house love

kid #1 walking around... a little bit nervous with the traffic on the road and proximity to the house. new boundaries starting soon!

here's a picture of the exterior of our new house. we are going to start stripping the wallpaper this weekend. my mother-in-law is an interior designer and has access to a steamer through her work so she'll be hooking us up real nice this weekend. say some prayers for a swift removal.

i know you're envious of that hot wallpaper that is even covering the switch plates...


also- any ideas for colors that go well with dark crown molding? not going to go with a dark blue this time around b/c i think i would want to sleep ALL the time if it was that dark in our house.

Ah, so this is what a Woodby house looks like. :)I love it! It looks pretty cheery, and like it gets a lot of light in the day?

I can't help with colors, b/c I have no clue. Is that a skylight in the bottom pic? We have two in our house, an it helps give so much light.

Can't wait to see the finished product! Good luck with the wallpaper!

no, it's not a skylight in the bottom picture, but we do have a couple! i'm looking forward to the light that they bring. super excited.

i'm hoping my mother-in-law will throw out some good color ideas to us this weekend so we can discuss. she's been painting her home with some nice colors lately and i think she's got a pretty good eye. :)
