Yay Floors!
The installer was at the house all day yesterday and got the hallway nearly done, the kitchen and living room nearly done! Here’s the hallway around noon yesterday. He still has to go back and do a small strip along the left side of the wall, the area in front of bedroom door and the entryway. Then the quarter round…

Busy weekend
So this weekend was crazy. As I mentioned last week, we were prepping the house for new floors! Yay! The flooring came in Friday and dad came over to help us get it in the house. It needed to sit inside our house for a couple of days to acclimate. We had already pulled up the carpet in the hallway,…

Getting the house ready + sewing
This week through Sunday we are getting the house ready for the new floor! I started packing up stuff on shelves last night, and Chase started experimenting with pulling up the carpet in the hallway. I took some before pictures (even though I already took down a lot of knick-knacks): The flooring will be here on Thursday, and has to…

House and Teeth Cleaning
So I went and got my teeth cleaned for the first time in waaaay too long and boy are they sore. Not so bad today. But last night I was hurting. They looked good except I’m going to have to have a crown replaced. Ouch. (the ouch is more financially speaking than physically, though) I’ve been on a mad house…

Sewing Room – finished!
I finally finished everything up last night and at last have a functional sewing room again. Indy is confused at finding she can actually walk into my office: Closet side: Desk side: I still have a ton of photos in frames I need to find a place for, but that can wait. Also need to organize my bins a bit…

Adventures in House Hunting
My way home from my new job takes me right by a house we looked at when we were house hunting back in 2009, so yesterday in my head I was reminiscing about it and some of the other places we looked at. We looked at a lot of short sales/foreclosures, since we could possibly get a bigger house for…

House Work: Painting, Video Games and Whatnot
Hi guys. Haven’t done much lately because of all the painting and crazy work stuff. BUT I do have a few things to share now! First off, had a good mail day the other day: Chase has been playing a lot of PS3 lately and it’s been making me miss some of my PS2 games. Besides playing Battlefront 1 and…

Random post of Randomness: House Stuff, etc
So I was going to upload my Timegate photos tonight but never got around to it because I started reorganizing the kitchen. I didn’t mean to reorganize the kitchen, I was just filling up our new shelf in the kitchen, but it just escalated like those things do. Here’s the new shelf! The island on the bottom right corner is…

Romana + house work
The house is still a disaster thanks to us painting the laundry room, but it’s getting there. I forgot to take a before-photo of the laundry room before we took everything out, and before we stacked the washer and dryer. But here it is pre-painting: Only room in the house we’ve never done anything to – that floor tile is…

House work: Guest Bath
Working on the house again! I repainted the hall bathroom this past weekend. Third time since we’ve moved in. Here’s a quick history of the hall bathroom! When we moved in – it had wallpaper, which we took down. First I painted it green, because green is my fav colour and this was the one room we could agree on…

House Work: Bedroom finished!
and again the old room after we moved in for reference: Look at the bathroom door in comparison to the trim – that yellow-y colour is what all the trim and doors in our house is. Ick! Chase will be removing the door to repaint them white soon, and we’re replacing the hardware on the doors, too.

House Work: Painting the Bedroom
Got the bedroom painted this weekend! Well, almost – we only got about halfway through the trim. All of the trim and doors in our house are this icky almond colour, which just looks dingy next to everything else. We’ve been wanting to paint it all since we first moved in. We picked a slightly off-white for it. Anyway, a…

Belle painting
Chase is putting my Belle painting up tonight!!! He got this for me like 2 years ago, I”m so excited to finally be putting it up. Also, how I’m spending my Christmas:

i hate tile
This is going to sound weird but I really hate tile. I mean like tile on the floor, like kitchen or bathroom floors. It just grosses me out for some reason. It goes back to when I was little, and I would stay with my grandparents every day while my parents were at work, and my grandma’s kitchen was this…

House updates, Anaheim Comic Con pics!
I forgot to post pics of our (almost) finished kitchen! The cabinets are done and they’re up! I’ll get a better pic with a real camera soon. I’m really happy with it. Now to hang stuff on the other end of the kitchen and our curtains and it’s done. Also, I cleaned up the prop room… Still a little messy…

More Jane progress, kitchen updates
I got a lot of sewing done last night, enough to make me feel like I accomplished something. I got Jane’s top done, except for the little belt piece. Got the zipper put back in, the collar finished, and the sleeves finished. I’ve got to make the separate little piece for the collar now, and like I said, put the…

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…

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…

We’re painting the entry way today. It’s “Teal Zeal” LOL. I’ll post pics when we’re done. today’s princess… was just in a movie WITH Disney characters. but i thought she’d be fun to draw.

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.
