Floored

My attempt at being witty although I am seriously in shock over how an actual floor can make one feel so civilized again! We had been living on concrete for the past year because the carpet that was in here was even worse than the cement! Now, it's like a distant dream. We chose a lighter color for our bedroom hoping to complement the color scheme we established in the bathroom remodel. The color of the floor is called "Oyster" and it really did look like the color of an oyster shell. Most of our furniture is dark but the walls, as you have seen are shades of cream and beige. I was shocked when I saw how the light in the room and the color on the walls changed the floor and brought out more of the previously unnoticed browns. It was a delightful surprise because at the last minute, I second guessed our decision thinking that a grey floor would feel too cold. 

Anyway, I needn't have worried. I love it. Husband loves it. The kids loved sock skating on it last night. The dog isn't really sure. She doesn't like the clicking sound it makes under her toenails. (She can just get used it.)

{pretty, happy, funny, real}

~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~

The painted stripes on my bedroom walls. We talked about painting over them before doing the floor and decided that we liked them still so a touch up was all they needed. I was most happy not to have to paint the whole room. One wall is a solid color and we painted that wall plus the vaulted sections which was enough!

The state of my bedroom since Monday when we thought the installers were going to show up. Actually, we only took the drawers out of the dresser and the bedding off this morning since the installers were finally on their way, hence the dust that got drawn in instead of being wiped up. On the plus side, this is the least cluttered my room's been in a long time! It's now Thursday and the flooring is finally being installed!
