Christmas Blues

I recently repainted our Master Bath.  Something about it was just bugging me - it was plain jane, though very nice and spacious!!!  Scroll down to see the before pictures.  I forgot that new blogger actually posts pictures in the order you upload them!!!!!  I went out on a limb and chose this dark blue/green/gray color.  It actually doesn't have near the gray or green  I thought it would, but that's okay.  It's very glamorous and dramatic!!!!!  It's Benjamin Moore HC 158 newburg green.

I brought in this oriental runner from our upstairs hallway to bring out the blue in it!!!!
This little potty wash area is Wilson's faavorite part about this bathroom!  He uses it as a urinal.  The actual name of it has slipped my mind, but it's what you use to wash your bottom :) - Emma Claire gets a kick out of telling her friends that :)
I think the gorgeous tile is accented much more instead of just blending in!!!!
This little precious gem came out of our backyard.  I thought she was too pretty to get knocked over during kick ball games and would instead be put to better use holding mine and Emma Claire's jewelry!!!!
And last, this urn came out of the backyard too, and it was plain concrete which I primed and spray painted a metallic bronze!  I then cut some boxwood and filled her overflowing!!!!

And here are the before pictures!!!!! 

In other news, we are busy painting our ceilings - not the bead board ones, but all the flat ones - getting away from the stark white!  The kitchen and den are going just 50% of the wall color and the dining room is getting bronzed with Ralph Lauren Regent Metallic!!!!  I can't wait to show you!!!!

I'm also reading David Platt's, Radical, can I just tell you how much it's affecting me???  If all these projects weren't already underway, I probably wouldn't be doing them.  We are falling short, Christianity in America.  God's working on me and I am trying my best to listen and obey.  It's tough and not so fun, but I know it's for far better eternal rewards.  I challenge you to check it out!!!!

Merry Christmas!
