a little at a time. . .

That has been my motto starting the beginning of January. I have so many house projects that have been in need of being done since we bought this house (over 5 years ago now!). So in order to get myselft to do them, I am not over whelming myself and just doing a little at a time. I don't make myself work every day. My goal has actually been to work once a week for a couple hours. Once I got going, I actually worked a little more than once a week. Of course we started with our closet, which I posted earlier. This is the rest of my progress for January.

I finally painted our bedroom. I am going with pretty basic colors. . . beige with white trim. I painted the closet doors, ceiling, bedroom door, bathroom door, etc. This is my favorite spot now adays. David got this chair for me for my birthday. It is oh so comfy. I just need a nice reading lamp now. This is my new bed set I got. I picked it out and was a little worried David may not like the flowers, but he didn't seem to care at all. I really like the blue, beige and dark brown. david finally placed the tiles for our window in the bathroom. We did most of this project last spring, but we tend to get projects MOST of the way done and not finish them. So I am determined to get them completed! He still needs to grout and seal it, but one step at a time it gets done! David also finished putting up the trim in the hallway and bathroom. This is the hall bathroom, or the girls bathroom. The old towel rack fell down, and I could just imagine it sitting there for months, waiting to be repaired, so I took matters into my own hands. I got these cool hooks and put them up, so each of the girls have their very own. I also painted the bathroom on the same day.

Here are Elizabeth and Mia helping with a little painting. This is the door to their bathroom. We painted that last week.

So that is it. I will continue with the painting this month. And anyone who knows me, knows how I HATE painting, but I am determined that a little bit at a time will make a difference! So into the hall way and then the living room, doorway, etc. I will not get overwhelmend, I will not get overwhelmed. And also the fun part will be picking out new carpet for our bedroom. The carpet it disgusting and I am so excited to replace it! until the next report. . .
