Say it with me now... Friday!

Very nearly done...
All that is left is the toilet paper holder and towel ring. I'm "letting" my husband do that. My work here is done. Not too sure about the stuff on the shelves, but didn't want them to be blank - also there are two little doors covering the bottom shelf - great place for extra tp and 'girly stuff'.

Not much else to add today.

I was planning on a run, but my nail appointment got in the way.

Took the kids on four errands: meat market (yes, for steak!), Target, the bank, and the liquor store.

Guess where I spent the most money?

Have a great weekend, I know I will!

Are you weary of my projects?

I am. No... I just wish the weather would cooperate more.

Here's the new mirror I put up. I realize it's a little off center, (by about an inch) but by doing so I was able to put one of the screws into the stud.


I like the new wallpaper as well. It's funny, because there isn't a lot of frou-frou in the rest of the house, but for some reason I really like it in the half bath.

There are even new outlet covers - if you look carefully, you can see it in the picture, just above the sink on the right hand side. They very nearly match the light fixture.

Only one thing stands between me and my finished bathroom:


The only issue is that it's white. I'm thinking a little spray paint will do the trick.

Except...



It's too cold. The can says it needs to be in the 50's, but we're only supposed to get in the high 30's today.

Ah well. Plenty of other things to do today.

There's always laundry.

Note to self...

Stay out of home improvements when you start getting 'bored' with the house. In about fifteen minutes I picked out new paint and flooring for the dining room.



I'm thinking brown. The red is just starting to feel 'dated' to me. Also, I want to pull out the carpet and put down tile.

Now... To get my husband on board.


As an aside, I made some progress on my unfinished projects that are hanging over my head. One of the preschool teachers ordered eight of my Hot Packs, and I got those delivered today. I finished one of the two wraps another reader ordered. And I found a third project that has been haunting me. I should be able to finish it today. I've also done a lot of thinking about what I want out of my craft room, and how to get there.
