So when Scott asked for some more projects to do, I definitely found some for him. He made great progress on our laundry room last weekend. It's really hard to tell in the pic below, but the paint color is this lovely baby blue-green shade...it looks wonderful with the dark gray appliances and the white cabinetry. We bought a shelf/rod combo to hang above the washer/dryer, and a butcher block countertop to finish off the cabinetry. I'm not sure if we'll keep the butcher block the natural color or stain it the same gray that we have on our basement shop room cabinets. I think the gray would look nice but, we'll have to see how it all comes together.
We also hired someone to paint our main floor walls, up the stairwell (that's a REALLY high ceiling) and the upper landing at the top of the stairs. At the last minute, we decided to add our bedroom into the quote. That means the only rooms that aren't painted, and are still the flat builder's paint, is our bathroom, the kids' bathroom, and the guest room. We can tackle those at a later date. The painter will be starting this coming week, so we (ahem, me) had to pick out paint colors. I felt woefully unprepared, but came up with two colors that will work well together (DutchBoy Breakwall and Monks Robe...both greige-y, and in the same family...Monks Robe is darker so we'll be using that as an accent wall in the family room, and an accent wall in our bedroom.) I'm excited to see our walls look fresh and clean...and not all beat up like they currently do.
It was fun to spend an hour+ with Scott at Menards, without the kiddos. They only called us once during that time, so it really felt like a day date. Yay!
Both kids had great weeks at school. Nothing too exciting happened that I can remember...so that's a good thing. Oh wait...G lost another tooth! It's been really wiggly for a while and he finally just yanked the darn thing out. He advised that he was going to setup a camera to catch the Tooth Fairy, but I think he forgot to...or couldn't figure out how to do it. Regardless, the TF came and left another gold coin for him.
I made a few different recipes this week that were SO good. Raspberry Love Muffins (raspberry chocolate chip) for breakfast, and a lasagna soup for dinner. Oh my goodness, that soup was amazing! It is definitely going into the rotation for meals that I can whip up. YUM!
Not much else to tell...it was a long week for both Scott and me, so we were happy to see it come to an end. Hoping for another relaxing end to this weekend, so we're ready to go for Monday's work day!
