedroom. we painted our bedroom chocolate and our bathroom green. nicholas probly wanted to kill me before we even started painting because there are wayyyyy to many shades of green to choose from! it all turned out beautifully...i will try to get some pictures up soon! i am doing most of my decorating through pottery barn and flea markets.

i put up green drapes that match the bathroom walls perfectly. my bedding is white and cream with some green and brown accents. we want to use old lanterns and turn them into lamps to put on our nightstands...i would paint them cream. i have added other little touches here and there. there is still work to be done!

we had a yard sale a few weeks ago and it was a huge success! we have sold most of our stuff that we wanted to get rid of! i pretty much got rid of all the fake flowers that were in our house...thank goodness!! i am getting things done slowly but surely! i am having to learn that everything cant be done at once.

we absolutely LOVE our home! i always look forward to going home! we couldnt be more blessed!
