Old House...
Old house is on the market. As soon as I get the MLS I will post it. It will be so nice to get the burden of paying two mortgages off our backs. I am crossing fingers and toes that we can get it sold quickly. Many thank you's to elegantelbow for making this so much less stressful than I thought it would be. Also for getting back to us quickly and just being generally awesome!
With the thought of the other house being gone, I can finally turn my mind to getting more done here. Especially since Jonathan is not spending all of his free time doing work on the other house. I wanted desperately to have a housewarming/Little Human Party, and that never came to be since we are too strapped for cash and too busy. The house is still a mess, but I see it starting to come together. There will be a party, I just have no idea when.
I have wonderful ideas on painting everything. I think I have come up with a color scheme that we can all live with and that will be lovely. I have to make samples for Jonathan. He is very visual and can't see in his mind what I am going for unless he sees it in front of him.
There will prolly be an addition to this post later today but I must go take care of the LH before he starts throwing things...
Ok, Little Man is off to bed and I have some time. Today and yesterday have been lazy days for me. I got nothing done besides sleeping. It leaves me feeling slightly inadequate.
Anyway, back to painting. I want to paint the kitchen a golden yellow with a pumpkin glaze. The Dining room will be the pumpkin color from the kitchen with a red glaze. The main room will have the big wall painted the red from the glaze of the dining room. The rest of the walls will be painted off white (Swiss Coffee). The Living room is going to be light gray with dark gray trim and red accents (mainly my chair). The floor plan for the main rooms (kitchen, dining, living and study) is very open. I am trying to make it clash as little as possible. Thank goodness I took that decorating class :P
The bedrooms will all be different. I am not sure the exact color scheme mom wants for her room. Ours will be a light sea glass blue with darker blue trim. The bathroom is blue walls with yellow trim to accent my rubber ducky collection. LH's room is going to be light green and Classic Winnie the Pooh yellow and a WTP border. At this point I think he could care less what color his room is. When he gets old enough to ask, we will repaint it (kinda like cutting his hair).
I wish is wasn't getting so chilly already. I wanted to start the work on the veggie bed this fall, but haven't been able to get to it. I guess I will have to do it in the spring instead. I also need to get the compost pile finished up. The bins I made are great for starting it, but they fill up quickly and I think starting them in the bins and transferring to the pile is going to end up being how we work them. *sigh*
Well I guess that's it for tonight. Now I am sleepy again.
