Hello! Happy Monday! I'm excited that Heather is joining me as a new co-host for hello Monday! So be sure to grab our new graphic, linkup your Monday post below. Any post goes =)
We had a super busy but GREAT weekend!
Friday after work we headed to Lowes and Home Depot to get stuff for a mini living room makeover.
We literally painted and re-did our living room less than a year ago. I have really really disliked our wall color since the second it went up on the walls. But I really thought it would grow on me. Well it never did. So I talked Brian into letting us re-do it =)
I never really took a great "before" picture. So this is the best you get.
I really didn't like the blue at all. Have I mentioned that before? ha!
My inspiration was all about Joanna Gaines.
Wouldn't that be great! haha =)
So anyway...Saturday morning Brian started before I was even out of bed. God love him!
I decided I really wanted shiplap above our fire place, and I was certain the paint color was going to be Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams. Well see to the left of the fire place? Brian painted that section agreeable gray and I hated it. So back to Lowes I went to exchange it. It wasn't the warm grey/beige I was expecting.
So I chose "Perfect Greige" by SW.
When I got home with it, Brian finished the ship lap and got started on the painting. And then he sent me off shopping with the girls =) It was way easier for him to paint without Alyx asking him every 2 seconds to help him =)

Alyx thought she should buy this microphone accessory to bring home =)
I got home and it was pretty much done. Yesterday morning when we got up Brian and both decided we really disliked the orange oak mantle we had. So he built a new one! He did really great with it I think!
And the finale picture...
It's such a change, and it's just exactly what I was looking for!! We've talked about white washing the bricks, but as of right now we're going to hold off on it. But I think it would look good =)
And last night I took the girls to see the new Beauty & The Beast movie.
Both girls loved it! And I did too!
It was so cute, and sooo well done. Emma Watson played an amazing Belle. If you haven't seen it...go!
I hope you all had a great weekend. Don't forget to link up with Heather and I below =)
Have a great Monday!!
