Time Flies

Wow that was fast.  I can't believe how long it's been.  It's as if we haven't gone over there for a while or done anything to the house.  Of course that's because we haven't gone over there for a while or done anything to the house.  We were interrupted by Thanksgiving and making merry and what not.  But now we're back in bizness!

So a few days ago Princie and I went out scouting for items for the house and came upon this treasure at the thrift store:

Isn't it great?!  I want to paint it white and put it in the pink master bedroom, where it will look wonderful.  That's the headboard I'm holding up and the footboard is nearly that tall too.  We also picked up an old daybed which I plan to paint white and put in the extra bedroom that I'm decorating. 

Princie and I decided to each take one of the extra bedrooms to do how ever we want.  Here's a picture of her choosing the paint for her bedroom a couple of days ago:

Doesn't her hair look great? I'm jealous.  Anyway back to the paint. She did pick some and has mostly painted the bedroom.  It's not quite finished yet, so I thought I'd wait until it is to take a photo and put it on here. 

Today Terry and I went over there so he could paint the living room and while he worked on that, I would paint the master bath.  Here he is starting the painting:

See up there at the top where he started painting?  You can't really tell how it will look at this point.  Then he decided to take a minute to tape off the window edges. 

As I said earlier I painted the master bathroom while Terry was doing that, so here's a picture of it, even though it has a way to go. So far, it's the whitest place I've ever seen.  It's very white. It's a plain white box, and I haven't even painted the vanity white yet:

Taking a pic of it is difficult due to the size.  Now I am noticing how the tub, toilet, and sink are not white.  Which is the very reason the rest of it is getting painted white. Later on we'll add those POPS of color that I've heard so much about.

Back in the living room, Terry moved over to the other end of the living room and now it looks like this:

Here is Terry casually standing around in front of his creation:

He took care of the two ends with the high parts (14 feet 2 inches) and I plan to go do the shorter sides on Saturday.  I'm taking tomorrow to get serious about Christmas.  After that I'll be more casual.

Like Terry.

Love, Vicki
