mississippi mud, grape leaves, and cherry cobbler

Well, here it is. The house we call home. In all it's bare beauty. Really, we love having a space of our own with plenty of room for storage and for the kids to run around.

We've made a few changes inside since moving in--all of them involving paint. First, we painted the dining room. . . grape leaves green. Then we moved on to the family room and painted it. . . mississippi mud. And today, I put the third coat of cherry cobbler on one of our kitchen walls (sadly, I still have another two coats to go until it looks right--ugh). I have three paint projects left to do--our living room (mississippi mud again) the connecting wall in the kitchen and family room (harvest brown) and Jack's room (liberty blue). I tried and tried to find swatches of the paint that I could post on the blog, but I failed. If you really want to see the actual colors you can check them out here. I'll finish up the kitchen this week and then take a few days off before starting the next project. Maybe by the time Thanksgiving rolls around I'll have all the painting done!!

Pictures coming soon. . . I just put a slide show together and it isn't working. I'll have to work out the kinks tomorrow and edit this post then to include the photos.

Okay, here they are!
