Hello!
Just got back from Camp Niwana yesterday. As a former director, cooking (even for 120) is a piece of cake! Molly and I were there for a week. We are exhausted, but ready for some more summer fun.
Bathroom update: Everything that the construction guys did is complete. Now I get to paint, and add all the goodies. I would like to paint the walls a blue-gray. I found some light gray paint in the garage, and went to Lowes and bought a Valspar color sample in blue. Here it is so far:
Got rid of the big picture window, and put in glass blocks to keep some natural light.
The floors are peel and stick vinyl planks from Styleselections in gunstock oak. (this girl is on a budget!) But they really are nice and durable!
And now my pretty blue/gray walls. I totally mixed the paint myself! (LOVE doing that!)
I am now working on the cabinets! Can't wait for the reveal!
Love to all............
And here I am again. Several months have passed. How do people have time to blog? I need more hours in my day. Who do I speak with to make that happen?
Anyway.........so much has happened in this girls' busy life! First and foremost, we are FINALLY remodeling our master bathroom! I couldn't be more excited about anything. I have been living with green striped wallpaper with pheasants all over it for 13 years now! I guess that was pretty back in the day, but goodness that was some ugly stuff! That, along with some other major plumbing work, we haven't been able to use our bathroom for a couple of years now. (We don't get around to fixing things in a hurry around here!) I have before and after pics. SO EXCITED!
I also have many DIY projects planned for the summer, but I'm having a hard time starting them. School wore me smooth out!
Here is my list: (how much will get done?)
Paint kitchen cabinets
Paint and retile kitchen table
Paint bar stools
Finish white washing fireplace bricks
Clean and purge out ALL bedrooms
Float in a pool...............
I should have put the last one first.
My NEXT big adventure is I have taken over the HJ Starlettes Drill Team! OMG, what am I thinking................More on that later! (when I figure all this out!)
Master Bath Adventure: This is some "before" pics when we just started ripping out the marble surround.
Pretty, huh?
And here is some of the progression:
It's a super deep tub, so I guess if I can't have a pool, I can just float in here. More updates later. I guess it depends on if I can remember to blog..........UGH!
Love to all............
It has seriously been a year and a half since I posted an entry? So much for my little hobby on the side. A LOT has happened since then. Mostly my children have sprouted before my eyes. I would love to write more, but this mom/teacher MUST get ready for little dribblers basketball game in a few hours. Then its serious sub plans for next week! I have a TCEA conference in Austin.
Love to all…..
