Getting Ready.....

Here's my living room these days!!  Its waiting for new hardwood flooring.  We had hoped for it to begin April 21, but its been pushed back to May 1.  Oh well, we are ready!!  We have moved our 'living room' to the lower level.  We also had the Salvation Army take away the big entertainment piece (actually 4 pieces!), the china hutch (now, where to put everything!!), and two couches that were downstairs.  And, as we continue to move stuff around, we keep finding more things that don't need to be here.  I'm guessing we will be calling the Salvation Army soon.

Of course, now that everything is out, I want to paint (Bob wants to shake his head).  I'm thinking grays, but can't decide.

So many choices!!  And, of course, if I paint the living room then I have to paint the entryway and the kitchen (don't tell Bob!).  Oh, and don't forget our bedroom because we are putting in new floor in there, also.  Makes me tired just thinking about it....

Speaking of painting, I have been working on the buffet that is in the entryway.  I used the color Graphite by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  Looks pretty good, if I do say so myself.  It used to be white.  I left the top and knobs alone.  The lower picture is the before.  Who knows where it will end up?  Perhaps it will be our TV cabinet in the living room.

Needless to say, there will be some new furniture in the living room, just don't know what yet.  Just waiting for those floors to get done....
