Young House Love

So, I am at work. I am supposed to be thinking about work-related things: lesson plans, grading, discipline, blah blah blah.

BUT, All I can think about is decorating the house, set to become ours in 1 week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. That was a lot of exclamation marks on purpose, I am just plain excited. Anyway, I have been gathering inspiration from all sorts of places. Yesterday I watched my favorite show on HGTV, "Property Virgins," a show about first time home buyers, and this one couple toured a house where the entryway was this awesome shade of dark grey with white trim. I have been thinking about painting the living room/hall bathroom area dark grey for a while and that just cemented it for me.

Also, our cabinets are just plain boring. We want to paint them - well, I want to paint them. Here are the directions we will probably follow - from one of my new favorite blogs http://www.younghouselove.com/2008/11/how-to-paint-your-kitchen-cabinets/

Young House Love is just plain awesome. After settlement we will be taking tons of "before" pictures to share!
