Over Christmas break last year ('08-'09) we updated our bathroom by removing the wall paper, painting and texturing the walls, replacing the lights and toilet and removing the carpet (yes, there was carpet in the bathroom) and installing ceramic tile.
This past spring, we painted and textured the kitchen because the wall paper in that room was nauseating...and the renovations pretty much stopped there because I was pregnant and all focus shifted to getting Taryne's room ready.
So, I finally decided I am sick of looking at the wall paper in the entry and hall bathroom, so today I painted the Kilz on the walls in preparation for texture and paint. The dining room still needs Kilz, but I just didn't have the energy (or courage to stand on a really tall ladder) to mess with that today.
It is amazing to see how different the spaces look with just the Kilz even though you can see the pattern still a little in the bathroom. I will post a few "in progress" pics later...haven't had time to take those yet.
I decided that the hall bathroom needs to look a little more little girl-ish since this is now Taryne's bathroom. I haven't decided on a new scheme yet, but I want to do something that will grow with her, but won't be to crazy since it is still the guest bathroom. So...no pink princess or Sponge Bob Squarepants or anything like that...probably brighter colors on the shower curtain and accessories...
I have also been busy working on crafting and sewing projects...there is nothing like new beginnings to make you want to get a new routine and stick to it...
Speaking of new routines...we are very serious about changing our eating and exercise habits in the new year. I guess having another person to be responsible for makes you want to be as healthy as you can...luckily I started walking/running once I was cleared by the doctor after I had Taryne....changing the eating habits will be a bit trickier since I love soda and sweets...I have to admit, I do feel better after my walk/run...I just need to get it all run and no walk!
This next week is also a sad time...it marks the end of college football season...I love bowl season because I get to watch ALOT of football games, but I hate it because I believe we should have a play off system in FBS like EVERY OTHER division of football....but I have no control over that...boo! I am looking forward to the the TCU-Boise State game...should be interesting, but I think it is a bunch of crud that the BCS placed these 2 undefeated teams against one anther...I guess they were scared of another major upset like a few years ago when Boise State kicked the crud out of Oklahoma...
And of course, I am ready to watch Alabama BTHO tu in the National Championship game next week...Roll tide roll!!! Until next time...Gig'em!
