Prop/Guest Room updates

So here's some pics of what we did yesterday! I finished painting it last weekend, as you may have read... yesterday we put up most of the shelves and unpacked what we could, and put the new futon together. You can see the edge of the main shelves there on the right. And the other side... with a creeper hanging out in the corner!

More House updates

Since we got the wallpaper down last weekend, that meant it was finally time to paint. We finished yesterday. I don't really have a before of either room - the garage door entrance is where the bug wallpaper used to be. The main entryway was the off-white/gold stripe that I never took a picture of (we got that removed the weekend we move in - the steamer worked fine ...

Finished the Bathroom!

OMG YAY! I'm really pleased with the colour, I was a little nervous about it. Especially since we picked it out and bought it back in September, I'd kinda forgotten what it looked like! And today's Princess is Iridessa.

No more wallpaper

The handyman came today and got all of our wallpaper down. Seriously, we scrapped at that bug wallpaper in the entryway for 3 months... it took him 2 hours to get the entry way paper AND all of the master bath paper down. I'm so excited! He comes tomorrow to paint the bathroom for us. Here's a before and after, I'll post another after tomorrow: > And today's princess... Jane from Tarzan ...

Thank you God for bagels & Snow White art

Somebody brought in panera bread bagels this morning. MAN, they are so good... doubly so since I didnt have breakfast this morning! Anyway, today's Princess is Snow White, in her wedding dress. A search turned up a picture of a real life Snow White wedding dress on display at Harrod's, it was really pretty, so it's what I used as reference. Tonight we're going to look for paint for our ...

HOUSE

I finally took some pics of our house. I kept putting it off thinking, "let me get a little more done first..." but then I realised if I keep telling myself that, I'd never take pics. Figured I'd share our progress! Welcome! Says Indy. We have two trees in the front yard and they are SO pretty when the leaves started changing- I wish I'd gotten a pic. Anyway, we've ...

We all spent the rest of ...

House hunting again

I hate house-hunting. But hopefully everything will go smoothly. We'll know where we are by the end of the week - so we can see what our options are. BTW - here's my twitter. I've gotten to where I use it pretty often. We are off to Metropolis for Superman Celebration this weekend. Lots of work left to do between now and friday...
