Scraproom Remodel Continues

Okay, when we last posted -- we were hoping for a magic third coat of the wine-red color to finish up the wall. Unfortunately we actually needed 5 coats to get the wall finished!!! (* gasp *) The fourth coat was finally opaque enough, but we could still see the brush roller marks. So Kenny and I tag teamed it with two rollers so we could paint it faster to hopefully eliminate that problem. (When I say tag teamed it, my simple contribution was to load up the second roller so it was ready to go ASAP, not as strenuous as it originally sounds! HA!) And viola, it worked!

The wine red wall is officially finished! After moving many things back into the office and getting things arranged, I had high hopes of working on the organizational part this past Sunday. No such luck! (* sigh *) First I had a low energy day, so I was really not all that much help -- I was just getting through. Second... somehow my plan of continuing to organize the office transformed into cleaning the laundry room. I have to say, definitely not so exciting. But I think in order to figure out the best way to organize everything on this level, it had to be done. Best of all, I can now easily do laundry without doing any acrobatics (always a good thing).

Here are a couple of pictures of our newly cleaned and organized laundry room. With my lack of energy, the kids lack of enthusiasm... it is most entirely due to Kenny's effort that it has been done at all! :-)

I wish I could say that we moved on to the scrapbook room next, but alas, it was not to be this past weekend. I was literally exhausted and done for the day, while Kenny had to go out of town for a bit. So there is still a lot of organization that needs done here, but I'm S L O W L Y getting to things. Here are a few updated photos:








The new arrangement just seems so much roomier, and the new shelving units have added a lot more storage options. I just need to find the time and energy to keep going through things and continue to organize. But hopefully, I'm getting much closer to actually posting artwork instead of remodeling pictures! :-)
