#ProjectLemonade Entryway



Hello Lovelies!  How is your week going so far?  I am very excited that it is almost the weekend!
 
Yesterday afternoon demo started on the flooring in the new(old) house and I snapped some pictures before they started.  As soon as the new flooring is installed, the kids and I can start moving.
  I.  Hate.  Moving.  (As I'm sure most do). 
 
But this time I plan to move differently.  I am going to decrapify in the process. 
Is that a word?  It is now. 
I am not allowing anything into the house that isn't useful or needed.  Because, honestly, I have boxes still unpacked from like three moves ago.  Do I really need whatever is in those boxes?  I think not.
 
Anywhoo, back to the entryway.  Unlike the huge house, I did not use a ton of color in the new(old) house.  I'm sure subliminally I chose a ton of white because it is clean.  Clean house.  Clean slate.
 
My thinking in doing so was that I could use it as a backdrop and add color through textiles and furniture and accessories.  That and the fact that we spent 15 days straight painting and I never want to pick up another paint brush again.  It's much easier to change a pillow than a wall, right?
 
I painted the house Behr's Parchment Paper.  Behr from The Home Depot is the best paint out there (well other than Farrow & Ball but that rings in at about $75 a gallon) by far and I won't paint with anything else.  And I've tried them all.  I did flat enamel on the walls and high gloss on the trim.
 
Welcome to #ProjectLemonade.  Come on in y'all.
 
 
Foyer




We are standing in the foyer directly in front of the doors.  To the right is the dining room, the left is the study/formal living room.  Down that long hall is the family room.  Kelly Wearstler's iconic Imperial Trellis wallpaper was installed prior to us moving.  The tenants did a bit of damage to it (bastards!) but I think that my wallpaper whisperer can fix it.

Dining room that I'll be using as my office/sewing room





I've got big plans for the tray ceiling up there, which begins with a gorgeous new chandelier.


So, what do you think about the entryway?  What do you think about white walls?  Do you decrapify when you move or do the traditional stuff dump?

Best,

Kimber
