  • Lime time

    We finished painting our kitchen! We left a couple inches unpainted near the ceiling for future crown molding. Besides the crown, all we have left to do is add the knobs to the cabinets and hang curtains & art. The color is Limonata from Lowe’s but the paint is Sherwin Williams. We’re going to put…

  • A collection of items completely unrelated to each other

    More work was done on my house yesterday. All sorts of men tramped through with their nail guns. Then my carpet was cleaned. I’m so tired of my house being a construction zone. In other news…on our way to IKEA Monday we saw an interesting site. A dump truck had run off the road and…

  • Limonata

    Painting the kitchen. Got bored with the family room color and started trimming out the breakfast area & kitchen. Now I have 2 ghetto painted rooms instead of 1 completed room! Doh!

  • No longer a blank canvas

    CSP & I have tired of living in our white house. Every wall and all the trim is painted the same builder white. So yesterday we went paint shopping. We picked out paint for all of the downstairs and the master bath. I still don’t know for sure what colors we’re going to do in…

  • Mirror, mirror

    CSP & FIL installed our new mirror & light fixture in our master bath. Yay! No more sheet mirror and Hollywood lights. And the best part about this mirror? It was free! My old boss gave it to me. Woohoo!

  • Snork

    Well, I spent the weekend trying to get over this nasty plague. I’m up to the sneezing, coughing, snorking phase now. Meanwhile, CSP spent the weekend installing all of the lighting fixtures we’ve had sitting in boxes for weeks. He put up ceiling fans in the family room, kitchen, screened in porch, & master bedroom;…

  • Working it

    A few of the drywall workers trying to fix our ceiling while covering everything we own with gritty, white dust.My house was a maze of plastic sheet walls all day. I was trapped in the kitchen for hours listening to the workers speak Spanish. Must learn Spanish.

  • Ok, ok I’ll tell you why he was sleeping in the closet

    This is why: that is my family room ceiling. Note the sexy builder’s choice light. Our master bedroom, dining room, and breakfast room ceilings look the same way. This is why we still have boxes all over the house that remain unpacked. Our lovely builder, CP Morgan left our house in a wreck and said…

  • Keeping Track

    At our old house we had a chalkboard wall with a calendar on it. I missed having a calendar in plain sight. I realized my Crayola glass markers worked on the fridge and I was back in business!

  • Invasion

    Ladybugs have landed on our house. A bajillion of them. They started coming here about a month ago and quite a few have moved in. I read that they are attracted to light colored houses and they’re just here for the winter so just leave them alone. That’s fine with me! I can use all…
