Boys Rooms

Well, we are FINALLY doing it. We cleaned out the boys bedrooms this past weekend and all their "crap" is stacked up in the dining room. Willie came over last night and started painting. The boys picked out paint on Saturday. E picked lime green and K picked a very pretty blue/green color. Then they found a Sponge Bob border and begged me for that, so I got it.

We are painting both rooms with both colors. They are going to have a bedroom and a toy room and share both. The bedroom has green on 2 walls and blue on 2 walls. We are painting the wood trim white to match the rest of the house. The toy room has the bottom half of the walls blue and the top half green with the border running in the middle. K already had a Sponge Bob room, so we have 8x10 pictures of Sponge Bob that we will hang back up in there.

Willie got the green painted last night. He is coming over tonight to paint the blue and then he will probably finish up the trim on Thursday. Vaughn is coming on Friday to pull up the carpet and put down hardwood floors. I cannot wait to see what it will look like!

I am pretty sure I have found 2 twin beds and a dresser to go in there. We probably need to get 2 good-sized rugs, as well. I think I found a couple on line that are pretty kid-like.

So by next week, they should have a new, cool bedroom.

Remodeling

We have been remodeling the house in full force since the first of Jan. It is amazing what all we have done. We have half the house repainted, ripped out the carpets and put down wood floors, and we got new living and dining room furniture - and are working on something for the den.

This week, we will have the halls and kitchen painted, and maybe the full bath. We also are having a new toilet and sink put into the full bathroom. Yay!

Then we will only have the bedrooms and the sun room and we will have a completely "new" house. It is amazing!

The painting was finished in the den, dining and living rooms the week before. The wood floors were put down last week. He finished it at 8pm on Friday night so that the furniture for the dining and living rooms could be delivered on Saturday. Yay, despite the weather, they delivered it!!

It just looks stunning! It looks so new and not at all like some old house from 1938!

Now I have to go in and paint (white) all the trim in the hallways and back bathroom. Then the painter can come back and do the walls in both halls, the bathroom and the kitchen. I am also going to replace the toilet and sink in the back bathroom.

The front bath is another story. It is pink tile (floor and 2/3 of the walls) and I just want to get rid of that, so it will probably be a project for later on. But we are getting there.Then I want to tackle painting the boys room and their play room. Then the master bedroom and the sun room. It is a lot to do, but I hope that by this time next year, we are finished!

Home Remodeling

We have started our "project"! Thanks to the Home Depot cards I got for Christmas, we have started painting the house. The dining room is almost finished. It looks INCREDIBLE! We are doing all the woodwork white and the dining room is a merlot color. It is just beautiful! I think it will be done tonight and we are starting the living room too. Jenn is at home now painting the baseboards and her uncle is coming over after work to help her and to put a coat on the living room. He says he thinks it will only take one coat! Yay! (he is a professional painter). I am so excited about the way the house is looking. The floor people are supposed to call today with the estimate for putting down wood floors in the den, living and dining. Yay!
