Inconvenient

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Uh Oh.

Whats this?

Oh yeah, that hole used to be my driveway.

At least we have a sidewalk.

I did get into a wee bit of a fight about mailbox placement with the city Parks and Street director. He actually physically ripped it out of the new sidewalk. Now its on the front lawn and we can’t get in or out of our driveway.

We have been inconvenienced.

Pink Bathroom

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009




Yup. That is chunks of my bathroom wall falling off.

It is officially starting and I hate this part. The messy gross ugly part.

The pink is staying. We can’t afford a total rip-it-out to the studs and replace it all remodel. So, we are doing an aesthetic renovation. Changing a few minor things, painting, new lights, new hardware type of deal. Its like an HGTV show, except for hopefully not as blandly and poorly designed.

We are doing it cheap and simple. Lots of labor and lots of pink tile staying here forever…

Portrait of a Lady

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

So where did the lovely lady portrait from the dining room face off end up?

Probably in the worst place ever…

Right over my bed!

Nothing says sexy like a vintage octogenarian judging you while getting your groove on. Well I don’t know, that red dress she’s got on is pretty racy. What a whore!

I still need to hang some bed side lights and install a headboard. I’ve got a plan, now I just need some action…

The other good thing? The new ladies outfit does match the lovely light switch. Let us never forget about that awesome thing.
