What day is it?


On Monday we closed on our new house!
Here is the view from our new balcony.

Then on Tuesday we accepted an offer on our old house.  In all of that excitement, I forgot about everything!  At the end of February I looked ahead and made a mental note that I had guest designers for most of March, but I didn’t remember to touch base or firm up those plans.  I am so sorry for neglecting Tiny Tuesday this week!  I will take a look at what can be done.
Here is a photo of our new kitchen.  It is the "before".
It is still too early for an "after" shot.  I do have during though.  All the walls and ceilings on the main floor are a very dark gold.  So far we have gotten a good start on the primer.  I think we are going to change it out to a nice shade of beige toned grey called balboa mist.  I have many paint chips to play with and spent too many hours over spring break studying different color combinations.

Congratulations! I’m so glad your house-shifting is moving so quickly.

We can always add another later, if it can’t be done this week, and no one will be worse for the wait! I just made my owl today, and I questioned if I would survive the attempt! The directions were great, but I couldn’t get my mind wrapped around which fabric to place where.

Happy to hear all seems to be sorting itself out for you and wonderfully so! Don't worry about Tiny Tuesday. We'll be just fine. Life happens and we all understand perfectly. Congratulations!

Congratulations! An awesome view. Hope there will be a great sewing room also.

Sea views? Wow! I have views above tree tops because we’re at the top of a hill. Our old view was of a stairwell!

Whew! So glad you were missing in action for a good reason. We can manage without one TT so don't beat yourself up. That kitchen definitely didn't look like it lived on a Florida beach! And I thought I had beautiful views of a tiny lake from my deck ...

My dogs would love that island. They aren't technically allowed in the kitchen, but they love to hover and watch in case gravity makes dog food out of people food.

CONGRATULATIONS - may the sale/closing of your old house go smoothly.

Congratulations! With a view like that I would feel like I was on vacation all the time.

Wait, what? You closed on Monday and by Thursday you'd put primer on the kitchen walls. Congratulations on the new house and hope the sale of the old house goes smoothly. I haven't even started the tiny Tuesday blocks and at this point I may just have to watch from the sidelines.

Congratulations! You two sure look happy (and what a cute couple!) in the balcony picture. You know color, so I trust that your “afters” will be stunning! So happy for you... xo

I would be in heaven with that water view from the balcony! Love the kitchen! Are you remodeling the new home before moving in?

Congratulations! You know once I found your blog, I fell in love with it and your creative process. Now I need your advice if I may. I must do my house renovations and change windows, 4 doors and corridor floor. But I have no money for that. My partner advised me to register for online games and see how many casinos in canada will help me to win cash for my dream. He said he had won a smartphone so can I. What do you think of this idea?

I always sincerely rejoice when I look at happy people and now I am also happy to meet every new day. But a month ago I was living in a nightmare and could not overcome the severe stress that I received as a result of a nervous shock. Only thanks to best cbd oil uk I was able to restore my peace of mind.
