On the Home Front

So, when we found out we were having a baby, out came the Honey-Do list.  We had lots of things on the list, the first being our front bathroom.  This project took a little over a month to complete because we kept thinking of things that should be done.  We did the following in the bathroom:

• Painted the Vanity Black
• Painted the walls a burnt orange
• Changed out the light fixture, bath fixtures and hardware
• Lance built the frame around the mirror above the vanity

And...here are the results...

I am very pleased with the results!

We took a week off from home improvements to build up our stamina for this next project. 

The next project was to paint the front bedroom and the hall.  After a brief setback on Thursday night of the wrong paint color from Lowes, we started on Friday.  Tyler, Lance and myself got our trim brushes and rollers out for the task.  We worked all night Friday night and most of the day on Saturday.  We checked those 2 rooms off of our list.  Painting the front room led to rearranging the room to make room for the items that are were in the back bedroom- soon to be nursery.  We still have a few items in the back bedroom that need a home, but for the most part, the back bedroom is almost ready to become a nursery.

Today the boys (Lance, Tyler, Matt & Chris [brothers]) went to Talladega to the race.

Here's the boys at the race!

My chore for the day was to clean up the paint mess and get the rooms\house back in order. 

This took most of my morning!

Pictures have not been hung yet, but for the most part, this is the front room...

The bedding will soon change out too- but for now, this is what we have.

We are in search of a "headboard" to make this a day bed look. I'd like some old shutters or old doors to stand up behind there to make that look complete---similar to this but painted black and mounted longways.

The rest of my day was spent cleaning, organizing, napping and a little shopping.  It was nice to have the day to myself but my mind was getting the best of me.  I was glad for Lance to get home because sometimes my mind wonders.  I didn't realize just just how anxious I was about tomorrow.  I just pray that all is normal, healthy and visable.  We will know tomorrow if our little baby is a he or she. 

Lets just hope we can get some sleep!
