Guess what I've been doing this morning?


See the light we put in when
we moved in? Yeah I know
the rim is crooked at the moment
due to painting. This bath used
to have an old strip light with
very bright bulbs. We changed it
out with something that was taken
out of an apartment at Tony's work.
So a freebie update.
It was a cream color and I painted
it the gray color.
And ya know what?
It matches the light
above our kitchen sink so it
kind of goes with the flow.
The kitchen light came with the place.

I just had an idea for a shower curtain
for the bathroom. I have some drapes
in the linen closet I'm currently not using
that I think would work well
with the paint color. And if the heavy
drapes don't work I have a set of
matching, same design, sheers
I could make into a shower curtain.
I'll have to think about this.
Plus I have a little bathroom stand
I want to repaint in a creamy white
that has scrolls and leaf work on it.
I think I picked this up for a buck or two
at a yard sale.

11:15am

I'm done painting for the day.
I still have 2.25 walls to do.
I don't like the mirror in the bathroom
and would like to replace it
with this mirror that I have.
It was also a freebie removed
during an apartment rehab.
It used to be gold and I repainted
it a creamy white.
I think it would look so much
better in there with all the white
molding, doors and wall cabinet.
It looks round but it's actually
an oval shape.

Also you don't know how bad I would
love to rip out that linen closet
and put in a small stackable
washer and dryer in it's place!
We have another linen closet
in the hallway.
I haven't been able to convince
Tony of it yet. First of all he doesn't
think there is enough room and second
he's not one for stackables
because they use them in the apartments
where he works and says they
are crap constantly breaking.
Now let's see if anyone notices
any more paint I put on the walls!
---------------------------------

4:20pm

Ok, I did have to paint one more thing
today so I could put my bathroom back
together. I needed this shelf done
because anything that was on it is
sitting on my bathroom floor, lol.


If I had a choice, I'd paint
the bathroom cabinet a
deep, rich chocolate color.
But I can't convince Tony in
making those changes.

Got too much to do around here, ahhh!
I think we'll end up having the leftover
spaghetti for supper since it's
already done up so that'll save some time.

---------------------------------

8:10pm

No one has yet to notice the
different colored paint in the bathroom, lol.

So tired and achy. But I guess
that's something to expect with
woman things. See told you it's always
something around here.
Gotta get this place in ship shape
and feel like I should be in bed
under the electric blanket.

My agenda for tomorrow-
wipe down couch, it's microfiber
so all I do is wipe it down with
a wet cloth and set the fan
in front of it to dry.
Then I'm gonna work on getting
the carpet cleaned in the
living & dining room and hallway.

I keep hearing a creaking sound
coming from under the couch
when we sit on it. This is crazy if
I have to send Value City out here
again to fix the boards.
What I want to know is why
the makers of sofas don't use
metal rods when constructing
it so the wood doesn't break over time.

----------------------------

I'm gonna try this home remedy tonight-

For bags and circles under your eyes
apply potato slices under your eye
for 15-20 minutes.
Mayo or an egg white works
good too.
