let the games begin!

Here we go... we are ACTUALLY going to do this stuff.

1. This weekend we got wood floor samples.

2. This weekend we also got quotes from 2 painters for scraping our 17 foot popcorn ceiling, and painting that same room. (more quotes coming later this week)

I will continue to update as we embark on our first major home project!! I am excited, anxious, nervous, and I am going to try and remain calm and not take out all of my stress and frustration on David.

Next step for this week is to clean up the other rooms so we have a place to move the furniture while the living room becomes a mess. I will take 'before' pictures, too.

new year plans

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOWELL & LOUISE!!

Two years ago today, we opened our etsy shop. It was a little idea to keep the creative juices flowing... kind of like this blog is for me. Something to provide accountability for us to keep thinking/designing/creating.

We definitely neglected the shop in order to focus on planning a wedding, and taking some pretty awesome trips in 2011. This year, I aim to get back on track. There will be plenty more sewing projects and I intend to keep the shop more updated and looking spiffy.

Apart from Lowell & Louise, we have a LOT of house projects planned for 2012.

*scrape popcorn ceilings

*paint great room

*wood floors on first floor

*back yard detached studio/office

I have already started a wall treatment for the upstairs vanity, and I have several other small interior decorating projects coming up soon. 2012 is off to a great and creative start!
