Well seeing nothing is happening on the adoption front I thought I would blog about Chris' bathroom. I painted it "Moroccan brown" and the trim is "polite white". When we have completed the bathroom I will post a pic for family that have never seen our home (in South Africa).
Chris still has to put molding around the ceiling (long story) and do something to the ceiling (long story). He also bought doors when we moved in the first year (3 years ago) and hasn't put them all up yet. It is a big job, as he has to shave them etc. Our house is old and not very symmetrical. So he has 4 doors left to put up out of the 2o something he bought. Yes I did say 20. Cost a small fortune for doors, but he wanted solid doors....We also replaced all the handles, now they are bronze.
I bought bronze handles for the cupboards in his bathroom and am still looking for lights to match. I looked at Lowe's and Menard's, our next stop is Home depot. So the painting part was easy now we just have to buy the cosmetic stuff so it will probably be a month before we post the picture.
I did paint the girl's bathroom last month. It looks much better. It is a "rose" color and white trim, white mirror and white vanity. I am still looking for pictures to put up on the wall. We also did the down stairs half bath last month (it really needed it). The wall paper came off and we painted it and put a new medicine cabinet and lights in that one. It looks so much better. It is a mustard color with accent of blue (we had to match the tile in the bathroom, the colors actually look really good together).
The only room that hasn't been updated/painted is the kitchen. I just don't know where to begin. It is fine, and functional but drab compared to the rest of the house. That might be my project next year (After redoing Caroline's room for our son and redoing the guest bedroom for Caroline). Next summer we will also be working on our landscaping a bit, especially in the front of our yard. I am thinking of planting some daisies and yellow and pink cone flowers. That's it for my rattling on.

It's fun to read about your redecorating... your half-bath sounds like CU colors! Shall I bring you a pennant to hang in there? :)
First have to learn how to blog, tried it without setting up an account but it didn't work!
Love your bathrooms - you've done a great job. How come you know how to put pictures up on your blog but you don't know how to send me pictures of the girls!!
What is your next project?
Love you. Mom
