Some small changes around the house

Our new faucet came today! We went with the Kohler “Stillness” widespread sink faucet. I really like the modern neck and the size is perfect for our low vintage vanity. We are still a few weeks from completion because Expo still has to come out to measure for the Onyx sink, but seeing the new faucet makes me smile! The list price is $375, but I bought it on eBay so it was only about $300 with shipping - hey, every little bit helps!

Our master bedroom is pretty small so we had a hard time deciding if we were going to use headboard or just use art to fill the space between the window and the bed. Luby brought home some random vintage pinball machine parts last month. We played with the idea of hanging them in the office, but the space above the bed seemed perfect. In case you don’t see it - these are the side panels of the pinball.

In kitchen news we finally picked a new wall color to replace the orange. We decided on “Volcanic Ash” by Olympic paints. I couldn’t find the color on-line to post, so I just took a picture of the paint sample against our white cabinets. I think it will help “cool” the kitchen and make it look a little more sophisticated. It is pretty dark, but since it is only going on one wall it should look nice and clean against the stainless and white. Cross your fingers for me - I should be painting this weekend!

Here is a picture of our new kitchen fixture! I bought it on Saturday at an estate sale. It will be up later this week, but I was so excited I took a picture of it on the floor…

In living rooms news there are two new tables. We replaced the glass circle table with a long and low surfboard style to have a little more space (it’s also way easier to keep clean). The end table has a nice “pocket” so it works well as a great catch all for Samson’s books and toys.
