Oh hell yes, it's the weekend!
I hope the week was a good one for you. I certainly can't complain about my week, other than the annoying part of it being dark when I get up, dark when I leave work, and cold as heck out - but other than that, it was a pretty sweet week.
I was lucky enough to have been asked to take clients to the Raptor's game on Wednesday evening. We watched from the Shaw Media executive box, so there was food and drinks and a great view of the game. Thursday we went for lunch to Olympic Pizza for a colleagues birthday- not sure if you've ever been to Olympic Pizza or not, but do me a favour and go....you won't be sorry.
Another great thing about this week is, the painting of the main floor was completed! As per my prior blog entries, the painting started on Monday and finished on Wednesday. The holes were patched, the trim painted, the gaps caulked, and the main walls and ceiling were painted. It was pretty cool to watch the transformation of the space go from white and bright red, to a calm, warm gray. It starting to look like a complete different house, and really making our mark here.
Like with any big renovation/decor update, you always have a vision of what it's going to look like, but when you see the end result, you never know if it's going to look the way you invisioned it, or turn out completely different. In our case, I wasn't really sure what it was going to look like, but we're REALLY happy with how the painting turned out and we're looking forward to adding little things here and there.
If you want to see the before pics again, go back a few blog posts and check them out there!
So without further ado, here are some pictures of what our main floor looks like, post new paint....

So there you have it! Now that the painting is done, we have a few more projects on the horizon, but now the fun part starts - the decor. Next up, new shades, home accessories, and over time....new rug, couch, and Taylor and I are going to be tackling the fireplace with a DIY refacing project. Stay tuned for more details about that.
