Progress & plans

It has been a week and a half since we moved in, and things are coming along here on Lemon Grove. Here is some room-by-room progress.

Kids' room
I was thrilled to come home on moving day to see our friends had put all the beds together and arranged the furniture! Everything fits nicely. I unpacked this room first and was glad to have all the closet space.

Plans for this room:
curtains - I've been looking for white curtain panels (or fabric) with large navy polka dots but might buy some plain white panels and do the dots myself
closet curtains - white Ikea panels

Master bedroom
Everything fits in here too! Yay! There's obviously still some unpacking to do but not much.

Plans for this room:
finish unpacking
change the curtains and closet curtains some day

Master bathroom
It's still the mint-chocolate-chip green I painted it 10 years ago. :)

Plans for this room:

texture the walls

paint the same grey color as the kids' room (Porpoise by Behr)

Guest/kids' bathroom

This room is now painted the same greenish-blueish color (April Mist) as the master bedroom.

Plans for this room:

Paint the vanity - white

Anthropologie knobs on vanity doors

New sink faucet

Mirror

Turn light fixture around? Or get a new one.

Shower curtain - something coral colored, inspired by these pictures:

  

Put fabric inside the door of the small cabinet

Kitchen

Everything's put away!

Plans for this room:

curtains eventually (the old red/green ones are still there)

Annnnnnd, the living room

I saved the worst for last. :) Furniture is generally in the right place, but not much is unpacked. Oh!--but I did paint the coffee table, which used to be Mama and Daddy's years ago and which I'd been using outside at our old house for the kids' art.

Plans for this room:

couch - maybe a medium-toned grey? either a small sectional or a couch and an additional chair

curtains

new media console - something that covers all the stuff up and can store DVDs and games

rug

lighting - I've been eyeing a cute lampshade at Target to go on that grey lamp...

Dining area

I guess the dining area is also tied for last. :) But I wanted to show this because it shows some of the yard too. We did a whole bunch of work back there, and Jon fixed the sprinkler system (!!!) and seeded with grass. Within a couple of weeks, it should be looking much better back there.

Plans for this room:

curtains (thank you, Mama!)

paint the dining table and chairs - I have grey for the chairs and white for the table. I'm doubting my choice of white for the table because--hello--we have three children. We'll see!
