Yellow Bathroom

I'm happy to report that progress has been made on the bathroom project. The walls have been painted "Banana Cream" yellow and the light fixture has been hung. Although yellow is Sean's favorite color, we did not choose this color because of him. However, we did ask him which shade of yellow he liked from our paint samples. Surprisingly he didn't like any of them. They weren't yellow enough!

Below are some pictures of some possible floor choices. We are leaning towards the dark, multi-colored smalled square title vinyl (all choices are vinyl). Let us know which one you like!

Bathroom Project Begins!

The bathroom project has begun!! After debating if we really wanted to start this project this weekend or not, we decided to go for it. The project slowed down when we removed the existing lighting fixture to find instead of just the electric box, but a 3"x7" gap in the wall. Unfortunately we didn't have any drywall on hand to patch it since the stock we had on had all got destroyed in the flooded basement of June 2008. We were however still able to get the priming done on Saturday night. Today we picked up the supplies we needed to fix the hole and got it patched. Once it's dry we'll be able to paint!

On another note, to make home improvement even more exciting, the water line to the ice maker in the refridgerator has once again developed a pin hole and has leaked water all over the place. You have to go figure if you start a housing project some other thing is sure to break down and cause grief!!

Yellow Hoop Earrings

Yes, I know it's been awhile since we've last posted, but life has been pretty uneventful. This past weekend however, my sister and family were in Milwaukee for my Grandma's 90th birthday party.

Saturday we had an exciting afternoon going to the Elegant Farmer to pick some apples . . .including a giant one for Sean's pre-school homework assignment. I think Sean discovered the fun of climbing trees since he was a regular monkey in just about every tree we came across.


Saturday we also celebrated my sister's 35th birthday (which is upcoming on Wednesday the 24th - Happy Birthday Jen!). Sean went with his Daddy and Uncle Tommy shopping to get her a present. He found her what he thought was the perfect presents!!! A yellow blouse with yellow hoop earrings! When asked what inspired to pick out the presents, he said that yellow was mommy's favorite color. This is particularly funny, as yellow is his favorite color since he was brainwashed by Grandma from birth to believe this. :) I don't believe yellow has ever been Jen's favorite color. Sean also said that if his mommy wore the shirt and earrings together than she would look like a banana!!! I think Jen really enjoyed her presents and is looking forward to looking like a banana!!!

Sunday, we had a wonderful birthday party for my Grandma's 90th. It was quite the turnout with a houseful of people and gorgeous weather to boot!


We haven't done any house projects for quite the long time, but we're planning on going back down that road soon by updating our bathrooms, so check back for our progress over the next few weeks. We always have such great, fun experiences with home remodeling so I'm sure the blog entries could get very entertaining.

Thanks for stopping!
