MY NEW SPACE... PART ONE

I am really happy with the way both of my spaces are turning out. Mom and I have been down there every day this week, bringing in new things and fluffing what we have. James did a great job painting both spaces. I ended up choosing a Benjamin Moore color called Cloud White to paint both booths. I had Lowe's mix the color in the new Olympic One paint. Word of advice. Stick to what you know. I should have used Behr paint with primer but this was cheaper and new and I thought it would work the same. It took...no joking.....THREE gallons of paint to cover a 14x14 booth space. That is ridiculous. I was very disappointed in the coverage. It did fine on the peg board but not really well on the cinder blocks or the dry wall which were already previously painted cream. I wasn't even covering a dark color.
BUT when it was all said and done, i am very happy I painted the floor and very happy I painted the walls white. I am still looking for a rug to put down and my husband is going to help me hang burlap curtains and my sign this weekend.


I can't give you a full view because it's still so empty! I don't have a trailer and I have to rely on my mom's suburban to haul stuff down there right now. Birmingham friends if you know of anyone selling a Honda Odyssey 2006 or older for a great price, let me know....I'm in the market:)

Here is a couple of shots of the few things I have in there right now.  As you can see, I have no natural light and am under two bright florescent lights. I am still trying to figure out the right settings for my camera to get the best shots. Obviously this is not it!

I took a few shots of the space my mom and I share together. It looks better than it ever has after painting the BLAH peg board a bright, crisp, white. I'll share those tomorrow.
