Questions Answered Part 1
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Well, there are lots of questions to be answered from the giveaway and I am overwhelmed by how diverse they were! Seriously, you all are some interesting women...I will certainly try and answer them thoroughly and not bore you to death. But, if I do, my apologies in advance...or not.
I tried to divide them up into three sections: decor, family, and beauty.
Here we go! Today I am tackling the easy one: decor!
Question: What do you think of painted cabinets?
Exhibit A:
Answer: Well, our kitchen cabinets were very poorly handpainted and although I am glad they are not dark wood cabinets from the 60s, I wish the previous owners had been more careful when painting. You can't tell from pictures or really unless you are hypersensitive and a little OCD like myself. ANYWAYS, I think they are fine if done nicely. Personally, I will be refacing ours when we do our major kitchen overhaul before next summer (fingers crossed). I love the original wood inside, but they definitely need a face lift into this decade!
Question: What is your favorite color?
Answer: I love blues and greens on myself, but in my home I love reds, greens, and tans! I know, traditional...but I can't help it! It is what I grew up with and what makes me happy.
Exhibit B:
Finally, a little info from me! We are having a big party in September for my best friend Ryan who is getting married in October. Danny and I were talking about the size of the party and all the guests using one bathroom when he says, "Maybe you should go ahead and ask "Joe" (named changed...for fun) to come out and tell you prices for redoing the guest bathroom. I love my man...he knows me so well.
SO remember this bathroom?
We have to do this redo cheaply so all we are doing is putting down tile flooring (it is the last room with terrazzo left and LORD WILLING IT IS GOING TO GO!), getting a low flow toilet, replacing the vanity (not the sink top), and replacing the fixtures in the shower. I am so excited and have already hopped off to all my favorite spots to get prices! Of course, I will keep you updated along the way.
Tomorrow, I will conquer the very long and possibly boring post about myself!

Awww those a great! And kudos to having a hubs suggesting the reno... mine is scared I think. Blues and greens are probably my favorite too and I love painted cabinets when done right. Yours look great from the pictures though :)
I love red, greens and tans in the house, too! Traditional it may be, but cozy and inviting it really is! Earth tones are my favorite way to decorate. I love that plaid chair in your sitting room!
i want to know more about your best friend jessica. can you do a post on her? :)
I am so excited about your bathroom redo! So exciting! Can't wait to see the progress!
Red is my favorite color for home decorating! Your living room is cute, classic, and cozy! :)
Your home is really beautiful, and I love seeing pictures of it. I can't wait to see how your bathroom turns out. And I still totally love that pottery barn shower curtain!
