Bathroom Update

Not done yet, but at least you can tell the color. 2 more days to my first November get together...

Bathroom Update

I wanted to get the bathroom repaired before November, since we are having three different events at our house then. Otherwise, it would wait until Spring.

The project was supposed to be:
Remove wallpaper
Paint

The project turned into:
Remove wallpaper
Remove next layer of wallpaper
Remove drywall (It wasn't properly prepped and started falling apart in step 2)
Replace drywall
Mud and Tape
Sand
Patch walls
Sand
Patch walls (due to shrinkage)
Sand
Prime
Scrape ceiling
Patch ceiling
Patch walls (a few dings that weren't visible until primed)
Sand ceiling
Sand walls
Prime ceiling
Prime walls
Patch walls (ladder dings from priming ceiling and a few final tiny dings)
Sand walls
Prime those spots
Paint ceiling
Paint walls

So now we have two more coats to go on the wall (we're painting it a deep red), but it's almost done! A one day job is now on it's 4th week. Gotta love home improvement.

I'll show before and after pics this weekend

Crash Into Me

I just LOVE this photograph, which I just purchased. Yay!

I stumbled on Bueller Designs a while back and immediately subscribed to the RSS Feed. Every post is a bit of eye candy. So, with the announcement of her new site today, of course I had to peek.

I was immediately smitten with the photo titled "Crash Into Me". I have 2 possible locations for it, I'll try them both and see which I like best. One is a wall which will be painted Valspars "Posh Red" when we finish it this weekend, the other is my office whose paint name escapes me at the moment (it's a shade of muted green, I'll post it later).

I'm leaning towards a simple black square frame at the moment. I'll have to think about it a bit. I'm open to suggestions. When I get the photograph I'll take a quick snapshot with each wall to give you an idea.

*Update* The green color is Valspars "Irish Paddock"

Office Project

Tomorrow I'm planning on organizing and revamping my office/library. I'll take a few before and after pictures. I know I'm going to need some additional storage options. There are 2 file drawers, but no smaller drawers for misc stuff. So I'll improvise with containers around the house for now. However, I'm going to have to start a list of everything that will need their own place eventually.
I'd love to find something like the Bisley Drawers from The Container Store, but in colors that actually work in my office. I'll have to see what I can come up with.
