Living room re-do

Ok finally the living room re-do :) I didn't think to take befores but I took these to use on the Bear paint website. See the brass pole? That's where I hang the laundry in the winter. Oh yeah see our booth.

Now the afters but please do look to close the place is a mess.

This one is from the kitchen

From the kitchen again but now I'm standing by the front door.

From the bedroom doors.

From the bathroom door.

From the back windows by the wood stove.

Same corner just a different angle. See our bedroom doors????

A picture of the book shelves that won't flip for some odd reason.

So that's it I told you it was small and it really needs to be painted. Sorry the pictures are so dark :) . This works for
me at least for now lol. I'm not sure how else to rearrange it with out losing stuff that we use. Now we have to paint lol. I like painting but getting to the ceilings is going to be fun:) Ok I'm done for now. Next up ........Christmas. Til next time have a great day!!!!!!

I'm so lonely lol

Not really lol Hubby is out with friends and the rug rats are in school so I am sitting here basking in the quiet lol . Don't get me wrong I love the whole lot of them but it's nice to have the house all to myself. And what am I doing with all of this alone time you ask ...... cleaning lol lol. Things have gotten a bit mess and with spring right around the corner ( please please oh pretty please) it's time to throw the spring cleaning in to high gear . The metal cabinet is stripped , sanded and ready for paint( yeah it needs to be painted) but alas it's still to cold to paint it . I'm putting that and Bear's closet on hold for a couple of weeks. I'm still going to re arrange Bears room this weekend. This way when I do get the painting done I can get to the closet. The cabinet/wall unit thingy that I was putting together for our room has hit a couple of snags I'm just not happy with it. The idea is good but I'm having a hard time getting what I want. So back to the drawing board. We need something to house a bunch of stuff , so some of the storage has to be closed. Maybe I'll build something and use the cabinet doors. I just don't know .


The dreaded FLU has hit the old homestead. I still feel like some one stuffed cotton candy up my nose but atleast the sore throat stopped. I've only got a little crafting done, painted one cross, pulled out the wood burning pen and used it on another one. They both need some more work but I'm happy with them. I started the blanket for my friend and thats about it lol.



So that's it for now I'm off to clean lol lol .Til next time. Have a great day

Goin on's

Lot's of stuff going on around here lately. We celebrated Buddy's 15 th birthday yesterday. Boy do I feel old. Bad enough we're teaching Sissy to drive :0 now Buddy hits the big 15 . So we all got together and eat tons of food and just hung out . An awesome time was had by all. We survived the crazy weather. We've had a good 15 inches dumped on us in the last week or so. Hubby really hates snow lol and freezing rain oh yeah and sleet he really hates sleet. He keeps muttering about getting a flamethrower lol .

I've been working on the metal cabinet and it's slow going . The stripper is causing me to have cough up a lung so..... Hubby asked me where the heat gun was. Hell if I know could be anywhere considering that we've been tearing stuff apart and re organizing .Stuff like this always happens to us you know what I mean ... we need a chalk gun but we can't find it (or if we do find it it's broken lol ) so we go get another one and well I'll be damned there are 10 of them sitting right there lol . So with all of that chaos in mind tomorrow I'm going to buy another one .The worst thing that could happen is we find the old one and it works. Than hopefully ( as I sit here with everything I can cross crossed I can get it done . Than the its a matter of to paint or just to seal it . Than I can get the bathroom and Bears room going YIPPEE SKIPPY. I can't wait to sink my teeth into redecorating. Speaking of redecorating when I was digging around for the heat gun I found a bunch of upper kitchen cabinets. I think we can use them for the wall unit I want in the bedroom . I'm so happy ( yes people have told me that I'm sick when I get excited about stuff like that lol lol lol ) I hoping to haul those out this week and start the madness. One thing I can say is Hubby isn't totally freaked out about all of these stuff I have planned.

Ok I'm off to get some housework (gag gag yuck lol ) done . Til next time .Have an awesome day
