Foyer Updates

I started the foyer update before Ellie's arrival, and was still working on it the day before she arrived.  It's been on hold for a while but I hope to get it finished before Thanksgiving. 
 
So here was the before, it just needed some freshening, but had good bones.
 
 
 
 
So as of date, the dining room and foyer has been replaced with tile, I replaced the curtains with frosted glass film, and added board and batten.
 
 
Most recently the board and batten, I bought pre cut poplar from Home Depot, so it was pretty fast to install. 
 
The key was a good nail gun an a level.

 
So before Elle, it just got one coat of paint and I put the room back together.  I would not be able stand to have people over with the foyer in a mess.
 
So here it is today...
 
While Ellie and I were catching up on some of our DVR'ed shows, I decided that I would tackle the project again.
 
 
In the end of July, I ordered some grass cloth wallpaper from Lowe's, well they emailed me after my order saying it was on back order until November.  I had totally forgot about it and in the mean time ordered a roll of Kenneth James grass cloth in red on eBay for 12 dollars.  Which is a pretty good deal considering its usually over $100.00 a roll.


 
Here is a close up of the Kenneth James red grass cloth.



So now I have to decide if I want to go with the tan or red wall paper, the red will match the dining room, but I'm wondering if the neutral color will be better.
 
So while I decide I'm going to finish calking and painting the board and batten.
 
I really like this red desk from Target, however I'm thinking it may be too wide for the spot but we'll just have to see.

Small recorded on a pc the times at which the ball and a particular part of of} the roulette wheel passed a hard and fast|a set} point on the body supporting the wheel. The roulette participant that's simply looking to have 카지노사이트 some fun on the on line casino does well with the Constant Bet technique. It is an easy technique and isn’t a great one to use if you’re trying to significantly improve the amount of cash you leave the on line casino with.
