Only A Woman Would Start Four Projects At Once!!
Yes, I am that woman! I only have a little time, but I thought I would post a quick hello. We have been thinking about painting our kitchen. Well, this weekend, I bought the paint (it had mail in rebate to boot). The cabinets will be white and the walls yellow. I also looked into what it would cost to replace the counter tops. Lots of money! It isn't too bad but I do think we will probably opt for something a little cheaper. I don't want to start the counter tops until after everything is painted, though. Then I can choose what I like with the color scheme.
In addition to those two things, I started measuring for a new cabinet in the laundry room. The room is too small so I have to make the most of space. We are currently keeping a cabinet in there to utilize space, but something will need to be built in. My Wonderful Husband already has the wood so it shouldn't cost anything extra.
After that, we decided to take out the HUGE CABINET that is in the library. I emptied it of EVERYTHING! In doing that, I had to clean out a closet and make a school area for things I needed downstairs. We need to rehang a bar for hanging coats and fix the light. I took all the craft/art supplies up to my craft closet in my room. Of course, I needed to rearrange that room and sort stuff!
We have wanted to build book shelves because the books have gotten away from us. I have four shelves that are two books deep! My Wonderful Husband has done the measuring and figured what wood we will need. Now all I have to do is get paint and paint the wall and trim then he can build. That is why we removed the cabinet. That put us one step closer to getting new shelves!!
Finally, we needed to give the cabinet a home. We moved the freezer in the garage to fit better and Wonderful Husband dismantled the cabinet and reassembled it in the garage. Now I have storage that will not invade HIS space. It tidied up the garage and gave me more space in the house.
So, how many jobs was that? My poor Wonderful Husband knows that this is how I work. I can never start "just one job". But isn't that the way of women? Once you start one thing you need to start another and then another and then... Isn't everything connected throughout the house. Needless to say, Lowes was happy to see us on Saturday morning! |
