ciao blog!
since our housing status is in limbo right now (time is on our side - keep saying it long enough and eventually you'll believe it) i've been trying to do home projects that i could take with us if need be. the roof - i can't take with. the shower walls - can't come with. so i'm left with this creative energy that i can't express.
on my list of things of to do was removing the "wall" that P put up to split up the master bedroom into a bedroom and hallway. that came down and i put the church door screen there as a wall. looks awesome!
we made little S a daybed. i have to finish that up by painting the outside side piece and making some kind of cushion thingy (think the front of the arm of a couch) - too many scratches from the wood. bed looks great though!
in mid-project right now is the desk/shelving unit. i finally found 2 matching bookshelves ($20 on morey park rd) and we used the last church door as the table top. i need P to miter the paperboard crown moulding and find two pieces of something to use a backer board which is really going to look like a wall when you're in the livingroom. i went back to home depot to see if i could get more of that $20 bead board for $5 and it was all gone. bummer. i want to paint the whole unit one solid color so it looks like a real built in unit but P thinks painting the fake wood bookshelves is a bad idea (the paint won't adhere). and now, we're split down the middle - do we keep the back OFF the unit so you can see through the desk and into the LR or do we put the wood on the back so it blocks the LR. i also need to make a message center for the backside of one of the shelf units that faces inward. it'll look awesome when i'm done though.
i think next i'm going to paint the kitchen cabinets. normally i wouldn't do such a thing. you just don't paint real wood. gah! but these 4 bottom cupboards and 1 drawer unit aren't real wood. they're particle something or other and they don't care if they get painted. i need a funkyish design and some cheap paint. walmart had some paints for $3-$5 that were miscolored, but we were working on little S's bed and the paint had to wait andnow it's gone.
the bathroom. ugh. i can't even think about it right now. it needs a new roof, ceiling, shower walls, hot/cold/shower mechanism thingys...the ones that are BEHIND the shower wall, hell..i need a whole new bathroom (not exaggerating?).
the garage/storage/girls bedrooms really need an overhaul. we were in a rush to move in so we (read that to mean HE...lol) didn't really do things the way *I* would have liked them...since i'm the mom and the maid, etc. so in a dream world - the whole thing gets ripped apart and *I* get to start over.
but/...since the hot water tank shite to bed and it took more resources than were available - all projects are on hold until further notice. thanks hot water tank. you ass.
and you're right. that has nothing to do with nothing. i'm wasting space.
ha!
