And then there was paint

So I've gotten the living room painted and it's been forever and a day since I posted. February has been a crazy month.

I've made umpteen visits to the doctor lately. First it started with Tyler getting Thrush, then a week later Leah ends up at the doc with a double ear infection, that was last Saturday. Tuesday I woke up and thought I was going to die, Wednesday I finally got my butt to the doctor. Strep throat and a sinus infection with the beginnings of a possible ear infection. Then to make everything even more ridiculous Thursday I had to take Tyler back to the doctor which he was diagnosed with bronchiolitis and an ear infection. So that was oh so fun.

Back to the whole point of all of this. The paint!

As I mentioned last time I had to paint one side of my living room then move all the furniture and paint the other side, one of the reasons it took so long. I have now painted everything but the front door because I need to paint it when it's open and I wanted to wait till a warm day to get that done, I think I'm going to try and do it tomorrow it's supposed to be close to 70.

So pictures!

And my couch arrived today! Soooooo excited! 

Waiting on the chair and ottoman though, they're back ordered till the 12th. Boo. 

Those are not the curtains that are going to be in here. That's a bed sheet.
 I was waiting till the couch was in to get the curtains and I think I've found the perfect ones at Big Lots.

I'm annoyed at the inconsistency of the lighting for my pictures. I swear I can't get a picture that makes everything look right. 

Now I've got to finish that front door, get the curtains up, replace all the switch covers (I couldn't find any that worked well so I'm tediously painting them all right now) and re hang all my pictures and decor. More pictures to come :)

It's been a while

It's been a while since my last update. Sorry about that, my modem when kaput and I'm waiting on it's replacement to arrive. Yay for insurance!

So since my last update I have painted exactly half of my living room. I had to do two walls at once so now I have moved all the furniture to that side of the room and am working on removing wallpaper, sanding, spackling, more sanding and painting. The whole nine.

Those closet doors gave me a horrible time. I removed them so I could paint the entirety of the door frame so it wouldn't look silly when they were opened. It took me over two hours to get those stupid things rehung. Who ever invented the bi-fold door should be kicked. Though realistically it didn't take me the full two hours because I took a 20 minute break after I got to the point where I wanted to just throw them out the back door and be done with them. I also adjusted them because they never opened right and it's amazing how well they work now.

Also, I know they look kinda bland now but I have a secret plan for that evil closet that takes up the majority of that wall, but I can't do it until I'm done sanding the rest of the room. 

So there's a mini update of sorts as I continue to transformation of my living room.
