Ellie's room before...
Ellie decided her bedroom was too pink for her. She told me her favorite color was green and wanted more green in the room. Her old bedroom was SW Green Pear, and I thought SW Charming Pink would be a nice change. I took the green quilt from the foot of the bed and spread it out over the bed so you could see more of the green and then folded the pink comforter down at the end of the bed. She liked it, but still wanted more green. So I went went to Lowes and found a color that matched the quilt perfectly! It's called SW Heart of Palm. I got in in eggshell. Ellie and I enjoyed painting the wall together. It turned out really nice! Ellie loves it!!!
Matt and Amy, our new neighbors across the street, offered us their table. After they moved in, they realized their breakfast nook was too small for their old table. I like my black french table that I bought at a tent sale 10 years ago, but at times it felt like a black hole in my kitchen. Also, the finish was waring off and every time we'd sit something on it, it would leave a mark. I wanted the warmth of a wooden table in there, but didn't want to get rid of a perfectly good table. This one is rectangular instead of square and the girls are able to spread out their books when they do homework on it. Amy said, "Are you sure you want it, it's got nicks and dings and it's even colored on. I love it; I think it just adds to it's character. I'll offer my old table to my kids.
