I am so excited to start to share some of this house with you all. You ahve been SO patient, kind, supportive and understanding, I think you SO much. I guess I didn't realize how MUCH work this move was going to be. I am apparently not as YOUNG as I THINK I am!!! But, the decorating, in some areas, has begun and I wanted to share. I LOOOOOVE our morning room. And I am so happy that the back of the house faces south because we get the sun streaming in all day almost. LOVE IT!!!  I have switched out the white candle for a pretty orange one now. I couldn't find it at firat:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_HTgPZ4VOsrghAh5gZ5qtiZPcxj8f6b-h233gkSmDIiBevQvNEuVlpWgNsIgfcOn3VfShWFu55-UX3qdLmWET4gpHfkKpsa5h5XGxKZGM1KLQykTaKiFam0aDAZUdAP-U1MBQUU5pfZu/s1600/Gettin+trees+and+some+Fall+on+bakers+rack+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_HTgPZ4VOsrghAh5gZ5qtiZPcxj8f6b-h233gkSmDIiBevQvNEuVlpWgNsIgfcOn3VfShWFu55-UX3qdLmWET4gpHfkKpsa5h5XGxKZGM1KLQykTaKiFam0aDAZUdAP-U1MBQUU5pfZu/s640/Gettin+trees+and+some+Fall+on+bakers+rack+009.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> This is a grapevine pumpkin that I decorated several years ago.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2s7H2JXhdDl5DbBMr02ixAdHew-yOzVEsz5DBgb0lvn3KiGHU0KXZ4OkKloqela5MeOqOx3qX0jwfCTlpAocv0ypPdPfTklMzLpbbmCtwaFPm0YhrdYszIYVffs6UE3V3EUGGS5tiRij/s1600/Gettin+trees+and+some+Fall+on+bakers+rack+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2s7H2JXhdDl5DbBMr02ixAdHew-yOzVEsz5DBgb0lvn3KiGHU0KXZ4OkKloqela5MeOqOx3qX0jwfCTlpAocv0ypPdPfTklMzLpbbmCtwaFPm0YhrdYszIYVffs6UE3V3EUGGS5tiRij/s640/Gettin+trees+and+some+Fall+on+bakers+rack+010.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I used some fall berry garlands on the top and bottom shelves.

It has been CAAAA RAZY moving. After being in the old house for 28 years, we sure accumulated alot of STUFF!

paint a rug party - week 3 reveal

Happy Paint a Rug Party Reveal Day! Did you get the day off work? Just you wait, next year it will be a national holiday.<br /><br />I've had three weeks to put this sucker together (catch up on <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/09/paint-rug-party-week-1.html" target="_blank">week 1</a> and <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/09/paint-rug-party-week-2.html" target="_blank">week 2</a> if you missed it) so let's see what we've got.<br /><br />First, to answer the question from last week. The votes were a lot tighter than I thought (thanks to everyone who shared their opinion), with Navy/White squeaking out a win. However, I forgot about one important voter - the hubs. He came home that night and said 'yeah, I don't want a pink rug.' I was so impressed that he actually read it, that I gave him the deciding vote. So Navy/White it is. (Don't worry, you'll be seeing the raspberry somewhere else soon)<br /><br />As I mentioned in week 1 I read thru a few tutorials and decided what I would need to make this happen. With the kids in bed and a nice cocktail in hand. I got started.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrlwZ2O2bMPau58Byoofoink5NyGjvGiV49CKENHdSh7wgExsx3Nw3B1UNO-6E3ytidsLsoVtTeRMjHoFxg8j19JqNrN94prBpnJMFe6URBmmHGKeBtAK4GLg7RxukgvNnsZckPPuIGUsB/s1600/PaintARugSupplies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrlwZ2O2bMPau58Byoofoink5NyGjvGiV49CKENHdSh7wgExsx3Nw3B1UNO-6E3ytidsLsoVtTeRMjHoFxg8j19JqNrN94prBpnJMFe6URBmmHGKeBtAK4GLg7RxukgvNnsZckPPuIGUsB/s640/PaintARugSupplies.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />The rug was brand new ($9 from HomeGoods) so no cleaning was needed. If you were doing this with an existing rug, I would make sure you vacuum the crap out of that sucker before painting.<br />The first coat of paint needs to be the color under the tape (remember that whole negative space thing) so the white paint went on first. I just used some Kilz (in white) I had on hand and mixed it with one bottle of fabric medium. But I didn't measure it out exactly. I guess I'm more of a chef than a baker. Anyone who watches Top Chef knows this difference.<br /><br />The first coat went on and I wasn't encouraged. The paint did not spread. At all. It basically just stays wherever you pour it. It took a lot of muscle to get that paint to spread at all. I tried both a brush and a roller and found that the brush is best to begin with to get in all the little crevasses. (with a sisal rug)  Then, finish off with the roller.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiKOXMiqkAE4Qh7eIwH8hyoQT4VJN_XUhqMWKeIFKbdmzJFNzQX2PuEFus2iqYiBDd6FeV8jf_MCHw6gVAnrEP0TY1jy-TMOnxGvgDRusOQDg3aiL5c5O3yVJWj-TmdqYdtBeEERhraqyJ/s1600/FirstCoatCloseUp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiKOXMiqkAE4Qh7eIwH8hyoQT4VJN_XUhqMWKeIFKbdmzJFNzQX2PuEFus2iqYiBDd6FeV8jf_MCHw6gVAnrEP0TY1jy-TMOnxGvgDRusOQDg3aiL5c5O3yVJWj-TmdqYdtBeEERhraqyJ/s640/FirstCoatCloseUp.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />THREE coats later (2 coats with a brush and 1 with a roller), here is where the night ended. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCSo9r_gMjdICF7iSHvXPq3FisoVxkrKvu7BcusdxEIU7AgH-TzUDFcGUblLTdL5xxVSJP5rAB6KNitqe_UDcceZsn6YHAfDTH7ZTh8PuFgqSBwuk1TXn4Uos99_JZ1Ygq7vZ5Yq5D0uY3/s1600/PaintARugFirstCoat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCSo9r_gMjdICF7iSHvXPq3FisoVxkrKvu7BcusdxEIU7AgH-TzUDFcGUblLTdL5xxVSJP5rAB6KNitqe_UDcceZsn6YHAfDTH7ZTh8PuFgqSBwuk1TXn4Uos99_JZ1Ygq7vZ5Yq5D0uY3/s640/PaintARugFirstCoat.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />With Step 1 complete, I let it dry overnight.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghPrhIteXGV7akdn7pIK00pfnz3hEhxKV-UB4f-h3rKrSkWMiKZYwPxDYOYJxq3Y9b_4-Eyt4oGB48QCrQS1cu1NScwDh_qsVo2XKpQDLwoqaOkhppYcOzbRGQQsvlbx_xdpK7g4tsWfXN/s1600/PaintARugDrying.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghPrhIteXGV7akdn7pIK00pfnz3hEhxKV-UB4f-h3rKrSkWMiKZYwPxDYOYJxq3Y9b_4-Eyt4oGB48QCrQS1cu1NScwDh_qsVo2XKpQDLwoqaOkhppYcOzbRGQQsvlbx_xdpK7g4tsWfXN/s400/PaintARugDrying.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />Next up.

But to my great pleasure, once I had the middle taped and knew that it was in the center of the rug, I realized I just needed to tape from that center outward in each section and they would all work out to be even.<br /><br /><br />So using my level as my spacer I taped out the first section.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgej0JDHAaacPsNFQ1pAkpMymeoK3gP58t0dRaQz5hB-icaN5NQYCXKXjOfAoOJ6urXHVehQcVHc4ItP7IF5E86ZZMoSKy44BAqe_M_O2MFZ81Y45cEWRKccxtpB10P9-6UpVk0H19ruOPh/s1600/PaintARugTapeOut2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgej0JDHAaacPsNFQ1pAkpMymeoK3gP58t0dRaQz5hB-icaN5NQYCXKXjOfAoOJ6urXHVehQcVHc4ItP7IF5E86ZZMoSKy44BAqe_M_O2MFZ81Y45cEWRKccxtpB10P9-6UpVk0H19ruOPh/s640/PaintARugTapeOut2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />It spaced out perfectly.

Hmm, I could have sworn the paint chip I gave to Home Depot was Navy. This looks awfully...royal.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFrQW9aQUv38Hr27JbnPn1zmoxWHf0c4O1jWjC8VgnkQSQafFQ-2fubOYOtIb2eYzgfs-FzLjHMfzIRmzbHZSJtHnUcc4jkSOSJiKZG7Sz2q7JbTt-v-bRIioSxtrV8eTKGoQuFJ_F-nN/s1600/PaintARugPaint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFrQW9aQUv38Hr27JbnPn1zmoxWHf0c4O1jWjC8VgnkQSQafFQ-2fubOYOtIb2eYzgfs-FzLjHMfzIRmzbHZSJtHnUcc4jkSOSJiKZG7Sz2q7JbTt-v-bRIioSxtrV8eTKGoQuFJ_F-nN/s400/PaintARugPaint.jpg" width="377" /></a></div><br />Worried about the color, I went ahead with the first coat. It covered only slightly better than the other paint, probably because there was already 3 coats of paint that had filled in some of the gaps in the rug. However, you still gotta put some muscle into it.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdZaUXdm8BaIQ7PZ8rKLOTYGnAIgxmSEIyWBiG0Wz4V3sFA2X7285xx1BjgUbXL_Fp7gLWZv9uueZvyRXC-PMgiW1sKCNb-VgHuSJKs0DYN69u2QH4nKkKM8lu3V9NB5bOlSEGCGXkdKzx/s1600/PaintARugSecondCoat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdZaUXdm8BaIQ7PZ8rKLOTYGnAIgxmSEIyWBiG0Wz4V3sFA2X7285xx1BjgUbXL_Fp7gLWZv9uueZvyRXC-PMgiW1sKCNb-VgHuSJKs0DYN69u2QH4nKkKM8lu3V9NB5bOlSEGCGXkdKzx/s400/PaintARugSecondCoat.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />After the first coat it still looked more royal than navy. I tried not to freak out and hoped it would get darker once it was dry.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-FDcumtI38KaA0L17Tb-kKdlJ8CYyBvWP3lhPtfe8ceysL1ffpcYbB31e9QAJT3txgNAogm0OW6DzChbchGQFzGxG2eI_ug54jO3SGrvwnH72xrI_b9k-PKHm6g6DUUAm7znC3B92ofKO/s1600/PaintARugBlue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-FDcumtI38KaA0L17Tb-kKdlJ8CYyBvWP3lhPtfe8ceysL1ffpcYbB31e9QAJT3txgNAogm0OW6DzChbchGQFzGxG2eI_ug54jO3SGrvwnH72xrI_b9k-PKHm6g6DUUAm7znC3B92ofKO/s400/PaintARugBlue.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />No dice. Not blue enough and not the color on the chip. Mistint. Not cool Home Depot. Not cool. Luckily my brilliant hubs suggested we add some left over Farrow&Ball black to darken it up a bit. Extra birthday present for you my dear. So I mixed in some black and arrived at a color I think I want to market. I will call it Midnight in St. Louis. It will sell like hot cakes.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmPeeHvCp87HMzZiN1hMtDCsvQ17FO1fzux9DEDsKjm16IKJSRGquAcS3rIqe_Xegz474HVPtCeElPkSoM3F1QHi5fz6FJDa0yYNdimJkI7GOidu5lJiobbKfzHibox8rWE2bY5n-rpRG/s1600/PaintARugDarkerBlue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmPeeHvCp87HMzZiN1hMtDCsvQ17FO1fzux9DEDsKjm16IKJSRGquAcS3rIqe_Xegz474HVPtCeElPkSoM3F1QHi5fz6FJDa0yYNdimJkI7GOidu5lJiobbKfzHibox8rWE2bY5n-rpRG/s400/PaintARugDarkerBlue.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Much better. Just like with the white, I went ahead and did three coats of the blue as well. I let it dry, again, over night. Then pulled off the tape to discover this.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj_gs504l3GuJCvsqHP1M3Oj3EQM4m_GWZFaAHTPqPR4ep51K2Xbl-mAgTWwnzdMjqOyu7qunlcSEZzTdwR2NwGUO8njgWz3LCi6JriWukMRWYR1eFLVT0ciBHAA7mkR5Ht7MQwX_gGwdV/s1600/PaintARugCloseUp2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj_gs504l3GuJCvsqHP1M3Oj3EQM4m_GWZFaAHTPqPR4ep51K2Xbl-mAgTWwnzdMjqOyu7qunlcSEZzTdwR2NwGUO8njgWz3LCi6JriWukMRWYR1eFLVT0ciBHAA7mkR5Ht7MQwX_gGwdV/s640/PaintARugCloseUp2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Wahoo! I was actually really impressed with how well the tape did to prevent bleed. There are a few spots that could use some touch ups, but I've decided I kind of like the imperfections.
