preparation : staycation

I am so excited for our "staycation" next week! Ben has the week off and the girls are going to a friends- we will just be here doing lots and lots of projects! Can't wait! 

I picked out some paint colors today... {Thanks to my lovely friend who watched the girlies so I could go and spend a few precious hours by myself... don't you just love those times?}

{Pale Cowslip 1}         {Spruce Frost}          {Gray Morning}

As of now- we'll see how they look on the walls! {And could I say I much prefer the last two color names to the first?}

On the week's agenda...

Re-painting the living room, hallway, dining room, and kitchen

Putting up paneling in our dining room 

Installing new light fixtures

Building a wall for a second bedroom/office

And if we have time...

Stenciling our kitchen floor {possibly not too far from this}

{DIY project from Under the Sycamore: Ashley Ann Photography}

And building a fabulous crafting desk for yours truly! {Quite like this}

{Pottery Barn} 

Oh PS I love that color on the walls and that's pretty much what I'm going for in the Living Room!
