I Just Discovered Phlogging

I just discovered phlogging...don't know what that is? Blogging...from your phone! I know right?! genius!

This will help me keep you all updated on our house happenings.

Since my last post about a bajillion things have happened.

1. There is beadboard/wainscoting in the downstairs bathroom.

2. We have crown molding in the downstairs bathroom and living room! Holla! That's considered "high class" around here.

3. I painted Baby's ceiling and floor, but that's an entirely different post. If you follow me on instagram or happen to be my friend on the Facebook you have been privileged to receive a sneak peek.

4. I have become a hoarder. Kind of. I feel like it. Basically, I've discovered how much I love fixing furniture so I've been collecting it and making it cute again. Aaaand I started a blog for this separate adventure at beatnik-barn.blogspot.com ....as if I didn't have enough blogs already. It's totally new and this is the first time I've actually announced it. There are only three posts right now, but hey. If you like this blog chances are you will like this new one too.

Anyway, let's try a photo dump with this new phlogging thing shall we? Fair warning: I don't take very good pics with my phone.

I Love Rainbows.

It is one of the things I have in common with my eleven (almost 12!) year old sister. I don't know what that says about me. Whatever.

I also love everything shabby chic.

Rainbow love+shabby chic love=contradiction.

The one thing I know about shabby chic-ness, is that it mostly involves ruffles, lace, grouping stuffs, and WHITE. Lots and lots of whites.

But I love rainbows.

So trying to figure out how to decorate my house has been a little bit of a problem.

I want shabby chic,
but I also want colors.

I LOVE THE RAINBOW!

Its like this battle going on constantly in my head.

Our room is pretty much all white and I love it, but I wanted something more...

To satisfy my dueling personalities, I decided on white walls downstairs and...

colored ceilings!

It's like a rainbow in our house!

Yes, it is orange. "Ripe Tangerine" to be exact.

We painted the ceiling "Bright Sunshine".

I've got sunshiii-eee-ine!

That isn't all we've been doing...we also finished the floor in the second living room. Which means we can move everything out of living room number one (you will see pictures soooon!) so I can paint that ceiling and finish the floors. Stay tuned for an update on that in the next couple of days.
