It's the weekend, so that means we get to kick back and relax...err..ok, maybe not. Weekends mean working on the house. Started out in the kitchen. Let's do another BEFORE and AFTER. Here's where we started:
















And here's where we ended up:
















We tore down all the paneling and i built the enclosure for the recessed lighting. I installed the lights last sunday, and finished the box this weekend. I managed to wire everything without getting electrocuted, so that's a win for me. Ellie painted it after i finished building it. SO why am i wearing my bandana? Am i aspiring to be to be an 80's rock star? No. Have you ever tried to get white paint out of your hair???? Ugh. Forget it. I dealt with that on the first weekend of housework, never again. Fashion sense be damned, i'm not dealing with painted hair.


















After we finished the kitchen, it was on to the office. Apparently, Brownish Gold was a trendy color when this room was last painted. ..so we threw on some white primer, then a coat of off white. Much Better. We'll tidy things up tomorrow night. Of course, you'll never be able to see the walls in this room anyway... Remember all those autographed posters and CD's from my old apartment? Yeah...they're ALL going in here. I think i have about 5o things to hang in here. You won't even SEE the walls.

















Looks like the girls are enjoying our new backyard. we've got squirrels, crows and a famil of rabbits, so they've got plenty to look at!
