Jen- Cute piece. It looks great where you have it and with your other decor.
Jess- I just looked at the before and after pix of your kitchen. It looks great! Was Paul pleased with it? Did you ever get around to finishing the bench and posting pix? Sorry if I missed it- I was on vacation last week and catching up on threads has been hard.

Bethany- Your home is lovely. I just love all the furniture with rounded lines.
Doinkdom- Did you get your room rearranged? How did it turn out?
Yolanda- Did you get that smoke smell out of your cushions? How's the remodel going?

well, about that 
I have decided to delay the gratification and save for a new sofa and chair/s. I will be selling our current sofa and that jumbo recliner when I get closer to having the amount we need.
I actually drew out the new room - it's at home, but I'll bring it in tomorrow and see if I can post it.

Actually, as long as he can put his feet up - he said he'd be fine.

today we spent all day painting the kitchen (yes, still!!!). We took a break for a while when we ran out of white paint and had to get more. Today though we painted all day long and finally got enough coats on everything that it looks good!!! Still waiting on a good sunny day to finish up the doors (just a few left and I have to fix some scuffs on some since Paul has been moving them around over and over again). Then tomorrow we are going to tape off the trim and moldings and make sure there is a crisp line there on the edges. Then we are DONE!!!!! Well...for now. Next month when we get the tax rebate money we are going to hit the counter tops...get rid of the tiles that are there (six inch tiles that are cream colored) and put in some nicer ones that are grouted the RIGHT way. The stupid person (yes, I said STUPID person) that put these in put about 3/4-1 inch of grout between the tiles...and it is a pain to try to clean!!! Anyway, once we do that then we will be done with the kitchen....but the painting should be done tomorrow!!!! (hopefully!!)

Sarah, I'm confused about what you are painting! Your walls are chocolate and red and you just finished your cabinets... what are you painting?
we aren't painting anything red...the kitchen is white and kind of mocha colored....white for the cabinets, trim, and below the chair rail....mocha colored walls above the chair rail.

I guess I'm confused about the coke stuff and have more red in your kitchen than there actually is. I had in my mind that below chair rail was red and above mocha.

LOL...red is my accent color....throughout my whole house pretty much (minus the living room cause the couches we were given are a Christmas green color and using red in there makes it too Christmassy all year long, so instead I use greens in different shades in there...lime green right now cause it's bright and cheery for the dark green of the couches). Most of the accents in the kitchen when I am done are going to be black (like the stuff that hangs on the walls...the bottles of coke of course are black, etc)....with red thrown in in little splashes...pops mostly. Our coffee maker is red, I have some coca cola signs that are red...things like that. We are going to try to find a table to go in the kitchen and if we do then I will probably do something red there with it in some way.

I have a question.
We live in an apartment that has cement walls. Any suggestions on how to hang pictures and stuff on the cement walls. They are like cinder blocks.
Thanks in advance

My dad used this putty stuff when he hung stuff on cinder block walls. Not sure how much weight it could take, but he put up a few picture frames with it.
I think he got it at Lowe's or Home Depot.

I don't think that counts as decorating!
