3-22-10

I don't have much in the way to post
about sales or deals this week. I really
don't plan to do any grocery shopping this
week and need a break from it. I'm pretty
much whipped with everything I have going
on at the moment.

Currently we are selling 2 vehicles and
that alone is enough stress for me.
Weeding out idiots from Craigslist
is time consuming.

Then I am revamping, cleaning, weeding out,
and moving furniture around in 2 bedrooms.

And lastly still planning out the living room
and how to decorate it.
I think I have finally found a paint color called
Colonial Yellow. Still have to go around and
paint all the walls a white primer before
doing the yellow. I have not purchased the yellow
paint yet so I could very easily change my mind
about that.

I did settle upon a fabric for the curtains
that I will be purchasing off Ebay.

Then would like to somewhere find a Tuscany
picture to hang over the couch.

Calgon take me away!!! AHHHHH.

So here are all the colors I came up with.
Now to put it altogether with painting,
making curtains, and bringing home the sofa.

This is the only photo I could
find that has a Colonial Yellow paint.
It's an old railway depot with a brighter
red roof. So I know the red sofa would
go with that color, lol.


The red sofa


And finally the fabric for my curtains.


Would love to find Tuscan pictures
like the ones below. That would have
to be a splurge though because they are
high quality art prints of paintings by artist Art Fronckowiak
who recently died just last year, May 2009.

I just think with the Tuscan theme and the colors
I am using this would work perfectly
to combine the yellows, reds & reddish oranges
and greens. For both prints would cost $26.99
including shipping.


And these things I already have

leftover paint from doing Jonathan's room.
I want to paint the wall in the dining
room underneath the chair rail this color.



And lastly for now because my dining room is part of my
living room, I have these chair pads to match.
