Tuesday Night Ramblings

I'm sitting here on the couch next to a mountain of clothing waiting for the monster of a washing machine to yell at me again. I should be folding, but I'm tired. If there's one thing I've learned about owning a house - it's a LOT of work...and this is still the fun stage.

I had great ambitions today - REALLY great ambitions today:
...there's a backside too.

Sometimes I think there just aren't enough hours in a day - other times I realize that I have a horrible sense of time and there's just NO way that I can paint a laundry room in 30 minutes. Apparently, I can't even paint it in an hour - apparently it took about 5ish hours. My feet our swollen, I'm covered in paint from head to toe, and I ran out of paint with a few necessary touch ups needed; but I bet you can't tell.

Ta Da!

Well, that's gonna be there forever

Spiderman's got nothin' on me! Booya.




I love that we're FINALLY getting to the point of putting up our decorative things.



We've been hard at work getting things painted - because a couple of days in a house painted white drove me nuts. I have NO idea how people tolerate that & sometimes I wish I had the ability to...I just need color. The hubster does too and that is just wonderful.

Here's our yellow kitchen - that is waiting for a table & chairs, bar stools, a new refrigerator, a new trash can (we have, we just have to re-mount it under the sink), the removal of the wonderful HD bucket, and some fall decorations ;)



The monster washing machine is calling me again, so I best be going before it breaks or ruins the new paint job in the laundry room.

Until next time,
S

I've been intending on posting pictures and updating on how the house is coming along - it's finally starting to come together (at least downstairs), but the computer has gone unpredictable on me - so I'm left to the phone which isn't much fun to blog on.

But - the downstairs is almost ALL painted - we have a grey living room and dibig room, a yellow kitchen, white trim, doors and ceilings and we've chosen a color for ge laundry room (an aqua type color!). All thats left for downstairs is to decide what color to paint the bathroom and then paint the bathroom and living room - and then the real decorating can start!

So here's to hoping the laptop cooperates tomorrow :D
