Ely Family: More remodeling, hoping to finish soon

The start of the second phase of the original remodel back 2 years ago. Yay! This is the master bedroom. I painted a couple of different colors to see which we should go with. Pale Honey won. In later pictures you will see the end result. I hope the pictures do it justice. I know that yellow is a very personal color and some love it and some hate it. I would not have gone with this color years ago but it has come to mean something to me in later years.

This is Pale Honey with the Tiffany Lamp in front of it. As with what usually happens with pictures and real life, this picture does not look as good as it does in real life, but it is close of course.

Here are my BASEBOARDS! At least some. And this is pale honey. I didn't realize that the picture turned out a little fuzzy , wish it was sharper. I will also take pictures of when the carpet gets laid and the furniture gets put back. This is November 10, 2014.

Here is the front entry way, again, BASEBOARDS, I LOVE YOU! Now, I can't wait til the crown molding comes in!!!! Oh, please, oh please, oh please . . .

I can't wait until the carpet is laid. It is Monday night. We just have to wait til Wednesday morning. We are so anxious for it. For one, our old carpet was WAY past it's prime, about 23 years old, ugh. And two we have no place to sit. So it will be a big wahoo when it comes in!

Here it is next to the brick and the big south windows. (smile)

Woa, this is Derek's room, hmm, it didn't look like this on my phone. Well, it is a bright and cheery blue. We need that and I love it! He wanted to have the Yankees colors in his room.

Just another view of the bright and cheery Yankees color for my bright and cheery son!

Just the other side of Derek's room. More smiles. Baseboards!

The new door

In my room. And, yes there are 2 different draperies in here. The one on the far left is the one that will stay in my room and the one on the right goes back in the dining room. I LOVE it with the yellow paint. Hannah said it looks very "happy", just what I need. It is interesting to look at the difference in lighting in the color of the wall in the photo above and below. They are both in the same room. I think the one on the top is the best of what it looks like in real life.

Just another view over by the door. I think it looks better in real life.

In Derek's happy room

So glad this is done. Wow. It is wonderful!

So this is with my bed in the room.

With the furniture, wow, not good focus! I'm going to add decorations soon.

Hmm, not sure which is better for focus.

Now comes pictures with decorations.

This is on the tallest dresser. I was going for candle holders (with of course candles but I bought these instead and put little electric tea candles in the bottom). I have 30 days to decide if I want to keep them. I think they are quite pretty though.

This is on the shorter dresser and I think it is stunning! I am really trying to create a . . . hmm not quite sure of the correct word, but place of peace and beauty in my room. Hope to do that over time.

This one I love as well. It is hard to see it properly in a photo. I can put different items in it as I want depending on the season. This is potpourri and smells fantastic. It is on the lower dresser, but I'm not sure if it should go on the lower or the taller dresser. You will see later with the photos coming up from a more distant view.

Not great focus again!

I am not sure of the taller dresser and the decorations . . . I'm also not sure of my phone camera. I think I need to go back to using my regular camera that takes better pictures. It is just so easy to send the pictures to myself by email.
