this house is full of half done things. it may be making me insane. i am sitting in the “office” with a broken down bed frame, a printer, some boxes of office crap, a bright green desk, a folding chair and this computer. the walls are bright white with a few patches of gray, orange and brown thrown up for consideration. in the room across the hall the sweet aero bed stays inflated and made, a stand in for the bedroom set that is awaiting a mattress. i finally put a dresser and a lamp in there so company would feel more at home. the hallways are cut in and ready to be rolled. and begging for new carpet. the dining room is a landing pad for things that don’t have homes, including a huge shelf that we have no desire to have in our home, but haven’t taken it out yet. it just sits there, collecting crap. the walls are cut in to where i can reach on my step stool. it will take both b and a taller ladder to complete the task. i hope to have it all cut in by the time i leave this weekend. my theory is that if the guys are drinking and decide they want to paint i don’t want them cutting in while drinking. rolling and drinking, that is fine with me. the living room needs a little touch up paint and then there is the unfinished wall. b has plans for covering it with stained plywood. until then we are rocking out an unpainted, not-even-all-there wall. have i mentioned that i need to clean the floors in here? white floors and wet mudpuppies. the kitchen is painted. but the table isn’t right. and the folding chairs are not quite the look i was going for. there is no art anywhere. the counters in this room may be my least favorite thing in the whole house. they stay clean for about .5 seconds. ugh.in the bedroom all the furniture is still pulled to the center of the room. it needs to be cut in again. the second coat didn’t match the first and now we have to do all the edges again. the good news is that now the carpet doesn’t look nearly as hideous.
we still have boxes and furniture in the garage.
i am feeling a little overwhelmed. i start one thing and then run into something else. and then i am side tracked. and then i feel like i didn’t get anything done all day. it is such a blessing to get away for a week where i have no choice but to get wedding crap done.
on the brighter side, how awesome is this?
off i go. i think the first task of the day will be to finish the bedroom. then we will go from there.
hope this finds you well and with less anxiety than me 🙂
ahoyfriend.
