I love your intentional "pop of color" outfit and the pink is also a nice pop of color on you. The floor is gorgeous, and the house project sounds so neat. Suz on "WIW: sawdust" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sawdust#post-1446918 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 02:23:36 +0000 Suz 1446918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The house sounds amazing and the floors look great! Love you especially in that incredibly fun pink coat. That definitely qualifies as pop of colour.  Daria on "WIW: sawdust" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sawdust#post-1446908 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 02:11:00 +0000 Daria 1446908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ amiable - I agree with everybody that #4 is great. You look so put together. Will also look great with a cardi or blazer of the same color, instead of a coat. Floors are beautiful.

Colors are going to be a mix of pale neutrals for everything but the dark-ish floor (and probably dark-ish countertops too). Kitchen cabinets are creamy white - and there's going to be color-matched cabinets on one wall in living room too, for our homeschool stuff. Trim will be white, I think, and walls will be gray if I can figure out a gray that goes with cream cabinets and white trim.  It may have a smidge of blue in it to counteract the warmth of the cream - I'm not sure, but need to get sure soon, because we paint Saturday.  Floors are gray/brown mix - the wood you see in the pic in the living room, and a stone-look linoleum with nearly identical tones in kitchen and bathroom. The couch is blue (almost navy), and I'm thinking that blue will turn into the accent color - it's likely that everything will be neutrals (mix of warm and cool, and pale wherever practical) except for what's blue. Basement: All our bedrooms will be in the basement.  (It'll be cool in the summer, and warm in the winter due to the heated floor we installed).  Kids have each picked a color for their walls, and common space is, I hope, going to be home to a giant mural or two.  I haven't figured out what in the world to do the the master bedroom, except that I think I want teal as a color in it - maybe for the doors, or an accent wall? We're leaving a large attic unfinished - whew, no decor decisions to make there :) rachylou on "WIW: sawdust" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sawdust#post-1446784 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 22:25:04 +0000 rachylou 1446784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The pink and gingham is a big springtime wow :) Great floor. Do y'all have a decor scheme in mind yet? amiable on "WIW: sawdust" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sawdust#post-1446769 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 22:03:39 +0000 amiable 1446769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Nebraskim - That shirt is a sweater - Old Navy Cashmere that I picked up from Goodwill (so I'm sure it's not from a recent season).  I've been wearing it super often - it's soft and warm!. Nebraskim on "WIW: sawdust" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sawdust#post-1446766 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 21:59:21 +0000 Nebraskim 1446766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that knit shirt with the gray body and dark sleeves. It is a sweatshirt or sweater? Did you get it here? I've been eyeing a similar at Eddie Bauer. The floors in your house are divine. You guys are making such good progress on such a long-term project.

What nice outfits. The floor looks terrific too, what an achievement. amiable on "WIW: sawdust" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sawdust#post-1446748 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 21:41:31 +0000 amiable 1446748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm scarce on the forum these days, and that's likely to continue for a while. We're putting most of our energy into finishing our house so we can move in! I'm still mostly following <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s37/sh/80538119-0107-4402-9e39-dc63f70ba9cf/78192bed9b87bfee">Ingunn's February calendar</a>, but interpreting the themes rather loosely. I enjoy having the prompt to get me inspired to get dressed.  In March, I'm likely to repeat January's, or make another calendar for myself (unless you make a March one, Ingunn.  In that case, please share  ) Here's a few outfits that I managed to snap pics of. #1 skirted leggings and turtleneck with a long sweater. #2 statement shoes #3 gray-scale (I think it was on the day that "all black" was on the calendar, ha). #4 gingham, white and silver with what currently fit me like wide-leg jeans (they say "skinny straight", but look wide-leg to me).  And a pink coat. #5 Sunday's outfit without the coat. #6 Wore the same thing Saturday to a baby shower Yep - my favorites are on repeat, I guess :) #7 Pop of color (gray with a "pop" of teal) worn in the new house.  Floors are done!  This pic shows the pale maple of the second story floors #8 the living room floor - hickory, stained and finished.  We are going for the "old bar" type floor - trying to add character back in to the 1890's house we gutted. All feedback and suggestions welcome :)
