A few weeks ago I decided to update my guest bedroom closet in preparation for my host daughter coming in just a few months. I was planning on completely renovating it, but Alex advised the shelves were perfectly fine and we should just keep it simple since we wanted a quick turn around.  All it took was a gallon of white paint (3 coats to be exact) to makeover this closet, and I also removed one of the shelves at the bottom to leave room for hanging longer clothes. Now on to the fun part of decorating it. I'll be frequenting Home Goods and Target looking out for storage and organization baskets/bins. Let me know if you see any cute ones that would look great in this closet!

Alex and I moved in to our first home a few months ago, and I want to share with you some of our progress.  We have decided to paint every inch of our house. I'm not joking when I say that. Every door, wall, cabinet and all the trim will be primed and painted.  Help us Jesus. 

Here is a look in to our living room.  Below is a break down of our paint choices.

Trim/Shelving: Sherwin-Williams Snow Bound

Walls: Sherwin-Williams Passive

Back of Shelving: Sherwin-Williams Meditative

The layout of the living room is still up for consideration, and we'd like to get a bigger couch, more chairs, contemporary light fixtures, a rug and a few other items.  But at this time it's not a priority, so we'll be content with what we have.   Alex finally talked me in to getting him a "man" chair, but thankfully it was free from a friend, so I gave in.  

I hope you enjoy our living room makeover. More to come of before & after projects!

P.S. - Please excuse the filthy spotted carpet.  Alex tracked in mud one day, and decided to do the chicken dance all over the carpet.  I followed behind with a special soap I found on pinterest, but it ended up leaving splotches every where I cleaned. Any tips on how to remove soap stains?!
