Wow...what a day..

Sorry no pictures yet.

Hall bathroom...

• New shower curtain
• Lined drawers and cabinet
• New shelf (put together but not hung yet)
• Painted the old spot from towel holder (previous owners painted around it and left a BIG RED dot)
• Washed new towels and set up bathroom
• Donated old towels

Still to do...

• Hang shelf
• New pictures
• Organize counter space
• ENJOY!!!

Then...the bad part.
I was looking for something, the shed was locked, I called J and he told me to stand on a bucket to reach something.  I stood on a bucket (that was filled with oil) and fell in the bucket.  UGH!  Then while I was rinsing my leg off, the hose busted.

It was rough!

More Organization...

So, I love lists and I've got a spring cleaning list and a normal "to do" list and both of them include going through our closets and dressers and reorganizing them all.

Well today I finally finished.  Our closet now looks like a nice closet.  My clothes are organized by color.  Tops on top, bottoms hanging from the bottom!  Shelves have canvas containers holding all need things!  It's so nice.

{Picture to come}

Yay for organization!!!

Also yay for donating!  All clothes that don't fit, that we don't wear, or we just don't like anymore are all in bags being donated to the church!

Things I'm Loving

So today I'm loving a lot of things...

• My dad--Today he turns 50! I love Mom too!
• Sam's Club!--J and I stocked up the house today!
• Shaving Sassy (I didn't get to do her underside but she loves it and I think it's already cut down on the pet hair tumble weeds)
• My husband--Last night I had to go to a musical performance for school and he came with!  It was a great performance but it was nice that he came also.
• My garden of blooming flowers.  I love all of them.  Some plants my grandmother gave me so I wasn't sure what they would look like and it's a great surprise to see them!
• Cleaning--I've made a list for spring cleaning, I've made a list for things I'd like to do to our house.  And today...I'm cleaning!
• Donating--I'm going through our closet.  It's a horrible process (mostly because I can't fit in a lot of the clothes and I'm just giving them to others)  But they need it.  We're donating to the church so that makes me feel better.
• Getting rid of things--Today I went through the buffet drawers.  It's really a dresser but I refinished it....I went through all 6 drawers and cleaned a lot of stuff out.  I'm working my way around the house!
• Organizing--I started with the freezer, then fridge, then pantry.  Kitchen is done!  Dining room...done!  Living room...done!  Guest bedroom...done!
• Master bath...done but want to add a shelf
• Hall bath--done organizing but want to paint and hang new shower curtain
• Office---It gets done and then I have a project.  I'm determined though.
• Master bedroom---why do I put this off?  Is it because no one sees it?  I don't know but it's the next project!

Wow....a post of nothing, of everything, of me rambling on and on and on some more!

Have a great weekend!

Another Thursday

Right now isn't the best of times since my neighbor has a friend blaring from a running truck outside of our window.  Ugh!  I just wanted to take a nap because I've been so busy lately.

I do have a lot for school to do..

• Research paper
• Questions
• Extra points paper
• Final Comp Project

This weekend I had some home projects but it's supposed to rain so now I don't know what I'm going to get to finish

Outside...

• Paint rocking chairs
• Re-paint flower pots
• Water flowers on porch
• Plant veggies

Inside...

• Order curtains
• Go through closet
• Donate clothes to church
• Organize closet
• Go through dressers
• Organize cabinet under bedroom tv
• Laundry
• Grocery shopping
• Organize office

So I guess I have a lot to do.  Wow!  Last night I cooked roast, mashed potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls, and apple dessert! We invited another couple over to eat. 
I took the advice of Katie from HyperHomemaker and made sure everything was picked up before we went to bed.  This morning it was so nice to wake up and just get ready and leave.  I've been trying to keep our house ready for drop in guests also!  It's so nice!

The Next Project..

The hall bathroom.
My plan...

• Paint (mix white with blue from master bath)
• New shower curtain (still looking)
• Replace towels (already have light green color)
• Cabinet/storage
• Mirror

Yay!  new plan....maybe soon I'll have time!!

Always learning about my husband...

This is the "everyday" items that my husband thinks he needs.  For real?  4 deodorants? My goodness, maybe he has a sweating problem! Nope, just doesn't want to put it in the cabinet. 

SO I did it for him...
Now it fits nicely in the container without over flowing!!!!!!!

Master Bathroom: It's Finished...{For Now}

Ok. So the color is a grayish/blue.  It looks so much more bright blue in the pictures.  I'm not crazy!  It's really pretty!
{Excuse the UGLY light.  It's going to be replaced...One day!} {A white cabinet will be over the toilet to house the cleaning wipes, etc} {Don't yet know which pictures to put in the frame, but the frame is covering some spots in the wall}

It's Painted!

Finally, I found time to paint the bathroom.  It's a pretty grayish blue and I love it.  J likes it.  He said he likes it even more because he didn't have to do it.  {He hates painting}  Today I get to put everything back in it's place, hang the curtains, and find a shelf/cabinet that I like!!

Looks good, pictures soon!

I Really Want Somethings

The above picture is from an ebay seller noiseunion who makes these.

Pottery Barn has them and I've been eyeing them for above our couch!!!

This is from Pottery Barn.  I think this is a great idea and I think it might be my next project for my office!!!

This photo "riser" is cool because then you can get effects like these...

This wall is great!!!!  One day, one day!!!


I think these frames are great because they are different and simple while being so pretty and classic!

This is my dream organization system!!!

The Office

So I've been trying to get the office organized and here is the start of it.  The desk was free and I re-finished it and replaced the hardware.  DH and I put the shelves up and I added all my organization stuff.  I'm determined to keep it that way.
Here's a close up of the organization stuff.  Boxes to help keep stuff together and binders for all my school stuff! 
My shelf with organized bins and lots of picture frames!
J made this book shelf and we've started layering the books on.  Most of them are school books, of which I need to list online to sell!
Then there is my sewing/extra desk (with old chair).  And the peg board that I spray painted and still need to hang out the wall above this desk!   And the curtain that I sewed!
Just a few extra details, my latern lamp on the desk and my new picture frame that I want to put a spring picture of the hubby and I in!

Cleaned Corolla!

So it was TIME to clean the car.  I washed the outside, the inside, and vacuumed everywhere!

Here is what it looks like now.  Excuse that paper.  I've got a coozie and a container with anti-bacterial wipes in the cupholder.

In the back seat...nothing!

And the trunk has an umbrella, an organizer with different types of shoes that I need during the week (farm, work, school, rain, etc), and a jacket because it's Louisiana and weather can change any minute!

Sunday Accomplishments

Well at first my day started off badly.  James is sick (feeling better now though), stores didn't have the flowers that I want/need for the front, I couldn't decide what to do with our new rocking chairs, and the weather wasn't look so great.

But turns out, I got a lot done today and it's only 330pm!
