Productive

We have had several projects on the list lately--I am guilty of thinking of too many projects to be honest. We have lived in our house just under 6 years and we have repainted every room except one at least once since the painting we did when we moved in. Some rooms have been done 2 or 3 times. Not only that, but some rooms have had 3 different light fixtures...4 if you count the one that was already here when we moved here. Anyway, you'd think we would have it all done one of these days--ha.
Our "major" project for the year is the new master bath. That is in progress--yes progress is being made even if slowly. Josh has been quite busy with work and our other projects to even get much of a chance to work on it.
Other things we have completed this year include... re-plumbing the house, painting, tiling the backsplash, etc...
Over the weekend we decided it was time to tackle the painting project that has been hanging over our heads--the living room. The thought of moving the stuff and painting the walls and celing was just not sounding fun. I myself am tired of painting to be honest. Even though I don't want to paint, I know it is time to get rid of the hospital-looking off white. We painted it off white when we moved here probably because there were so many things we had to do in the house that the color of paint wasn't a big deal--nor did I know what I wanted.
We finally decided upon the color--thanks to our former neighbor, Julie. It is called "hopsack". It is kind of a tan/taupe color I suppose and has a green accent wall. The accent wall is the wall with the 3 large windows. The ceiling turned out great--it is now painted in semi-gloss rather than flat. I HATE flat paint. In the midst of painting, our phone rang. It was to tell us that our furniture was in. Good thing we decided to paint when we did! We moved our old LR furniture out the same day (I only have a chair to sit on in my LR right now).
Since then, I have been on a roll with doing these dumb projects. Last night, we painted all of the trim upstairs. Not a big deal, just a project we weren't really looking forward to doing. The LR has undergone a purging (mainly in my curio cabinet) and a cleaning. I washed all of the windows yet again and then I also cleaned the window sills that are inbetween the window and screen. It was filthy. No worries--the dirt didn't stand a chance with me today! My TV cabinet has been organized also =). All of the rest of the house has been undergoing cleaning as well. I feel great also because the toy room got painted last week--yay.
Now, all efforts will be concentrated on finishing the new bath. My personal goal is by mid-July--we'll see. We have the paint (butter is the color), tub, vanity, toilet, tile and everything---just gotta put it all in. Wow, this is making me tired!
