Projects, projects and a little fun

Between guest coming and going we have managed to get some more things done to the house. We Millars love projects. No joke. Drew loves painting (I know he's weird but handy) and I love refinishing furniture and coming up with more projects and roping Drew into them. So here's the latest.

Here's a before picture of the living room, tan/pinky paint on ceiling and top half of wall. Old looking paper, wall paper on the bottom and a big old, gold chandelier. This is the only picture I could find.

Before...



After...
It's amazing what a little paint and molding does. The room is finally coming together. I'll post more pictures once we get more things hung, the bookshelves organized and the funds come in for two more chairs:)

Guestroom/Annie's room...

Two weeks ago we found this bed yard selling for 10$. It didn't look like this, sorry no before pictures. It was brown, beat up and a cat got a hold of it. Have I mentioned I hate cats?After some paint and glaze...

I found this Duvet cover at Pottery Barn this weekend and couldn't pass it up. It's funky and I'm lovin birds right now but it doesn't quite match the purple walls like I'd hoped it would. I guess we'll have to paint this room too:)
Another good yard sale find, they were pinky red and beat up.
Me and Drew went to a firm outing last Friday night. They put us up in a hotel in Cinci and gave us box seat tickets to the reds v. cubs game. Even though Mac was convinced we were out dancing we had a lovely night out on town without kids.
