Yea! Den is Done!

Mark stayed up 'til 2am this past Friday to get the den painted. I pooped out around 10, so I really can't claim much of the hard work. It is Applesauce Cake just like our hallway. Looks great! It will be nice when we can get a futon and rug to complete the room.

Applesauce Cake

Mmmm, sounds delicious doesn't it? I wish I was pulling one out of my oven right about now, but I am not actually talking about something edible at the moment.



Applesauce Cake is now the color of our hall upstairs, and will hopefully soon be the color of our downstairs den and downstairs bathroom.

After............... I really like this color!! I think it goes quite well with the chocolate walls we have.

This could be a bad thing--all of our walls reminding me of foods I love. Come to think of it, Shiloh's walls look like a tasty strawberry milkshake!!

From Bare to Beautiful

If your garage looks anything like mine-plain, old, bare concrete with a few oil stains here and there, then you might want to consider installing garage flooring for an attractive, new look.

Diamond garage flooring is very popular and comes in some really snazzy colors and patterns, and for me, the fact that it contains no toxic chemicals or hazardous fumes is a huge plus!

Don't need new flooring? Well how about protecting the floor you already have by coating it with epoxy. Click link to go to site for detailed instructions on how to apply.

It is better to give than to receive, right? So, share your holiday cheer this season by giving gift certificates for all new garage flooring to all of your loved ones with cracked, stained, or bare cement garage floors.

My Walls Are Making Me Hungry

We finally started our first home improvement project. We have been carefully watching HGTV(the "G" does stand for garden, right?) for the past few months, and I think we are ready to tackle some decorating on our own. We'll see how it all comes together.

We started off with a Deep Mocha, but it looks more like chocolate fudge to me! I absolutely love the color, but all I can think about is chocolate. The color has me longing for cool, autumn weather (like we will get that here), book reading and hot cocoa.

Wow, look at how the bedroom furniture just pops off the walls now! Can't you just picture the young HG guy flipping his hands out and excitedly exclaiming that statement?!

All I have to say is, "These walls are delicious!" Oh, and I even painted, too. I have a blister on my hand to prove it. Sob, sob.
