Experiments in Life Because Sometimes Science Screws Up!

Days of Painting, part one

Yesterday, Ashley and I went out and purchased paint for our room. I then spent the rest of the day prepping -- moving everything to the center of the room, thoroughly cleaning and dusting, and finally removing a bad section of baseboard that has needed replacing for a while. Today, I started painting. By the end of the afternoon -- and slightly over a gallon of paint -- I had completed all of the roller work. Now, I am ready to do brush work in the morning. I still need to go to Lowe's tomorrow to pick up some crown moulding and possibly another section of baseboard (I need to remeasure what I have to make sure that it will fit). I also have to pick up the trim paint as well. However, for the rest of the night, I think I will crash.

Planning Day

Today was a planning day. Since the walls are plain white, I have been itching to redo our Master Bedroom for quite some time now. So, Ashley and I spent all afternoon planning the renovations. We have picked a color, decided on putting up crown moulding, bought a new bedspread, and are now recouperating so that we can begin prep work tomorrow. We also plan on laying down laminate wood flooring in the bedroom -- just not yet. I do not know that I would have it in me to get it all finished by the time I have to go back to work on Tuesday and I have a few other projects I would like to get a start on as well (cleaning up and organizing the garage -- a big enough project that it will probably take a few weekends itself, but I want to get a start on it).

I plan on taking pictures as things progress and will hopefully get them posted.
