Happy Saturday! Well, this week we painted our dining room Kendall Charcoal, by Benjamin Moore. It’s always been one of my favorite colors (we painted our master bedroom in our last house this color and the office in Jason’s house as well as a few furniture pieces) and I am happy to have a room this color now in our new house!
January is always a bit of a strange month when it comes to decorating. Once all of the Christmas decor is put away it always feels a little bit barren but it’s a little too soon to add any spring or summer touches. I left our cozy knit and fur pillows and throws as well as our pom pom wreath for now seeing how they are nice additions in this winter weather, and then we added in some more cheerful touches to our mantel using some fresh seeded eucalyptus bouquets and some tulips from Trader Joe’s to help make it feel a little less gloomy even though it’s still quite cold and dreary outside.
Well, except for getting rid of the light in the center of the kitchen and adding some recessed lights I think we are finally done with our kitchen makeover! The finishing touches were the beautiful pendants from Birch Lane and the bar stools. When we first moved in I knew I wanted some pendants like this but because I had a free pair that had been passed down to me from my mom I went ahead and used those at first and they worked perfectly.
I’m sorry I went so long without posting. Along with a bunch of other things I had to get a new computer and it was quite a bit more of a headache than I anticipated getting all of my programs switched over and getting everything up and running again.
Well, we are back home after a nice little Christmas break and seeing how I am still busy getting the house back in order I figured I’d do a wrap up of some of our posts from 2014. (You can click on any of the links or photos to bring you to the actual posts which will contain all of the details).
We just wanted to pop in and wish you all a very Merry Christmas! And we thought we would share our 2014 Christmas Card.
Here is the front of this year’s card:
