Kwal's "concrete" is on all of our walls and and "fate" is the accent on our fireplace.
For the sake of comparison...before.
Our fireplace.
Another view. By the way that canvas we got from American Furniture Warehouse. It was created by a local artist and "COLORADO" is spelled out with the names of all of the fourteeners in the state of Colorado. Matt says it's his favorite part of our house! He's pretty easy to please.
I don't really love pictures because I think that the colors look better in person. It's probably just my photo-taking, but we really do like it! It looks so much better without the yellow tint on the walls! I think these are either over exposed or it's just so much light pouring in, but the walls look really light but the color is actually a cool tan. It always looks darker at night and lighter during the day...obviously
We also got some new couches for a killer deal. Everywhere else we looked at them they were 2-3 times the price! We got them from American Furniture Warehouse because they were discontinuing them. We weren't ready to spend a ton of money on really nice furniture, so this was a nice compromise.
We obviously have a lot more to do in terms of decorating, end tables, tv stand (same ones since college)...so don't judge! But it's feeling more and more like ours.
Kitchen and dining
And another before...
Nathan says hi :)
I like the color in the kitchen as well.
We changed out the hardware on the kitchen doors a few weeks ago too. There all satin nickel now. You can see the hardware and the paint color here.

More hardware...horizontal and vertical.
Nathan says hi again :) He's having a snack!
Not a lot to see in this room. Still Nathan's play area. The old couches are here for the moment. it will probably be awhile before we tackle this room.
Not the same view, but a before...
They did some work on our ceiling as well...fixing some issues from our first project, different company. They did a really great job!
Oh yeah...hand rail now white. Much better :)
Our bedroom is a light gray with the soffit accented a darker gray. We still have quite a bit of work to do in here, but you can't do everything at once!
Bedroom before...
Nathan likes the new furniture :) You are getting a "double wave" here.
He also approves of the paint colors...he did after all pick them out, right? :)
This makes me laugh...he loves to sit in the corners.
That's all folks! Got a hot date with my husband tonight so I need to get some things done! Plus, Nathan is now sitting on my lap...he could use some attention :)

Beautiful paint colors and furniture. You sure know how to decorate, just like your mom. Nathan is so cute sitting in the corner. Thanks for sharing your home and family with us. Have a great weekend, Matt, Sonya and Nathan. Love you all. Gram
Thanks Gram! Mom has more of a knack for it than I do...but I'm learning to trust my own instincts. Because in the end, I'm the one that has to like it! Thankfully, she has still been helpful from afar!
Very nice. Beautiful colors and accents. You are doing a great job decorating Sonya. Are your couches leather? They look very nice. That was a big post and I loved it. Thanks always for your efforts on our behalf.
The new paint colors, hardware and light fixtures and the couches really spruce up the place! It's amazing how different a room can look with a change of paint color. Love the little cutie sitting in the corner. Miss you all.
Thank you, Grandma J! I really appreciate it. Yes, the couches are leather...but not ALL leather. It's a durablend. Much more affordable that way! We were so glad they were on clearance making it VERY affordable. You're welcome for the update!
Mom W- Thanks...yes, paint does make a huge difference! We're really glad we did it.
