Fervent Brass: The Tour

We are finally all moved in.
Now we have a ton of painting and decorating to do.






Front
We are the last on the right.





Back





North Cass Community Garden - Across the street





The living room is our last huge project so this is the only picture I have for now.



We have lots of really old radiators.



The first bedroom will be "Fervent Brass." Such a great name.
It was between this and "Crisp Ginger Ale!"

Hint: this paint is absolutely, without a doubt a green under the Home Depot lights.





Sam getting to work.




Half way done.



Pretty pillows




Trim



Cute old doors.



Heaviest bed in the world.
Favorite memory of moving so far...
us getting this beast up the curved staircase.
Hilarious. Worth it.



Imagine this teal patterned curtain over a
strange and awkward nook/closet in the corner.

Must track down this fabric or something similar first.




Done!




Angela's room.
Adorable. Looks like a magazine.





Amber's room. AKA best before/after.
The paint is called "Surfs up!" Cute giraffe on top of a great Ikea shelf. This is the room with the beautiful wood floor that was covered by nasty light pink carpet (see below).

Trivia: 4 of the 5 girls in the house have been to South Africa.... separately. Weird.




The before : (



The kitchen.
We're keeping the avocado green walls!



Possibly one of my favorite parts of our place. The panty-coffee nook-calendar-chalkboard corner. We might try to find that chalk board paint to do that whole wall. That would be fun. The little cupboard has all of our mugs and a utensil drawer. Our kitchen cupboards have no drawer wide enough for a utensil organizer. Little quirks like that keep us creative at least.

13 Days

13 Days until the move. And I can't wait to get started!




It's hard to see in the picture but this room is shockingly dark for having so many windows. My goal will be to lighten it up a bit. Like this.I want to make those chartreuse curtains.


I also want to clean up the basement, which currently is the epitome of dark, musty, creepy old basement.

I like this picture. I could work there. The white really does brighten it up.




The first floor is this loooong, skinny space that goes back door, kitchen, dining room, living room, stairs to basement and upstairs and front entrance. It has a lot of exposed brick, a turret shaped corner, a million windows and a lot of potential. Someday it would be nice to break up the room a bit by creating 2-3 separate rooms set apart by large doorways. I love the house in the below pictures because you can always see into two or three different rooms at a time. And they have the wildest paint schemes.




See the DIY section for how to make this awesome headboard. I will post pictures of my future attempt at it.
