We recently decided to tear a half wall down in our house, with the floor gone there, a nasty stain in my carpet I couldn't get rid of, and a leaky dishwasher... It was time to make the switch to hardwood flooring
Well of course with messy kids, we needed to paint as well. Let's just say I completely underestimated how much time we would need to complete this project.
It's been a month now, and I finally have my TV, and my washer and dryer hooked back up. (Yikes!) It took us ages just to tear out the tile. Then painting, we ended up painting the ceilings, doors, and base boards as well as the walls.
My husband was so daring to even attempt to paint these walls at this crazy height, and we definitely broke some OSHA laws in the process!
The flooring took forever and we still need to finish painting upstairs, the baseboards need to be painted and installed, and during all of this my fridge went out and I lost all my food! Not to mention the added expense of a new fridge!
I have been a full time laborer and have not had any time to quilt. (Sigh!) But...I am going to take a week long break and get some stuff ready for spring market.
Here are some remodel pics... Before and kind of after because I give up for now!
And here is our fun Easter which we spent with family at the park, ate fried chicken, hunted eggs, and my boy pogo sticked for hours.
My sweet Malorie got to wear her NEW Mixi Heart Mini Skirt. This pattern is SO EASY and QUICK to sew... and ADOREABLE!
I will have 2 new patterns posted by next week, as I give up on my remodel and get back to having fun...for now.
Happy quilting!
