We've been working really hard on our house this week. Since we don't have any family nearby, we spent the time working on things. We spent Wed. raking the front yard and hauling it to the back, so that today we can burn. We also have to rake our backyard today (which if you've seen our yard you know this is a huge job!). We also wanted to get our ceilings textured and painted. We had scraped the ceilings in the hallway, living room, and the two kids bedrooms. We figured this was a good time to get some of it done, especially before Nathaniel makes his debut. So we got the kids ceilings and the hallway textured on Wed., and yesterday we painted them. Now Kaitlyn's room is all done! Here is a before picture from when we first moved in:
This is the after picture(sorry for the weird dot on the picture!) :
This is after scraping her ceilings, sanding and painting her trim and doors, painting her walls, and texturing and painting her ceilings. The only thing I haven't done yet is hang up her curtains. I know it's hard to see all the progress in a picture, but it looks completely different. Her room looks so girly and so pretty. I love the outcome, and it was so worth the time and mess! We also put the crib in her room and went through all her toys.
The boys room is almost done too. We need to touch up their paint and paint their trim then their room is all done. We plan on working on the ceilings in the living room here before Christmas. It would be nice to get the messiest stuff done now rather than when we have a newborn. But we shall see as our schedule gets busier from now till Christmas! I'm just thankful for a long weekend with Jarod and the opportunity to work on these things!
