Living room update

As you know, we have been trying to paint the walls of our home. We have the laundry room and dining room done. Now we are in the living room. Here are a couple of the before shots.

Here are a few shots of the walls after the paint. I thought it was going to be darker but I like it this color. What do you think?

The camera does not show how good the color really is. But is sure a lot better than what we had before.

As you can see with the lamp, our entertainment center is cream colored so it should stand out. The rest of the colors in the room will be greens, rust and brown.

This is what the entry way will have on it instead of the white tiles. It really looks good with the walls. Dennis had some input on this.Yesterday we finally ordered the carpet for the whole house. The carpet is a little darker than the walls. Now I have to get in gear and get the rest of the walls painted. As soon as this is all done, we get our furniture out of storage. When all done, we plan to have a open house party. Hope to have it done before the snow comes!

Dennis' Visit

My younger brother finally came for a visit. It was good to see him. Here are a few pictures of his visit.

On Saturday he arrives to KCI. We were looking for someone with a ball cap on, he always wears one. Said it was in his carry on. Boy, did he look good.

Because he is such a Chiefs fan, we had to go by Arrowhead. Got some great pictures around the stadium.

Sunday we went to Wichita to celebrate Owen's 7th birthday. Had a great time. Hard to believe he is that old.

Here is a picture of the Arnett family. The kids were really enjoying the day.

Dennis with his 2 favorite nieces, the only ones he has. Doesn't he look loved.

On the way home Dennis met Knute Rockne. We are such football fans.

On Monday we went to Prairie Band casino for free meals. Had a great time there. By the end of the night, only 1 person was down. Not to bad, 1 out of 5.

Here is a good shot of mother/son.

Dennis with Mom's car, "Lizzie". Checking the oil the before he leaves.

Needed the steering wheel cover to protect his hands from the hot Texas heat.

Said he needed his lucky rabbit's foot hanging from the mirror. Don't think it was very lucky for the rabbit.

And his Chief's bobble head for his antenna so he can find his car in the parking lot. Now the car looks like his. What a great visit we had. Looking forward to seeing him again.

Our Dining Room

RJ and I have been busy lately. We got our laundry room done and now we have our dining room finished. Here are a few of the finished pictures.

The wall color is the same as the laundry room. It really makes the wood trim stand out. And it also goes well with the film on our windows.

The cabinet to the right of the windows is new. It holds all of the canned goods. That was what we had on the metal shelves in front of the window. Now we can get to the windows. I think RJ and I may finally be getting the hang of this. The kitchen area will be done later. Now we have the living room walls primed and ready for paint in the morning. Will take pictures when it is done.
