Walking in a winter wonder land...
Literally. I arrived here in Boston this morning from Las Vegas to a light snow fall. It is absolutely beautiful! I miss the snow living in Las Vegas. Fortunately for me, it snows a fair amount here. This is probably the fifth or sixth snow fall of the winter so far. I love it; however, I am headed to warmer climes later today -- San Juan. I have a short layover there and return to Boston tomorrow night, hopefully in time to catch a flight home to Vegas.
Beth and I spent this past weekend painting the entire downstairs of our house. What a project! We are happy with the end results, for the most part. We painted the living room area a medium beige called Wheatfield (Behr paint) and the kitchen a muddy green called Ocean Olive or something like that. It is really a pretty color, and it contrasts well with our light colored cabinets and white appliances. We painted our entertainment nitch what we thought was going to be a deep cranberry color, but turned out to be more like an eggplant. We really like the color, but it doesn't match our new curtains like we thought it would. So we went to Home Depot last night and picked out more colors to try and match, and we plan on repainting it this week. It is a fairly small space and shouldn't take us more than two hours to do, so it's not that big of a deal. Otherwise we think it looks great! By the way Jenn, we finally ditched that damned entertainment center! We plan on buying another one as soon as the paint is dry.
We purchased some new framed art work to go in the living room from Z Gallerie, a great store for the home. We also bought our curtains there. They have a lot of Pottery Barn-esque things at non-Pottery Barn prices. Our curtain panels we bought are taffeta-like (made of polyester instead of silk) but cost $26 each as opposed to Pottery Barn's real deal for $100 each. Tough decision. The framed art is also nicely priced. We bought three pieces... two we brought home and the other one had to be ordered. We can't wait to get it all together. Now we are anxious to start painting upstairs! Boy are we cruisin'!
We might as well call the house the Inn of Las Vegas since we have several guests coming to town this month. Dan and Rene will be here over the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, as well as Brad and Kanako (although they are staying at Green Valley Ranch Station). My parents will hopefully be able to make it down the weekend after. They are both anxious to come down to Vegas, but working out the work schedule for me and them can often times be impossible. We'll have to see how it goes.
