We have wanted to take out few shelves in our back closet for a long time and make a spot for all the kids ‘Stuff’. Last Friday Barry decided to get to it. Then he asked if I wanted to paint the closet while it was empty. Of course the answer was, ‘duh, Yes!’ I also wanted to finish painting this back hall and stairs and bathroom. We have had the paint sitting around since we remodeled the kitchen last year, so why not?
Nothing special as far as color goes, just the same tan from the rest of the main level. But oh, how I love freshly painted walls! Especially right inside your garage door that is the dumping zone for everyone’s stuff.
But like we usually do…suddenly we were redoing the entire half bath. Cabinet out, toilet out, floor out.
This is Barry painting a wall.
He does NOT paint.
I paint.
He will do anything but paint.
But seeing as I kept leaving big circular belly marks on the walls, he didn’t have much choice.
Here is our little PBJ covered helper Scooter, which is what her dad has started calling her since her broken leg. She is very good at bossing everyone around.
The girls kept us entertained with music. This is their tripod turned microphone that they sing into every afternoon.
Laminate Glue is a bugger to get off!
And here is the latest condition of the bathroom. Everything is painted and Barry started laying the tile last night.
Please note the bottom piece of tape, “Do Not Wail On Tile”. This is what happens when you tile at 3am. Wail and Walk become the same thing. :) The kids thought that was very funny when they discovered it this morning.
Hopefully this project will be done in a few days. I wish I could get better pictures of it but that is a challenge in a 3×3 hall and a 5×5 bathroom.
And for everyone who wants to say this is me ‘Nesting’, you are probably right. But it’s Barry nesting too. He does it right along with me every time I’m pregnant. Sort of like the first time I was pregnant, with Ryan, and I gained 25 lbs and he gained almost 40 lbs.
Seriously. :)
You guys are always so good about doing home projects like that, i’m not good at that at all. Looks great though!
Fun times.
Hey, could you come nest at my house please.
Love the nesting projects! You are both so handy!
Cody gained and nested just like I did also. Except not as much nesting as Barry. Cody hates home improvement. I am the one who likes it and does it. I need to get my pics up on my blog of the bathroom I just finished. Well, half bath.
