Progress Report

I have been a busy girl this week! Among other things, I worked on the girls' new room at the "new" house. It was a lot of fun to do, and overall I am happy with how it came out. I love the green color on the walls for sure. The artwork is not perfect but (as I always comfort myself by saying) neither is nature! It's perfectly imperfect!

And I'll just put furniture over the parts I don't like. ☺

The inspiration for the girls' room was this CD jacket. It's a great CD too!

The bathroom right now. Notice the lack of a commode. Luckily, my in laws house is very nearby. The good news is that all the plumbing is FINALLY done, the sub floor is in and the window is a goner. Why do so many houses have big windows right in the shower? Scary.

Hey look! That ghastly purple color is all GONE! A nice boring beige is in its place.

I cleaned out the linen closet today (and ripped out all the old contact paper). It's built around the chimney so it's very very deep. Not sure how to best utilize this space...?

Hey, where is my flat head screw driver?

Is this it?

No, no! That's Dad's. Where's MINE?

I have no idea why there is such tool confusion. Obviously, we are as organized as a navy ship. This is just one of the piles growing in various nooks around the house.

This was my idea: Put the tub right in the kitchen. I can leisurely soak while cooking dinner, or confine the children in it while I get stuff down. We should all put tubs in our kitchens.

My nephew doing is favorite new activity: dumpster diving. Ewww.

My mother in law painting a door

And last but certainly NOT least: perhaps the most vital part to a successful remodel: Franco's Pizza on speed dial.

Oh and completely unrelated but Maddie went to junior church for the first time last night. She had a great time. I'll post pictures soon. For now, I is too tired. Too tired to say "am" instead of "is."

Love,
