I can't wait to get rid of the pink walls. This is a general layout of the bedroom. The bed will be swapped for a bigger one with nice linens. The dresser will be painted. I think in the end it will be really nice.
William and Camille ran a few errands after church. They've arrived back home and unfortunately William has a splitting headache.
"Honey, are you sure you don't want me to bring you a sandwich? Maybe it's a hunger headache." (Camille)
"No. I just need to rest and wait for the aspirin to kick in." (William)
"Well, I'm going to change and I'll be downstairs." (Camille)
"Hmmm, mmmm." (William)
The kitchen is in need of some serious work. The sink and stove will be revamped. The pink will be gone. I added a wall to separate the kitchen and the living room. My Mattel drop leaf table came in handy. It's perfect for the two of them and doesn't take up too much space.
In this picture I am showing the table with one leaf up.
Camille is contemplating what to do next. Since William will probably sleep for the next few hours, she decides to wait to start dinner. She heads to the living room to relax for a moment.
I'm anxious to get this room finished. It's going to look nice once I paint the walls, add accessories on the bookcase and throughout the room.
Hey, you could do an episode of "Love It or List It" or maybe "Property Brothers"!
ReplyDeletePhyllis - She needs Candace Olsen to come in and help. They have no intention on selling or moving, but she sure could use some help. I love both the shows you mentioned. Thanks for stopping by.
Deleteyass! Candice Olsen! Although that guy from color splash would makde good use of all the pink, lol!
DeleteTeva - Hello. Thanks for visiting my blog. You may be right about the Color Splash guy.
DeleteTeva - Hello. Thanks for visiting my blog. You may be right about the Color Splash guy.
DeleteWhen I see houses like this I think, "What a cool project it would be to fix this up," but I know years from now it would look the same if I had my hands on it, lol. But Team Vanessa will fix it!
ReplyDeleteMuff - Normally I'm the say way. These type projects rarely ever get done. But having the two houses and using them together has inspired me to move forward. I went to sleep looking at real Victorian houses trying to get inspired.
DeleteI bet with a little effort of yours that house we'll turn up even more beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteV. - I'm looking forward to it. I have my paint brushes all ready. Stay tuned.
DeleteHello from Spain, i like Williams and Camille. I hope Will happen soon William headache. I have this same house but i do not daré to change the color of the walls. I can not wait to see your changes. This room layout like. I try to copy off that idea. The kitchen also really like. I see you divided the space between the kitchen and living room. Good thinking, you are the best. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta - Thanks. I hope I can do this house justice. Camille will never forgive me if I screw it up.
DeleteIt looks great so far! I can't wait to see it once it's finished.
ReplyDeleteAlura - Still lots to go. First task....paint colors for the outside.
DeleteSorry William is out of sorts. Maybe it's the pink :-)! Can't wait to see your renovations.
ReplyDeletelimbe dolls - LOL! Yes, that Pepto Bismol pink can give anyone a headache.
DeleteA "hunger headache", LOL! I get plenty of those. Can't wait to see how you paint it! I've been debating on painting some doll furniture and can't wait to see how their house ends up.
ReplyDeleteVerona - Have some wings. LOL! I'm not the greatest when it comes to painting, only because I'm usually so impatient to see it finished. I'm going to try to take my time and do it right.
DeletePoor William! I know all that pink gives me a headache. LOL HGTV is a great source of decorating ideas. Perhaps the Kitchen Cousins could help you revamp that kitchen. LOL Can't wait to see the finished house. :-)
ReplyDeleteCindi - LOL. Yes sometimes that pink is a tad overpowering. I'm glad Mattel issued this house in other colors, too. The Kitchen Cousins would be great, too.
DeleteIt looks so nice already, so I can't wait to see how you will redecorate it!
ReplyDeleteLovin' the aqua fridge by the way! ;)
Dolly's World - Thanks. It can only get better from here. Even just making those pink walls, white, would be an improvement. I think the aqua fridge is staying, but who knows.
DeleteCant wait to see the finished house! Sure you do a great job! Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteFarbield - I think I need to start painting tonight. Once I get started it will be easy sailing.
DeleteI agree... once you kill the pink, and add your special touches, the Langford Victorian home is going to look fabulous!

DBG - What? You don't like the Pepto Bismol pink? LOL! Where's my paintbrush? I need to get this paint party started.
DeleteI love how you have it decorated, but I can't wait for the pink walls to be changed also ;-)
ReplyDeleteKenya - Thanks. It's unanimous! That pink has to go.
DeleteI love what you did to the house! It looks nice and when you are finished its gonna rock!!
ReplyDeletewilliam - My friend! I miss you terribly. I hope you have recovered from your accident. I'm sure it's been a long tough road. Camille is pushing me to get the house done quickly. She can be a little pushy.
DeleteI love the furniture in the bedroom, and the blue and white refrigerator and table kinda remind me of the 50s which isn't a bad thing, they are pretty darn adorable.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the house when it is finished. It is going to be adorable.
Tracey - Thanks. I'm waiting for Camille to pick out the fabric for her new bedding. Once that happens I can forged ahead. In the meantime, I guess I better get to painting those walls. They aren't going to paint themselves, unfortunately.
DeleteYou have decorated it nicely. I do love the color pink, but everything pink is over bearing. Lol! I look forward to seeing how you renovate it.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia Girl - I like the color pink, but that pink is so 'in your face' and makes it hard to make that house chic, which is Camille's style. I am going to start first with white on the inside then decide from there.
DeleteI look forward to reading more of Camille and William - post his headache ;-D
ReplyDeleteAlso looking forward to a reduction of the pink - I think that's a "hard candy pink" ... like Pepto and those Wintergreen mints. A softer, lighter pink would be less BLATT! in your face.
D7ana - Last I checked, William was feeling much better. The contractors they hired have already started painting. They started on the outside and they were surprised at how much paint it's going to take to cover all that pink. They were popping aspirin when I last saw them.
DeleteWhen you finish the house it will look fantastic, I can see the possibilities right now, and with your good taste and artist hands your job will for sure be superb! And yes... get rid of the pink walls!!
ReplyDeleteRossetti - I may opt for a nice wallpaper for the inside. There is heavy pink paper on the top floor and I'm not sure painting it would be a great idea. I am painting the outside. Can't wait for it to be done.
