Craziness at the O'Neill House

So in April my husband and I found out we were having a baby. Not that I don't need another thing on my plate. We also adopted another dog (actually he adopted us found him on our door step) that makes three dogs. But none the less I'm still going to school and working on my house.

We started a huge remodel because we found mold in our bathroom a few months after we moved in.
(I fell through the shower wall) So all my decorations went into my craft room and I open that door and I look like a hoarder.  My plans for decoration consist of:


  • Living room ~ Orange and green in various shades. Bright and cheery with super white walls. I also happen to have a large window that has an alcove so I was considering painting various pots and putting them there so my dog will stop making "window art" with her wet nose.
  • Library ~ Black square shelves complimented by some paintings I got while in Zambia. Room will be "world traveler" themed. Kyle and I have a collection of things from the places we have been over the years that will fit nicely. I got the largest painting for $20 at a market its about 3x2 feet. I haven't gotten a picture of it in its new frame. I am going to use the darker burnt orange with beige for that room.
  • My dining room and kitchen has been stripped of all masculinity and has been grace by Audrey Hepburn. (Its okay I'll make up for it, my poor husband)
    • The bedroom is decorated in all my old wedding stuff. Blue and champagne, Parisian. Worked out really well because I bought drape fabric for the table clothes at my wedding for the purpose of making them drapes for my bedroom.  


      • Kyle's office is hunting lodge. Not sure how I want that to look.
      • Guest bathroom is in John Wayne (told you I would make up for the dining room) old west theme. My poster from my meet and greet with Josh Turner will be going in there (have I mentioned huge Josh Turner fan). 
      • Master bath extends the blue theme from the bedroom. However it is dark blue and masculine. I'm looking to put very square modern fixtures in. Got my tile all picked out too. Also putting faux wood that extends into the bedroom. 
      • Baby's room. Here is the one I'm super excited about! If its a boy it will be Doctor Who themed, yes Doctor Who. If its a girl I'm going with Degas Ballerinas. I am going to have way too much fun!
       I have to go help Kyle now. In his boredom he has decided to make his own vanilla coffee syrup. It is not going as planned. Oh well.
