updates and pics

Hello everyone, I pray all is well there has not ben much going on with the house still a couple of squeaky areas in the hardwood. P/M brought someone over to address this but soon after they left I noticed the squeaking again, :(  have been playing phone tag with the company due to my work schedule. hopefully we can get this settled this week since I will be home from work until Monday  YEAH!!!!!.Bannister was restained and dents in cabinets fixed on tuesday all turned out good. I have not decided on a formal dining room set yet, been looking but nothing has caught my eye yet.  So I decided before we moved into the new house I was going to step out of my boring decorating box, which consisted of all neutral beige type wall colors etc. Well let me tell you I have jumped out of the box and took off running LOL!!!!  with my paint color choices. I have chosen several darker than normal colors and I LOVE them (who would have thought). I could have went with a shade lighter in the family room but overall I still like the color. No tables,lamps or accessories in the family room yet,  besides the aqua pillows I ordered online from overstock. Could not get a good shot of the laundry room but I hope you can get and idea of the color it is called wilmington tan I love it. The color in the family room is elephant grey (sounds stinky)LOL...and the morning room/hang out room color  is called Artisan I am not sure who but I saw this color on someone else's blog in their morning room  and loved it Thanks ? :) I have been considering using this color in the powder room also.

Well enclosed are photos of my progress so far, I would love any suggestions I am having a really hard time choosing wall art.
