Au-gust I'll Make a Blog Post...

That was a bad, bad joke.  Sorry.

My parents were here for the first week of July and then Matt's parents were here for the second week, which means Matt and I had to actually do some of the things we'd been saying we would do.  However, I only took pictures at the Oregon coast.  The rest are on my phone and I'm too lazy to upload.


It was WINDY.  And smelled so salty fresh.







We finally got some chairs for our living room...they came precisely after all of our guests had left.  Hmph.



I was watching "Shawshank Redemption."



I also made some curtains for our patio door.  Ignore the mess that is my sewing corner.  I don't actually sew.


This is the first room either of us have painted IN OUR LIVES.  Still have lots of stuff to hang on the walls.  Color check: Sherwin Williams Baize Green


I painted the half bath one Sunday afternoon.  It's definitely more purple than it shows here.  I was going for a purple/gray but in natural light, it is a light light purple. Color Check: Sherwin Williams Destiny


I can grow the heck out of some house plants.  And dahlias apparently.  Maybe in October I'll post the pictures of taken of our yard/flowers/grass.  Obviously, I'm a blogging slacker.

  1. Your house!!! I love it! It inspires me to unpack my boxes and take pictures of mine! Almost.

    Good color choices. I picked a "greige" for my dining room. I'm at my parents while Alan works like a dog all week painting.

    God love him.

  2. That's cool, I like you anyway, despite the lack of posts. ;)

    Love the colors. And your chairs!! Where did you get your chairs from? I (semi)hunted for a chair for MONTHS before finding one. Mainly because I had a truck that week, went to Monroe, and said, "I WILL NOT COME BACK WITHOUT A CHAIR." Took me then 30 mins to find one. Who knew I could suddenly be so decisive?

  3. It looks like your house is coming along nicely! And for some reason I didn't realize that Oregon had beaches. Guess I thought the coastline looked all rocky and rugged like in Twilight :)
