Oh my, friends. I have gone and started way too many projects at once.
During cold and flu season.
Right before the holidays.
With a one and four-year-old in the house!
What was I thinking?!
I wasn’t. I was all hopped up on Fixer Upper reruns I watched while I was couch-bound with the flu. Blinded by early-onset cabin fever. Driven to the point of madness by the tile floors that were (yes, were) the color of naked Barbies.
Here are the projects I have happening right now:
Remodeling the guest bathroom: The original project that had babies. Lots of babies.
- Installed shiplap around the bottom of the room
- Painted the shiplap white
- Installed a groutable vinyl tile floor over the existing naked Barbie floor
- Grouted the bathroom floor
- Customized a chandelier for the room
- Getting ready to tile a feature wall with gray glass arabesque tile
- Installing a new vanity and the chandelier
Kitchen: Because, you know, I had to make things as complicated as possible…
- Installed the groutable vinyl floor in the kitchen and hallways outside of the guest bath
- Still need to grout the floor
- Painting the trim and doors Pure White from Sherwin Williams
The “Situation Upstairs: Travis got a new job and will be working from home as of December 1st. This was sort of a curve ball I wasn’t anticipating but I’m grateful and up for the challenge. We have to make an office for him so we’ll be moving the kids to a shared-room and turning Eli’s bedroom into an office. This all has to happen during the month of November.
- Sorting and doing a MAJOR purge of the kids’ stuff. Need any kids stuff?
- Painting a feature wall in the kids’ shared room and installing a new light. Here’s my design plan for this space:
- Adding a bunk bed to the room so Ada will have a getaway space from her little (busy) brother
- Figuring out toy storage. This isn’t my thing BTW. Organizing+Me=Not Friends. I’d like to be but we just don’t mesh.
- Finding office furniture for Travis
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy.
Don’t let me start anymore projects, okay?Anyone want to come have a painting party?!?! Or bring me coffee?
