Sunday

Today Anthony made me wake up early so we could do more painting. I really thought I was a hard worker with lots of energy, but after two days (Friday, and Saturday) I was exhausted. My hands hurt from all the painting and I am sore everywhere. I don't know how Anthony has worked so hard on this place during the week while going to work the other days. I don't think that I could do that!

So we painted two coats of green in the living room/kitchen today. I have to say it looks vei nice. As I struggle to paint one wall, Hulk has completed three in the same amount of strokes. It isn't fair, doing home improvement stuff with a superhero. We also painted the ceilings in the bedroom, living room, bathroom and foyer. That was also a trip since I could barley reach the ceiling with the extended roller brush,... so again, I get one third of the way across the ceiling and Hulk has finished the rest! I thought painting the walls was rough, but it turns out ceilings are worse, since you get paint all over your face and in your eyes.

The bathroom needs to be primed, painted and basically re-done, but that would be another project in and of itself. I want a new medicine cabinet/mirror/vanity thing, so we are still on the look out for one that fits our wall. The current one in the bathroom is gross, and the hole in the wall behind it is equally so. I did patch some holes in the wall today in the bathroom, so hopefully we can paint it and make it respectable soon enough.


This is the green in the living room. We are keeping the foyer white. I thought the green would be a bit much, and the white provides a nice contrast (and I wont have to hem and haw over another paint color)
The new wall for the bar is on the left, and we bought wainscoting for the outside of the bar this weekend at the Depot.

Kitchen cabinets and wall painted.

The track lighting for the living room/bar. Anthony did a fantastic job of picking it out.

Track lighting in the kitchen.

Anthony's staple- Dunkin Donuts iced coffee and breakfasts. Though I am not complaining because its one of my favorite parts of the weekend too. (But no donuts!!!)
