One of my goals for my maternity leave was to finish our basement. I started to paint it while I was pregnant, but my legs and feet didn’t like it. (They would swell to unpleasant sizes.) And if I am going to be honest… I lost my drive and energy! : )
Well my drive and energy came back in full force at the end of last week and I dug up my paint brushes and rollers and decided to finish this project off before I go back to work. This way I’ll have a fresh work environment! Plus I’ll have a “play room” for Mally.
Today my Mom came over to go garage sailing… except we only found 2 garage sales!! We didn’t have enough shopping so we decided to head into the city… and we would look for garage sales on the way! ; ) Um… we found Walmart!! She was my personal interior decorator and we found so many fun things to finish off my project!! I am too excited about it so I have to share with you…
The wall on the left is the before. The wall on the right is what I am painting. I have that wood all the way around the room and this house has too much wood for a girl in her 20s!! I decided to paint it! Right now I have all the wood painted and the room already looks and feels brighter!
We got curtains, curtain rods, pillows, a throw blanket, blue accessories… all at Walmart! Who knew you could decorate your house at Walmart!
Yes, we are still working on that bathroom project. My goodness, I never would of guessed that would of taken 7 + months! Our tile is suppose to be here tomorrow!! Once the tile is installed we can put in the sink and put the faucets on the tub… and I think it will be functional!
Alright, I must go wake up my snoring baby! For some crazy reason I stopped doing my “dream feeding schedule” because she extended to 3 hours – so I thought she didn’t need it anymore. Wrong-o! This whole week she has been a restless sleeper. Last night I unconsciously did the dream feed schedule and she slept awesome!! Seriously – my pregnant friends out there – Use this!! Feed them at 6, 8 and then at 10! The 10 feeding they should be really sleepy and almost sleep threw the feeding!

Yay a house update:) I was just wondering how some of those projects were coming along. I can't wait to see how your basement looks once your done. Great color choices too. Seeing so much wood panneling in houses always scared me, now that I know that it can be painted and actually look fantastic I won't be so scared anymore. Great job Connie and Lynn:)
