Our New Home - A Work In Progress

I decided to post some pictures of our new home. There are before and after pictures. Please remember that it is still a work in progress. I don't think any room is completely done yet.



Our entryway. I painted the walls gray and have put the first coat of white paint on the trim. I think the white trim looks very nice next to the gray walls. I need one more white wicker chair though.

Here is our living room before with mismatched couches and boxes everywhere (We arranged the boxes against the wall so not many of them were in the picture, but trust me they were stacked high.) I picked the wrong color of green paint for the wall. During the day time the paint matches my decorations, but at night it looks almost lime green. I am hoping to get it fixed this week.

Here is a picture of the roman shade that I made for my kitchen.

Sorry for the messy kitchen. I should have put the dishes away before I took the picture:)

I am planning on painting my chairs and table white so they will match. Our walls still look a little bare.

I decided to put my hope chest in this little nook. I am going to make a cushion for it and make it a cozy little sitting area. I think it will look really cute with some pretty pillows and a chandelier.

High School Reunion

I decorated for Hammond Baptist High School's 10 year reunion last Friday. I was hired to set up the pillars and ferns the rest of the decorating was done by someone else. The reunion was at the Centennial Park Clubhouse in Munster, IN.



Green and White Wedding

I have been so busy the past few weeks!!! My husband and I just bought a new home and have been spending every second packing, painting, and unpacking. Plus I decorated for a wedding one weekend and a high school reunion another weekend. I am glad I finally found a few free minutes to post some pictures to my blog.

First I will show you pictures from a wedding I decorated for 2 weeks ago. The colors were green and white. It was an outdoor ceremony at Centennial Park in Munster, IN and the reception was indoors at the Centennial Park Clubhouse.
