consequently, me

We painted the study room a cream color like the base color shown on the book cover above, as well as painting the trim and doors black. Next step is to finish painting the rest of the house in the same color scheme, but I am shooting for a stencil job that mimics the tile pattern on the wall and floor on this cover as well. I think I'll add the stencil work to the family room, foyer, and a 3/4 of the way up the wall down the hallway. Yeah. That'll be awesome!

We have to lay carpet in the living and down the hallway and redo the tilework in the foyer and kitchen. Maybe a creamy colored carpet squares layed in a checkerboard fashion. I'm loving the carpet squares because of the easy of replace/relocating damaged squares and saving the rest of the carpet in the process. I've also seen some new large square vinyl tiles that replicate actual grouted terra cotta tiles that I like a lot. Hmmmm

THEN....
I'll set up a dog kennel for our pups, saving our yard some and allowing the kids to play out there without worry. Oh, don't worry, the pups will still get there time to use the yard too, but the kids haven't played in the backyard since we got our dogs because of the way they jump on them and all the poo laying about. So we need to get a little control back. I'll close in the back porch turning it into the sleeping porch. We'll add ceiling fans and a swinging bed like the one in the photo below.

Maybe we'll stick a treadmill out there too. I promise to use it! Cross my heart!
