Painting hardwood floors?

Typically I'm all about natural hardwood floors and cringe at the thought of painting them.
But this makes me completely reconsider.

It also makes me want to paint the inside of our cabinets.
Would you ever paint your hardwood floors?

Monday AM Office Inspiration....

A little office inspiration for your Monday morning :

Things I am loving:

• Built in bookcases
• Vibrant colors
• Office that is still a bedroom
• In-laid cork board
• Roman shades......I see a roman shade DIY project in the near future.

What would be in your ideal office?

GREIGE is the new pink....

If I had to pick another color I'm currently obsessed with (besides Navy) it would be greige.  Greige is what happens when grey and beige get together and make babies.  And they are quite lovely babies if I may say so myself.

It all started many manicures ago, when I fell for OPI's You Don't Know Jacques -

It's not beige, but its warm like beige.

It's not grey, but it's chic like grey.
Okay, well this one is grey, but I still love it.

 How do you feel about greige?  Have you found any particular greys/greiges that you love?

My Obsession with Navy Continues....

I'm kind of dying to paint our house Navy Blue.
Those of you who saw our wedding probably aren't surprised given my obsession with the color Navy.
Don't tell the boy yet - I'm not sure he'll be on board, but generally things this serious need to be carefully approached so he thinks it was his idea :)
 

What color is your house?  What color would you paint it if you had a choice?

A Summer Love...

Kind of completely in love with these.

They remind me of picking strawberries with my mom.

And would make a fabulous housewarming gift (hint hint).

Moving Help (the easy kind)

Things have been crazy lately!  #1 time suck = thinking about paint colors and online furniture shopping for the new house.  I started packing this weekend and have way more boxes than I thought I would considering how much I actually packed (not a lot).  I also disassembled the dining room table, took down all our artwork/pictures and spackled the walls where there were nail holes.  SO the walls were completely bare, the rug was rolled up and there were tons of boxes in the dining room and it took the boy 5 minutes to notice.  I'm pretty sure a blind person would have noticed sooner - he never ceases to amaze me.

Anyways, in preparation for our big move I worked on some 'We've Moved' announcements -

Which one would you choose?  Or which one would you rather receive?
