(no subject)
Anyone want a spare 1.5 year old? Ok, so he's actually quickly approaching 2, but at the moment he is playing in the cupboards and generally causing havoc. I haven't installed child safety locks yet as I really REALLY need to paint. Oh, I need to paint so much- I am tired just thinking about it and I hate painting. A lot.
Especially over the crap that is going on here. I mean really? Dark brown, bright red, BLACK?! What drugs were these people on? Deep breath- one room at a time... I think I will start with the living room- it's got three dark chocolate brown walls and one bright red. I mean, I get what they were going for, but no. It's going to be nice light bright colors- I haven't decided on white or cream, but it will not be BLACK. Even the back porch/mudroom/laundry area is done in shades of black. Come on.
Upstairs there are two black bedrooms to repaint, and one white bedroom with writing all over the place by some emo teenage girl who was way into lyrics and lacking parental supervision. One room at a time we'll get it sorted. When Shane is done with his current trip away, hopefully I can bribe him to do some painting. For now we are living with minimal stuff so it will be best to paint now before all the furniture is set up.
I need to figure out where the kids bedrooms will ultimately wind up. There are three bedrooms upstairs, one is twice the size of the other two, and there is a central lounge area connecting them all- which could be a second living room or something. I haven't decided the best use of that space.
Downstairs is hard to describe- but coming in the front door there is a narrow hallway straight in front. Off to the left is the living room, and off to the right are two other rooms. The hallway goes all the way through to the kitchen- splitting the house in half lengthwise. The kitchen is big enough that it is where the table is going to be permanently (I NEED a farmhouse table in there) though the living room could be split to living room and dining room as well, and I will plan to put a table/seating in there as well for kids projects and so on- I just need to decide on exactly what to do with the space. (Holy crap sentence structure- I'm just not in the mood to care.)
So now I need to decide who to put in what bedroom spaces permanently and start painting. I think I will leave Aiden and Keagan in a room together. Malachi is still in with me, but he is going to be 2 soon enough, and I guess I have to let go at some point. None of the rooms is a defined 'Master Bedroom' so it makes it hard to sort out.
