Colors!

Saturday was a fun day, even for Jeff. We left Chester around 9:30 to meet the painter at the house, we got there to find all our kitchen cabinets are in and thank goodness we still like them. Next we headed to see Kim at White Street Paint we brought the computer so we could show her pictures of the house and our furniture to help us pick paint. The downstairs was easy, very neutral in the kitchen and family room kind of like coffee with cream and "fresh brew" for the 1/2 bath. The dining room is "dinner party" red and for now living room will remain white. Our master bedroom wasn't so easy so we left the store with many samples to try. We headed toward Salem to stop in Pottery Barn hoping they would have the coffee and end table at the store so we wouldn't have to pay for the shipping but no luck and couldn't get out of the mall fast enough. It was only noon at this point so why not continue the adventure. Quick lunch and 93N to Bedford and Martin's house of fabrics. What a fun store, we spent at least an hour looking for duvet covers, and window treatment fabric. Just as we were ready to leave on the clearance table we found the perfect drape material. Well I thought so, but it took the $2.79/yrd price to convince Jeff). Last stop, Homegoods, for one more bedroom piece. Many of you might think Jeff didn't enjoy himself but his feminine side came out and we had fun. I get to go back with Mom for the family room drapes and some stuff for her house on Friday, the whole store is 30% right now. By the time we got home dinner was just about ready. You'll have to come visit in a few months to see the final product!
