spring has arrived ... #pressure

Accomplishments for this weekend include ...
  • Finally picked out a paint color for the backroom with the bar. It's called 'Hope Chest". Can I just say, LOVE? It's a greyish color with some purple and brown tones. Perfect. I think I might like it more than the purple in the dining room. I got 2 1/2 walls painted... 3.5 more to go. I don't think a quart of paint is going to cut it.

Before Painting:

After Painting:
  • My mom (along with my nephew) helped clean up the yard, it's starting to look a lot better. I imagine now that my nephew knows about the house, the whole world will know. Talk about being bombarded with questions yesterday, haha.
Loaded leaves and debris from the yard

Clean Deck, Yay!
  • The refrigerator and dishwasher have been removed! talk about a pretty pathetic looking kitchen now!
My appliance-less and floor-less kitchen.

  • My friend Lee and I finally got my L-shaped computer desk put together. I'm still not sure exactly where it will stay, but for now it's in the bedroom. Next comes the printer stand.

My new computer desk, fully assembled
  • Doorbell is installed and up and running. Thank goodness the new one I bought actually worked. The former owner took the doorbell unit itself, so I bought a wireless set with two buttons. Now I'll just need to have Chet, our electrician, removed the "wired" buttons from before. I have a westminster chime at the front and "ding" at the side. Kind of wishing there were more options.
Oh ... and i met the neighbors on all sides of me... we'll leave that for my next post haha!
