Home Improvement Weekend

1. Top I made, 2. Second top I made, 3. New Bathroom floors, 4. Pink Sewing Room, 5. Tea & Cookies, 6. Sugar Cookies.

This weekend was a busy one doing stuff around the house and whatnot. We have been in our condo for about a year and a half now and we are still not done doing everything we want to do. We were really gung-ho in the beginning, but then we got tired and ran out of money, you know how it goes. Then of course, I change my mind a lot. I've painted the kitchen twice and I feel another change on the way... I really like color, so I pick out all these colors and then I freak out because I feel like there are too many colors going on. So basically right now most of our interior walls are a really light blue/green, which I love. Our living room is light pink, the same color I just re-painted my sewing room this weekend. I love it. The room was blue and gray before. Now it feels so nice and warm and inviting. Which is good since I was trapped up there for five hours yesterday while we got new carpet installed on our staircases. It was a ugly beige before and now it's a dark gray. It is my firm belief that all carpet is hideous, however, it was our only option for the staircases. Speaking of ugly flooring, we also removed the beige linoleum in the bathrooms with some pretty white lacquer-ish flooring. Thank God that is gone and the transformation is almost complete.

Being trapped upstairs wasn't a complete waste of time though. I hung out with my kitties, made two tops, had tea and cookies, and watched countless episodes of "A Haunting" on the Discovery Channel.

Sadly, there was one casualty during our home improvements this weekend. While I was removing everything from the walls before we started painting, an antler on my fake deer head slipped from my hand and shattered on the ground. I will have to get a replacement when funds permit, but this one was a gift from Aaron and he even spray painted it pink for me. It was a sad day. RIP my deer.
