Today we had a "work on the house" day. All day. It was a long, rewarding hard working day. We didn't make it to see The Social Network because we were so hard at work at home but we're glad we stayed home to do all this stuff. We unpacked the entire kitchen and painted 3 rooms. Photos below. By the time we're done we will have painted every single wall in this house. Anyone who knows us knows that until it's right we won't be happy so we'll just keep painting until it's all done. Primer is my new best friend. It just makes everything so shiny and new and clean. In a 1927 home that's a plus. I've been so excited about primer that

John swears he's going to wake up primed one day :)

The hallway which is now "linen" by Restoration Hardware. This photo looks yellow but actually it's a very light tan color, literally like a natural linen fabric. Light, earthy, neutral.

The dining room - it is primed and ready for paint.

We are deciding between linen or one shade lighter.

The upstairs bathroom is almost all white subway tile with black accents. It is primed and ready to be painted and I think we've decide to keep it white because it's such a small, cute

room, with a cool picture on the back wall that draws on the black and white.

Another photo of the upstairs bathroom - small and cute. It used to be toile which is a

orange-red color. It was great at the time. But I've moved on and my husband's

fantastic design taste has influenced me. When in doubt ask John. He knows design.
