Monday I got the small hallways off the kitchen painted (the walls and ceiling final coats). The trim still needs paint but the walls are finished and look much better matching the kitchen now! Tuesday night I finished installing all the outlets (including cable/electrical ones) in the livingroom, diningroom and front hallway. Then Ryan helped …
Oh Sunday – such a ‘lazy’ day 🙂 We went out to breakfast per usual but this time with the whole gang. Alex and Ryan got their haircut after breakfast and then home for some play time with the cousins. At naptime Ryan’s parents headed home with the girls and I started hanging lights. I …
It was a Williams’ family weekend! Ryan’s parents brought my nieces out for the weekend to entertain Alex and we got plenty of painting done while the kids were happily playing together! Added bonus, we got extra family time in! Friday night everyone showed up in time for dinner, so we ate and played and …
It’s crunch time, I don’t want to be painting the week before the party (the smell of new paint can linger), so the last painting will be at latest Monday night (if we need to finish something up from the weekend). So that means this week is crunch time painting wise and next week I’ll …
I took the night off of work last night and after Alex went to bed, and after dinner I got some painting done! I got 2 more sides of the livingroom trim painting done (the archway wall and the knee walls as well as the window on the front wall). So the livingroom just has …

Last weekend I took Friday off of work (kind of, I still came home to work all evening but the intention was there and I had the *DAY off) 🙂 My friend Sarah recently just bought a new house and had a few projects she wanted to do so I went down there to help …

Let’s start with the Diningroom! Our contractor has finished up the beams/boxes for the cofferred ceiling and they …
