Update: Dining Room & Yard
My mom picked the exact colors as I did out of a pile of paint chips without prompting, so I think that is a sign. The space under the chair rail in the dining room and the living room will be blue, and the area above the chair rail will be the beigey color. It isn't so bright in person as it appears in these pictures. We are going to give this brand new paint a try, especially since Jack and I spend so much time in these rooms: FreshAire I will let you know if it is any good. It just started being sold April 1.
We have some daffodils about to bloom and some tulips on the way. One lonely hyacinth is already blooming.
Our new dining room curtains - they are semi-sheer and have super subtle stripe effect.
We now have lilacs, that eventually will hide our neighbor's cars. Right now they just look like sticks poking out of the ground though.
We have a trellis which makes our garage look much nicer from the kitchen table. I had just watered them which is why the garage looks like it is of varying colors. It is hard to see as the ground is black but the pots are black at the bottom. We thought having a black/white combination would extend the kitchen colors.

Dining Room & Yard
We have been very busy in house land. Our new dining room table, chairs and buffet arrived. It looks great and fits the space perfectly. We also got curtains for the room though they haven't been hung quite yet.
Now we just have to finalize paint colors and get to painting!
Steve has also put in some serious time in the backyard raking some icky dead stuff out and putting down some new seed. I also finally put together a trellis we bought last year to go against the part of the garage that faces our kitchen sliding doors. We will plant some sort of climbing plant.
Wednesday we are having some generous visitors (my mom and stepdad) visiting and they will plant some lilacs so as to block our view of our neighbors garage.
For posterity, we are hoping this is the worst the yard will ever look!
