Construction Zone

Okay, I'm due to post some pictures of the updates we've done to the house so here goes.

First, the formal living room now has a new paint job (Manhattan Fog) and some new furniture. We are still in dire need of bookshelves, but for now, we've got piles of books on the floor. Here's Shamus watching over our house from his new favorite spot.

Here's a close up of the new paint and the crown molding and Steven and Joel installed (amazing job!). We haven't really hung anything on the walls yet, so hopefully I can do a bit of that this weekend.

Here's the sun room. We repainted the walls a light blue and did the floors in a dark chocolate brown. Joel picked out the nautical pillows for the couch and we're still searching for a rug. We also need some blinds.

Finally, here's a couple of nice pictures of the garden and the backyard. Hopefully our flowers will stick around for awhile despite the heat (and my lack of green thumbs). Lucy and Shamus stopped for a bit to smell (eat) the roses.
