More projects........

I just ordered this Shower curtain for my downstairs bathroom. I love the toile bird print. The problem is I have never ever liked what I have done in this bathroom. Believe me I think I have redone this room at least 10 times. Alot has to do with the linoleum, yuck, yes, I picked it out! Alot more has to do with the laminate ivory cabinets with oak trim! Double yuck and yes I picked those out too! In my defense, I was a young married 20 year old who was building her house, who didn't even know what her style was yet. Let me just say now 26 years later neither the flooring or the cabinets are my style........then or now!!LOL! So in addition to the new curtain I may have to be brave and attempt to paint the flooring and the cabinets, until I can afford what I want, which means demolish the whole bath, knock out a wall and start from scratch. Anyway, I think this may be affordable in the mean time, and I like it, it is definately my style!
I also ordered this for the guest room downstairs. Love the aqua!
Love toile, but want to do something different than
the traditional red or black.
So what do you think of this?
Not sure if it is brown or black with the aqua, but I would like either one. Seth and Melanie or my parents stay in this room when they come and it is still stuck
in it's former Liberty Center Tigers glory (black and ivory), minus all the orange accents from trophies, awards and posters. Time for a change. Now that Seth is married I feel it is okay to change it. My goal is to have these rooms both complete before Bekah's Graduation in May. Now speaking of projects...her Graduation is a biggie, another post for another day.
Blessings,

Are you my long lost sister???? LOL!!! I actually had that shower curtain on my closet doors and just sold them to my friend who really wanted them because it didn't match my decor anymore. Anyway it is a beautiful shower curtain, it is brown and it looks great with the robins egg blue paint color!!! We are definitely getting snowed in, aren't we?

Hugs,
LeAnn:)

That is too funny! If you liked the curtain I'm sure I will too! It took forever to get home today!
I'll be glad when the other 3 are home safely. I was hoping to get with you next week but the shop is getting booked I even added a night. I have a feeling my Saturday people will cancel tomorrow and I'll be squeezing them in next week. What does the
26th or 27th look like for you?That week is looking pretty open for me.
stay warm,
Leigh Ann

I wish we would get some snow. We don't get snow here but once every ten years or so. I would like just enough to show the kids how to make a snowman if I remember how.
I love that toile. I think it is a classic design. Can't wait to see the finished look. Blessings

That is too funny~I was just checking out this bedspread a few days ago too~I have this green carpet in our bedroom that is going to be hard to match~ Tim liked the color when we got our house and then we found out he was color blind on greens! Imagine this~I was asking him about the green wallpaper that used to be in our kitchen. Now I know better!
I want to strip wallpaper and paint our bedroom this summer. I have paint samples tucked around the door frames right now.
Did you check our the Nester's sisters site where she painted her kitchen cabinets black?
