So we're back! After almost a week of no blog, fear not, we're shamelessly, pointlessly rambling again. Les was in Vegas for a week (yes, I'm still jealous and angry with her) and I was busy getting ready for my Dad's surprise 70th birthday, mourning the season end of Downton, pouting about not being in Vegas AND most importantly working away at that purge, paint, peer pressure list!
I'm actually pretty excited with the progress and I seem to have inspired the hubs! We successfully finished painting the kitchen. Hubs also took the initiative to repair the back splash in the kitchen and we are onto painting the ceiling. I am in love with the color (Winter in Paris) and a fresh coat of white on the ceiling will really make it pop. I am busy hunting down new drapes and some other goodies to dress the new color up! I almost died about 7 times, as my kitchen counter/step ladder balancing skills are amateur at best, but it was so worth and getting to check it off of our list was almost as good as a brownie, wrapped in bacon, dipped in a margarita.
There's been some purging going on to, as the hubs decided to let me clean out his dresser. Sweet mother of all things holy, I have dreamed about this day. No really, I've dreamed about it. I've dreamed of tossing pit stains, tossing shirts that are so worn you can see nipple action through them and tossing shirts with stupid quotes on them that even make a college kid look like a jackass! I even got to throw away a few navy blue shirts, which when your husband wears navy blue uniforms, likes the Yankees and Penn State, shedding any navy blue is a small victor.
So that's where we are. Next on the list, purging some of my clothing, redoing the bakers rack in our kitchen and if I am feeling frisky it might play with a little wood.....mind out of the gutter! I'm talking a Pinterest inspired wood working project! What projects have you guys tackled recently?
