Second Coat's The Best

Hooray! The painting party is officially OVER so... pack it up and grab your party favors, people! It's time to greet the daylight...

We did touch-ups and detailing in the loft today, and finished second coats in the master bedroom & bathroom. We did the bedroom in two colors: Limelight with an English Ivy accent wall.

We chose a lovely shade for our bathroom called Palm Frond! I love it! We got ourselves a bedroom in the Cotswolds, and a bathroom in Hawaii! 

While on a Lowes supply-run yesterday, David picked up some gorgeous classic light fixtures and matching cabinet door pulls for the bathroom. (The man has impeccable taste for a hetero! One of the many reasons I love him...)                

   

Lastly, with the drips left in the paint trays, we decided to embrace our inner adolescents and put some sappy private graffiti on our floorboards before we start laying the hardwood. This is right underneath where our bed will be. Awwww....... 

David goes back to work tomorrow - he'll be in Scotland for a week doing some North Sea training for his supercool new job. While he's away, I'll be finishing the paint touch-ups and detailing, opening the flooring boxes and sorting out the planks by size, and pulling up stray staples. I'll also be packing and bringing a bunch of our stuff over to the house to get a head start on the moving process. Our pneumatic nailer will be arriving any day now, and when David gets back, we'll have exactly two weeks to get the floors done and finish moving by mid-June. Till then, we'll be staying busy, staying positive, and dreaming of a dream house with actual dream floors...!
