Gone Painting

February 28th, 2010

It must be the dreary Winter weather, and me being stuck indoors with three kiddos, lately the house has been driving me insane! Yesterday  I couldn’t take the faded yellow in the bathroom any one minute more, so I headed out for some awesome black paint. Oh yes, the bathroom is looking quite different, but I’m really liking it so far. I’ll post some pictures of my latest project soon.

12 Months 12 Projects

This is one thing that I hope to get done this year, well make that 12 things. My list of projects that I need to do around the house is getting a little overwhelming, so I decided to tackle the list one month at a time. I figure there are 12 months in the year, that is plenty of time for me to complete 12 projects. So here they are in random order:

  1. Finish painting Agnes’ Nursery
  2. Paint the Master Bedroom
  3. Paint the Upstairs Bathroom
  4. Paint the Boy’s Room
  5. Organize Agnes’ Nursery and Closet
  6. Organize the Boy’s Room and Closet
  7. Paint the Kitchen
  8. Clean out the Utility Room
  9. Deep clean all of the closets and cabinets throughout the house, and have a yard sale
  10. Re-arrange the Kitchen, and make room for a pantry
  11. Clean the back-yard, and organize all of the outside toys
  12. Enclose the side porch and make a new office for James

Surely I’ll be able to get a few of these done this year…

Here is my hubby putting the first coat of Teaberry Pink paint on the walls! I am so excited! He even let the boy’s help out a bit too.

Just in case you are wondering what he is painting over it is three shades of midnight blue. The previous owners of the house had a “space themed” bedroom for their sons, and now the walls are switching over to pretty pink. James has his work cut out for him, but I really appreciate all of his hard work on the nursery.

Nursery Progress

With a few months to go, the nursery is starting to come together. The rest of the house is a mess, but oh well, I’ll get to the rest of it eventually.This weekend I taped off the windows and trim in the nursery, and James is getting ready to paint. We also finally got the crib disassembled and out of the boy’s room. We have a lot to go through, and get organized too. I’ve been stockpiling diapers, and I’ve got a lot of tiny clothes to put away too… This is going to be a fun project, and I’ll show you some pictures as soon as those midnight blue walls are a pretty pink.
