And today I thought I would share the other side of the room (except for the kitchen cabinets because I just finished painting them this weekend and haven't put all of the pulls/handles back on the cabinet doors yet).<br /><br />I also finally painted the inside of the pantry. I skipped over it when we first moved in but it felt so good to freshen it up in there. The walls were a scratched up mess. I would imagine it had been years and years since they had been painted. I actually have another fun little plan for in here that I am hoping to get to in the next few weeks. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_jlqE9tEhRWkytO57eNC3OgMyfMjWjE3XqktDiiqJAduQLKQyRMPRJjI8tZIeClUbxbemV3m-GQM8jJzZOgjvI8isZoS9Ktkn7xnmMwIV5yWw9TCPOLY6_AVxntYUhPnTL-zvc4rHD28R/s1600/uDSC_4347.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_jlqE9tEhRWkytO57eNC3OgMyfMjWjE3XqktDiiqJAduQLKQyRMPRJjI8tZIeClUbxbemV3m-GQM8jJzZOgjvI8isZoS9Ktkn7xnmMwIV5yWw9TCPOLY6_AVxntYUhPnTL-zvc4rHD28R/s1600/uDSC_4347.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />There's probably close to a foot to both the right and left side of the doors in the pantry so I keep some of the not as visually appealing items that we don't use on a day to day basis stored there. The girls practically never close these doors so it's nice having it look organized seeing how it's pretty much the first thing you see when you enter our house the back way which pretty much everyone does. And because we keep alot of our dishes stored in our sideboard and the rolling cart in our dining room we also keep most of our baking things and some of our other food items in our cupboards. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPjca6u0oRrsaHigWyMy-yAksmBvvFbZAeCKZAsAJv2WHS_fgXK4JhG3uP31PLrG1VzwscP0Gvoe0pFDcaedXNuilgesnWHgWNSjWIl9ouLsNScG9tDkoTmw3zWu5J7cic-MSbJxT5sg0V/s1600/uDSC_4394.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPjca6u0oRrsaHigWyMy-yAksmBvvFbZAeCKZAsAJv2WHS_fgXK4JhG3uP31PLrG1VzwscP0Gvoe0pFDcaedXNuilgesnWHgWNSjWIl9ouLsNScG9tDkoTmw3zWu5J7cic-MSbJxT5sg0V/s1600/uDSC_4394.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpr6KUDgZXq9nWQFXHupfJ-sLd1uMSWgvy6X9nTrMUwXf4wn-_wHd4R16neo4oqip6WreZdemf4QGJQhJGqSjgk2fTla7A933I0fo6hCY5eezO6EMcb-V1SdWUY7AQeYLZ4aZu7s0ChMCF/s1600/uDSC_4343.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpr6KUDgZXq9nWQFXHupfJ-sLd1uMSWgvy6X9nTrMUwXf4wn-_wHd4R16neo4oqip6WreZdemf4QGJQhJGqSjgk2fTla7A933I0fo6hCY5eezO6EMcb-V1SdWUY7AQeYLZ4aZu7s0ChMCF/s1600/uDSC_4343.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />I should have taken these photos AFTER a trip to the store.

Some Painting in the Family Room

Ha! As I mentioned earlier this week. I rather spontaneously decided to repaint all of the trim, doors, windows in our kitchen/family room and back hallway and then also painted the walls. I had been thinking about doing it for a while but figured I would wait until after Christmas but then before I knew it I had started and then I couldn't stop. I still need to do the cabinets in the kitchen but I can't decide whether or not to go with white or a gray similar to the fireplace. And I can't decided if I want to keep the fireplace this color or not either. I painted it Winter's Gate (I think that's what it was called) by Benjamin Moore. And for trim and doors I did the same as I did in the rest of the house, Simply White and Mopboard Black both in semi-gloss. And then I used Horizon for the walls.  Although I am not sure yet about what I am going to use on the cabinets and am not sure about the fireplace (I am pondering keeping it but also pondering painting it black, or painting it white and the bricks a charcoal color...decisions, decisions) I have to say I am so incredibly happy about the trim and the doors. I have absolutely loved having the black doors in the rest of our house and at Jason's and it feels nice to have everything all cohesive. And I know it's hard to tell in pictures but in real life the white trim helps the ceilings not feel quite as low and the room feel a bit more spacious and light. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7SXXjQRkmSl32GhZzVFd8qqNz1Zyd11OMwaK5iUVzdAtzsXiGGsgnYeCwp1JtbTTq0gm_ohQ4Bf_fsCTjX7DOj-IP7kKeNSPscLZ9GJffBTUeBDnA8ARyvh9AX40GrGgLBmpsm-BAvWK-/s1600/pDSC_4246.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7SXXjQRkmSl32GhZzVFd8qqNz1Zyd11OMwaK5iUVzdAtzsXiGGsgnYeCwp1JtbTTq0gm_ohQ4Bf_fsCTjX7DOj-IP7kKeNSPscLZ9GJffBTUeBDnA8ARyvh9AX40GrGgLBmpsm-BAvWK-/s1600/pDSC_4246.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">and yes, I've been playing around with the chairs... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr5zo2YoWgT8dp7DbT3EMmHSsSqFo-6F8QvjJIZ79ms1tBi1X6vOvoeA8E8X9aHdQNjk_lU5J51G0-j79TDzvZg-1vWjmc9Mmr-EKbTuaKuK2BZNH0BSsDxgBsWyxZ39NNyqCdvwVcdf6E/s1600/qDSC_4228_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr5zo2YoWgT8dp7DbT3EMmHSsSqFo-6F8QvjJIZ79ms1tBi1X6vOvoeA8E8X9aHdQNjk_lU5J51G0-j79TDzvZg-1vWjmc9Mmr-EKbTuaKuK2BZNH0BSsDxgBsWyxZ39NNyqCdvwVcdf6E/s1600/qDSC_4228_2.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And I know there's a million pictures of what it looked like with my first round of paint (which I did like!

This room doesn't get much natural light so it has to be a really sunny day to get any decent photos and it's been raining and overcast here the last several days.

I'd like to get two more of the oval chairs to use where the bench is and just move the bench somewhere else and I'm still pondering wallpaper or at least painting the walls a charcoal color but haven't gone ahead with that. And as I mentioned in the Rolling Cart post a couple of days ago I'd like to eventually find a hutch for in here and move the rolling cart up to my office.
