Home Renovations




When Jeremy and I bought this house we were excited to be able to do a little hands on comsetic fix-up. Well, we quickly realized that's not really our deal. So we worked on the house for about three weeks straight before the "fixing" began to tapper off. You might ask why I would take a picture of my ceiling??? Well, we thought it would be a great idea to scrap off the old popcorn ceiling to make the room look more modern. That ended up being a disaster and thankfully Jesse was able to fix that mess for us. Apparently you can't scrape off your ceiling unless you intend to re-float it. Of course all that was done with the intent of painting our bedroom walls and ceiling. Unfortunaltely we sort of ran out of steam before we quite made it to the paint part. So since August of 2006 I have had painter's tape covering the crown molding in my bedroom. I decided enough was enough and I'm determined to get that tape down soon. We're not quite there but we are making progress. Hopefully I'll be posting the finished picture soon.

Thank goodness we're not the only ones! Lon painted the upstairs a few years ago, but never got around to finishing up around the fixtures, etc... I'll have to hire a professional to paint the whole house properly before we can put it on the market!
