Painting

Charlotte — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 01:25:59 +0000

We’ve been working on this house trying to get it into shape to be sold. It’s not our house. It belongs to my sister-in-law and she just put it on the market. If I were to walk into it in the condition it was in I would have turned around and walked out again. The walls looked horrible and were in bad need of a paint job.

That’s what Andi and I have been doing lately. The living room, kitchen, family room, bathrooms, upstairs hallway and 1 bedroom have been painted mostly by Andi. This week I’ve been working on my bedroom. I got 3 walls painted before I ran out of paint and most of the trim done. We still have to get more paint to finish my room and the last bedroom, which is a bright pepto bismol pink! We need to get more ceiling paint too to finish the upstairs hallway, my bedroom and the pink room. Then we should be finished with the painting.

Andi also painted the kitchen cabinets and Drew painted the hardware for the cabinets and the exhaust hood for the range. Everything is starting to looks so much better.

Now to get sis-in-law here to go through all of the stuff she left here when she moved. There are boxes and boxes of stuff all over the place.

Need to redecorate

Charlotte — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 23:27:41 +0000

I need to redecorate my bedroom. It’s needs painting in the worst way. I also need a real bed. Right now I’m sleeping on an air mattress bed and I really miss my queen bed. I have a $50 gift card to spend on bedding and will either use that to get a nice mattress pad or matouk linens for the bed.

I’m thinking of painting the room a nice, calming color. Right now it’s my escape.. well it will be more of an escape once I get a TV for in there and get it painted and get new linens and comforter. It’s a plain, dirty white rectangle right now.

Spare bedroom = less aggravation

We have a spare bedroom that serves as a guest room and a playroom for when the grandkids are here. The room has a bed, dresser, recliner and a TV that the boys XBox is hooked up to. We didn’t used to have a spare TV but we do now and I thought it would be better to have the boys play their games in there when they are here.

It is better.. it’s quieter and hubby can watch what he wants in the living room. Before Tayler went to Texas with her mom she got to play on the XBox without bothering anyone or anyone bothering her. Andi even went in there to play the XBox too. I guess she needed an escape from her parents too.

That bedroom is a really nice size and there is still plenty of room even with the bed, dresser, recliner, TV and toys.

House help

Charlotte — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 19:32:30 +0000

I miss the house we used to have. It had 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a great kitchen, living room and dining room. We added on a 2 car garage and later added a 1 bedroom, 1 bath in law apartment on the back. The livingroom/great room area and master bedroom and bath had cathedral ceilings with skylights in the living room and kitchen.

We ran into financial problems and lost the house. I really wish we had looked into getting some foreclosure help before that happened. We didn’t do that and just let them take it. That began the condo renting cycle. We really want to try to get another house. Hubby really misses having a garage to tinker around in and I really miss having my own home. I miss being able to paint and do what I want with my home. I miss the peace and quiet we had at our old home. Some day… some day….
