Exciting Things to Come

I have so many exciting things to share in the upcoming weeks.   One project that I hope to be finishing up is our playroom.  I am searching for a before picture to share with you, but I will post a few in progress pictures later this week.  We have completely redone this room from ceiling to floors.  By “we”, I mean that I design and my loving husband does all the work.  From electric work to skim coating, he does it all!  I will, however, be doing the decorating and any projects that go along with that.  I am going with a Restoration Hardware sort of feel for it.  I want to create a calm atmosphere where they can sit and create, and also be able to do school work or read without the chaos that was found in our previous playroom.   It is important to me to have it organized, clean, and functional, yet still feel like it is a special place just for them.  I also want to make sure to have enough floor room to allow them to set up huge cities with their blocks and build train tracks across the room.   I have several ideas in my head and I can't wait to see it all come together.  I will be sharing some of them as I get to that stage.  We are very close to painting, which is the last step before the decorating begins.  I have decided on Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore.  It is a beautiful grey with a hint of beige.  I am keeping it warm and neutral to flow with the rest of the house.  Without giving too much away I will tell you some of the features will include poke-a-dots, bunting, subway art, and a special display for artwork.  It will have just the right amount of rustic and elegant elements.   EEEEKKK!!! I am just too excited.
