Market Ready

You saw the before and the almost after...here we are all moved in! The only rooms I am still working on are the boys rooms.  I love how I can showcase all our paintings and pictures from our travels.

Dining room complete with a bowl of mints and booklets for potential buyers. The paintings were painted from photos I took on a trip to Yangshou and the long pictures are a series of pictures from Hanoi that tell the history of Vietnam.  I found them for $1 and had them framed.

the rug in the hallway is like putting lipstick on a pig...but it's better than nothing

The kitchen

The living room...the painting above the mantle is from China and the family picture is of us at the Big Buddha in Hong Kong

The Bonus Room.  This room is a total mix of Adam, Zack and I, the furniture was a mix of our pre-married furniture and the toys are all Zack's...who would have thought our "young adult" furniture would almost work together...that doesn't mean the Futon will stay when we move and buy "grown-up" furniture.  The dragon wall hanging is for "protection"

Zack's bathroom...I found pictures and had my painter friend use them to make our bathroom art...I miss the art village most of all.  I had to post a picture of the whale soap dispenser...perfect.

I thought with the mustard color in the bedding I would have to use some sort of yellow wall paint , but I love how this turned out.  I am so glad the yellow scared me off while I was buying paint and I quick picked up the light gray.  Above our dresser is a Romeo & Juliet silhouette I fell in love with in Bali, and the wooden piece above the bed is from China.  I LOVE how this room looks...cool, romantic, soothing and fun.

As much as I hate still being in limbo...after 3 years I am used to it.  It is kind of nice to be ALMOST settled.  It is a great house...if it wasn't so far from Adam's work we might have decided to replace the carpet and stay a little longer.  Silly us, Zack and I like seeing Adam on weekdays.
