It's amazing what a little color can do to a room!

This corner of the main floor has always been awkward because of a beam on the roof about 4 ft from the wall that separates it from the rest of the 'living room' area. It's always been intended as a table area but most tables are too big, and since we're not much for eating at the table anyway we thought a bar/breakfast nook would be far more useful.


Next we're going to paint the remaining walls a coordinating color and make the hallway (out of sight in these shots) into an art wall of sorts. We have paintings and pictures on every wall except the one I want as an art wall it seems. -_-


The chandelier is absolutely a favorite in the room now! I love the bling!! And it's nice mood lighting to sip gin & tonics.


Even my laptop fits. Just. But it fits!! So I figure this will be the new home for my lovely little macbook cause it's out of Phoenix' reach.

Next I need to get some pictures printed and put up to help settle the bold pattern. I'm thinking I should keep the pictures to black & whites since there is already so much color on this particular wall.

But here is to the small victories and a weekend of hard work. Now I have to take the kid to the park to let him blow off some steam after being cooped up in the house while we worked all weekend. :)
