One on top of another

I spend most of my time wondering why I get so many projects going at one time. I've always done it.

1. Paint shelves-done.

2. Paint mantle-in the works.

3. Put entertainment center in and rearrange the living room-done.

4. Clean living room after everything is in place-yeah I'm working on it.

5. Clean garage.

6. Organize Connor's clothes by size and put in tubs...put tubs in storage shed...working on it.

7. Put the 4-5 loads of laundry that is currently on couch and in chair away...yeah that's never ending...but working on it!

8. Organize Avery's clothes by size...working on it.

9. Pack diaper bag.

10. Pack my bags and Adam's for hospital.

11. Clean back porch off...again.

12. Wipe down kitchen cabinets.

13. Clean hall closets out.

14. Order stuff for Connor's FOURTH birthday party.

and the list could go on and on...



Right now first in line are the ones that we already have the supplies for=NO COST, just time. Next up on the list is getting our mantle painted. As seen here this side of the room is already looking much lighter! I couldn't be more pleased with the way the shelves turned out! We also scored a entertainment center-FREE and put it up Sunday. It's a project I will take on after Avery comes (many weeks after Avery comes). I want to paint it white too! It's in great condition with only a few scratches and when you add FREE to it, it looks even better! We also have more storage space so that means that tub full of movies now has somewhere to go and Connors smaller clothes have somewhere to go too! I'm slowly cleaning the garage out and feel so much better about how everything is turning out.

It's amazing how much I want to do around the house before Avery comes but realizing quick I don't have the energy/time to do them!

Eager

Remember this post?

These shelves were # 100000000 on my to do before Avery arrives list...We finally got them painted and put back into the living room. I love how it lightens up that side of the room!!

Next up is the mantle. I can't wait...we have a busy weekend coming up with a birthday party and Easter Sunday but I plan on painting it next and Laynee's and Avery's room is next on the list too!

So what do YOU think??? I'm trying to let them get good and dry before I start loading them up with stuff!

Kitchen Remodeling

Step #1-Don't go insane! No seriously. I decided to paint my kitchen green. It took months for me to decide...I have the paint picked out and hopefully can talk my dad into painting it sometime soon. My cabinets got repainted a couple months ago by me and my dad. I've been slowly picking up things here and there and can't wait to either fix the floor that is down or tear it up and put something else down. In the mean time I saw these beauties on Mrs. Janice's porch, I ask for them and got them on friday. By saturday my hands were on them, I knew they just needed a little love....So here is the first one, sanded, painted, sanded on the edge and a burlap cushion....Sherree came over and helped with the cushion or I would have never been able to finish! Thanks Sherree, maybe this week we can finish the second one!

Before:

I also started this... and then the pouring/wind blowing/rain came! I can wait to paint the letters and hang on the wall...So I guess you wanna know what it is. its a art hanging thingy...I saw one with out the letters at hobby lobby more for notes, etc. and was inspired to do the letters from this post. I'll show you after pictures later this week! I'm sure with Laynee starting kindegarden I'm gonna need it! Now if I can only get Codie to make one of these my kitchen will be so organized! :) J/K Codie-I do love it! :)
