Our home-improvement (otherwise known as Please-Let’s-Finish-This-Damn-House-Before-Sophie-Is-Done-With-College) projects have been moving along really well the last two weeks! It’s amazing what we are able to get done when we aren’t running around town with weddings constantly!
Our hallway is painted – a really pretty butterscotch tone for what is known as “the photo wall”– (of course there are no photos yet although I have laid out the frames on the floor exactly how I want them!) Hey, don’t laugh. I’m going one step at a time!
– and the other walls are painted a tone called Bayport – oh so descriptive! It was supposed to be a tan color, but as the paint went on and dried, I realized it has some greenish undertones and while at first I though we would need to repaint, the color has really grown on me in the last week and is officially a keeper!
Our window wall above the to-be kitchen is now red - it-went-on-way-too-pink-and-scared-the-life-out-of-me-but-after-three-coats-dried-beautifully-red! I LOVE it!
And last but not least, our front and bedroom balcony railings were installed (but aren’t painted yet). So we’re definitely making the progress we had hoped for, but still have a long way to go!
In Sophie news, the weekend brought in the NEW: lots of practicing sitting up (propped, of course!)
. . . and along with the new, a little of the OLD: fan-watching.
And we have learned that Soph will definitely not be going the vegetarian route with her life. Meat and Guacamole all the way!
On the work front, we are in the process of redesigning The Dazzling Details’ website. Michelle, Pablo and I have worked lots of extra hours this week not only painting the house, but also designing our new website portfolio! Here’s a sneak peak at what the new homepage is going to look like (click on it to see it big and pretty!):
The new site should be up and running by the 1st of August! We’re really excited to have a “new look!” And as is the fashion now in the weddings world (and the rest of the world it seems), rather than an interactive gallery, we are going to be updating our new weddings on . . . yes, you guessed it, a blog! We are just starting out, but I've added the address to my "Pages of Interest", so if it is of interest to you, check back once in a while to see what kind of work we’re doing!
That’s all from hot and sweaty Mexico this weekend! We’ve got big plans for the week – more portfolio creating, more wall painting, and more formula-drinking, sitting-practicing and fan-watching!
