Yes, I am wearing a halter top and sweatpants...I got half-dressed this morning
Hopefully we can get it fixed today!
Here are some dining rooms and living rooms for inspiration:
So although we want to do some outdoor projects (make some bench seating and a table for our backyard), we are focusing on the inside until the mitre saw is fixed. Today we did our usual weekend Home Depot trip along with Benjamin Moore to get paint. We are painting the dining room Newburyport Blue (HC-155), which is a nice navy blue, and our adjoining living room the classic Cloud White. We are going to start painting next weekend as Matt has a day off on Friday. What we did do today was put up the pendant light in the dining room, which wasn't as daunting as a project as I thought, because the individual capiz shells were actually all hooked together for each piece. Between the two of us attaching them to the light, it only took about 10 minutes. The problem, as usual, was the actual hooking up of the light to the junction box. This one has one, unlike our bedroom light, but it didn't fit perfectly and hung a bit from the ceiling, so we headed to Home Depot. We got a piece we thought would work...but it didn't, so currently he is back there trying something else. We also got a longer garden hose, a spray nozzle, a watering can, and a little hand-held broom and dustpan that I needed for both inside and out. Hopefully it will work, but until then, here are some pictures of the progress! Original light that came with the house - ugh. All gone! 53 capiz shell lengths to attach Matt attaching some shells I forced him to take some pictures to PROVE that I actually do a lot of this house stuff too! Yes, I am wearing a halter top and sweatpants...I got half-dressed this morning Very pretty, and much more light than the last one Success...sort of... See the problem? Hopefully we can get it fixed today! Here are some dining rooms and living rooms for inspiration: Love the light chairs and dark table Great window treatments and sideboard I like the open hutch Very elegant Scary picture, but I like the colours Peter Fallico loves Cloud White too! Gotta have the navy accents to tie in the two rooms- love the vase and pillows
