Bedroom door makeover

You guys, it's October! Lily will be 3 months old this month and I start planning Gracie's 6th birthday. Unreal how fast time flies right by! Anyway, over the weekend I finally said to myself enough is enough and decided to paint my bedroom door. I had been thinking about painting it yellow for months and months but while I was pregnant I was so busy doing so many other things that I just never got to it. So, since Hubs was off work all weekend, which btw is very rare, I decided to get that mini project done!

Here it is before. It used to be painted in chalkboard paint but being that this door (like all my doors) have panels it really was pointless and a waste of paint to make it chalkboard. But of course I didn't think about that until after I painted it. Figures, right?



Annnd after! Yellow is bliss. :) I used the same yellow paint from Lily's nursery.



I took this wider shot on a different day then the first picture, so the lighting is different.



I'm much happier with it now and it really adds some more happy to my kitchen! :) My next project for the house is to refinish this chest/coffee table in my living room. I'm going to either do it black like the rest of the wood in my living room or a very dark wood color. I haven't decided yet. I'll be working on this project next week!



Other than that, I'll be back later this week with some product reviews from the Mama Vox Box I got from Influenster! Stay tuned! Happy October! :)

Starting to look like fall around here!

Alright, so it's only starting to look like fall inside of my house. Outside, it's still hitting the mid-90's. I love decorating for fall, it's probably my favorite holiday to decorate the house for. It's so simple and fun. I'd like to print out some cute things to put in frames but I've been slacking. Sooner or later. Hey, I have a almost 2 month old who likes to sleep during the day and stay up all night. BTW, it's 2:30am and I have a wide awake infant. Hoo-ray.

I mentioned in my last post that I moved around the living room. I actually decided to remove the dining room area for the time being and moved my table into the kitchen and eliminated the chalkboard table I made, just for now. You never know what mood I might be in, in the winter.

Fall dacor.
