It Is Done.

So sinister. Anywho, Jason and I  and his brother Jeremy finally finished up the drywall in the living room a little over a week ago. This is what I did while they worked. We had planned to have our party the next weekend and I was having panic attacks thinking it’d never be finished. There was an excessive amount of dust on the floor from the mud being sanded smooth and our furniture was strewn among different rooms. Even Jeremy didn’t really think we’d get it done on time. But that was our deal: no room, no party. Read more

I Did It!

Yes, people. After I ran out of paint (see last post) I came in, cleaned house, and showered. I waited for Jason to get home so he could go back to Lowe’s with me and get more spray paint. While we were there I decided I’d get a clear top coat for the white paint so it wouldn’t chip. Though, when I started to spray the clear coat I couldn’t tell how much was going on because, uh duh, it’s clear. But hopefully that mug worked because I am NOT unloading it and carrying that desk back outside for the third time.

But here it is… The after! Read more

Our Weekend

Happy Monday! We spent our weekend working on our house. I wish we owned it so we could invest in some new tile floors for the kitchen and bathrooms! That linoleum is naaaaasty.

So. The school had recently gotten rid of about five big teacher desks and they were sitting out by the bus barn behind our house. The desk I have can’t fit human legs under it, unless you’re a baby,  and I’d been looking for a desk/table for the sewing machine mom gave me. So we went out there Friday night to check out the desks. After some good measuring I picked one but we had to wait until Saturday morning to bring it in because it was SCALDING hot.

After basically dragging (read: I’m a weakling) that thing in the house (it fit through the door!) I got it all set up in the laundry room. A perfect fit! EVERYTHING from my desk and my little filing cabinet fit in there, plus some. Yay! But I knew I wanted to paint it and transform it from its school-y feel so I put about 5 (FIVE!) coats of white primer on the wooden top part. It looks SO much better. Read more
