House Projects

Here are some pictures of the house projects we have had done recently. A friend of ours is a trim carpenter by trade and put crown molding, shadow boxing, chair rails and window boxes on the main floor of the house. We then had the entire first floor, stairway and hallway upstairs painted including ceilings. The painter we hired had a huge crew and promised to get it all done in a week while Rob was in Germany (he has an intolerance to wet paint fumes because of his latex allergy). Well, they showed up 2 weeks ago and he said he brought the whole crew to complete it in a day. He wasn't kidding. There were 12 painters and they tarped the entire house and everyone took a wall it seemed. They worked from 8:15 to 5:15 and did indeed finish it all. It was a crazy day but it gave me the rest of the week to get the house put back together before Rob got back. The kitchen table is new too as we were still using the "temporary" table we bought the day we moved in 8 years ago.

Then a friend of mine decided to get new king size bedroom furniture and she offered us her old queen set. She had a beautiful sleigh bed and armoire and since Kelsey was still sleeping on my old bed (with a more recent mattress) that was 30 years old we decided to upgrade her. She loves her new grown up bedroom....now I just need to get her to make that big bed every day.
