muddling along
Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 2:31PM Well, the house is still not finished. SURPRISE. I feel like the world's biggest jerk, but I'm so disappointed that it's taken us TWICE as long to move in. It's money wasted on rent. By my original timeline, we should be well moved in now, and just unpacking. Instead, we're still without a tiled bathroom.
So we're doing small things, getting lots of other projects finished up. This week my goal is painting. Unfortunately, my little one has her first cold. She's not feeding well, absolutely hates the aspirator, and will not sleep. (And she really needs sleep.) I went so far as to turn the heater on because we've had such a cold snap the last few days, I am sure she needs to be kept toasty warm.
This cold, though, means she's a very sweet, snot-covered little barnacle, which limits the amount of painting I can do. This weekend will have to be THE weekend. I will be finished BY SUNDAY EVENING!*
Some things have happened! Like my drawer units have HANDLES. ALL in preparation for the benchtops coming in on MONDAY.
And I bought interior doorknobs, sash lifts, and window locks.
I gave the fabulous front door a prepcoat!
Bedroom 3 received the final prepcoat and now we're on to the dining room.
I scraped the ceilings, windowsills, and walls of the nook and caulked all the gaps to prepare for a prepcoat.
We chose the paint for the last room! Atlantic Mystique. It's a very oceanic house. Three of the rooms are blue, the bedroom and hallway are grey, and even Piper's room is green!
And I spent a minute just standing on what I refer to as the "laundry porch". This is overlooking my neighbor's back garden. But I like my pergola. I want to hang strawberry plants on those hooks.
And...here is my finished Nicey Jane quilt. Still needs a name! "Nicey Girls take the long way around" perhaps?
I am so exhausted. It is time to give the baby more medicine, and rock her back to sleep. We are listening to Angus Stone and trying to take a nap. Hopefully she will sleep. My poor girl.
Cheers, folks! Enjoy your midweek. :)
*I hope.

Ohhhh I love that colour. I love the whole decorating scheme you have going. And I also love the quilt! You guys must be exhausted but you're doing so well! There should be Team Poppleton t-shirts ;)
