The excitement of Lydle coming to live with us for a while has really inspired us to tackle some projects we just keep setting aside. For instance, this week, we decided to pain "Lydia's" room!
Here are some before and afters - before is the gray and after is the sugar paper blue :) It's a pretty cool color! Even the name, you see, way back when, sugar used to be sold in blue paper sacks. Hence, in Italy this color will be forever known as Sugar Paper :)

All we have left now is to put up the molding around the top of the ceiling where the white and blue meet :) And, of course, paint the trim, but we figure we can do that together with Lydle when she comes ;)
Instead, today, I tackled our "plate project"! We had so many plates going around and there are just the two of us, so I saw this great plate display on a wall and decided it would be perfect for our unfinished kitchen walls. Here is the result - before and then after:

| And looking quite nice I must say :) |
Being in the hanging stuff on the walls mode, I took the opportunity to put up a few little knickknack shelves I'd painted and decorate them with teacups and saucers. They turned out quite nice too!
No more projects this weekend. I'm about to hit the laundry, and tomorrow, hopefully you'll get some footage of the world championships of fireworks!!!
