This week has been hectic, so I do not have much time to
write a blog. Luckily it is time for my
monthly feature, and I already know what needs to go into it. Here is a brief update on where things stand
with the front room. The comparison
pictures are below, August 1st on the left and September 1st
on the right.
We are almost done painting!
I feel like I owe my husband an apology.
I was getting so frustrated that he was not making faster progress. I still believe he has pushed work off for longer
than I would have preferred. Now that I
have done some painting though, I understand why it seems like he makes so
little progress each weekend that he does work on it (it is hard work!). We have put in two good weekends of working
on the room. The first weekend, we both
were painting. Together we completed all
the blue paint on the walls including all the quirky little corners and out of
the way places. We also did the ceilings
and most of the baseboard. The following
weekend, I completed the remainder of the baseboard and painted the front
door. We still need to paint the closet
door and put a second coat on the front door (it was a new door with raw primer
and it just does not look good with one coat of paint). Hopefully, I will be able to get this done
soon, but at least it does not keep me from ordering furniture and moving
forward on the office space.
September is all about furniture shopping. Prior to furniture, my husband needs to
finish replacing light switches and outlets.
I also need to clean the floors really well. We have some junk to move out of the room as
well (you will notice in the pictures that we have desks and computers in the
room, thanks to my husband throwing a LAN party while I was out of town). Once all that is done though, I think I am
free to start decorating. I am nervous
about purchasing furniture. I do not
trust my interior decorating instincts much, and I am a little afraid to spend
so much money on something that might not work out. I just have to do it though, because I
really, really want a space that is mine and I think it needs furniture.
I think that about covers everything. See you next week!
