Weekend Chores

This weekend was busy!

We got a lot checked off of our "to-do" list, though. Mostly because Kevin came to help!

Here's what we did:

I "decorated" the wall above my scrapbook table. Though I actually did this a while back, but this weekend I finally got the Christmas tree up in the attic and out of this room to be able to take the picture, lol.

Implemented my new clear shoe boxes from The Container Store!

This is step one in beautifying my closet. I'm determined to make it as well-decorated as a regular room;=)

New lighting!! Now if only my curtains would come in quicker...

Entry

And living.

Next on the agenda is filling in that big cubby where the TV is (to the left in the photo) with a nice built-in. Also need to paint the guest bath.

And as I've said before, these chores will all be completel roughly 1-2 years before we realize we don't want to live here anymore! Haha!

Spring Break/Spring Cleaning

Our weekend was VERY laid-back. Quite nice, actually.

Friday we got pedicures, Saturday we had breakfast at Panera Bread (YUM) and did some shopping at Lowe's for the house.

After 2 years of living with the monstrocity that is this:

We have decided to update our lighting. And no joke, that is the exact same fixture in our dining room. We have a coordinating drop fixture in our entry and the ceiling fan in the living is in the same lovely shade of '80's gold.

So, this is what we will soon have:

this one for the dining

This basic style for the entry, but the scroll work will be like the above for the dining. I got tired of looking for the exact match on the internet;=)

And this is very similar to the fan for the living room.

We also bought new lanterns for the outside at either side of the garage, but if you've seen one lantern, you've seen them all! There wasn't a lot of variety.

But I have to admit, the thing I am most excited about are these bad boys:

I ordered a case of clear shoe boxes from The Container Store. I'm soooo excited about beautifying my shoe storage! But fear not, I do NOT have a hideous pair of CPA shoes to store like the ones pictured above;=)

The rest of the weekend was pretty relaxing. Bill golfed Saturday and Sunday after church. I got a facial on Saturday and then we had some friends over. I did not take pictures as I was red and bumpy from said facial. But it was worth it!

Well, I must begin my Spring cleaning/organizing! Have a great week!
