While the hubby is away.......

Terry and his dad went to Las Vegas for the annual SHOT show that is held there. Last year when they went I tackled the laundry room and it turned out to be a HUGE undertaking. However, this year, the list was to finish painting the kitchen (DONE!!) and then moved on to our bedroom. Mom came down to help out....and make sure that I went through with it!! The more I thought about removing wallpaper border from 12' walls, painting the ceilings .....well, the more discouraged I became. However, it went MUCH better than last year's project and was done in just over 24 hours. I am not sure which I love most....the finished product or knowing that it is off my to-do list!! Thanks to Mom for helping out and to Trevor for helping me get the room back together before Terry got home!!
The brown mirror above the dresser was a garbage find by Mom many years ago. I was't too excited about putting a brown mirror back up so Mom painted it the color of the ceiling and then distressed it. So much better!
Terry was a bit worried about what he'd find when he got home as he didn't even want to KNOW what I was doing this year!! But after seeing it he asked what's on the list for next year!! Hmmm....carpet for our room?? He DID ask to at least be able to help pick that out! =-)
