in the middle of it...

or maybe just the middle of the start of it...

we are doing some upgrades here...

got Craig scrapping the popcorn ceilings...

he has done the hallway and living room...

its a mess...

but it looks so much better and will be totally awesome when its painted...

it was a tan color- the way it came...

so anxious to have white ceilings with a small bit of texture...

easy to clean texture...

the trim is going white...

so we will tape off below the crown molding and do the ceilings and that together...

then we are going a medium gray on the walls and the rest of the trim will be white...

and we will also paint a few things in a darker gray...

like the doors and odd furniture...

(just bought a piano bench for the front door entrance that needs redone)

its really great to sit and take your shoes off and on...

and I put my gloves and scarves in the bench...

we have had weather that's been all over the place...

snow covered right before Christmas...

to the 50s for the 24th and the 25th...

these photos were taken on the 25th...

the snow was 99% gone by then...

but it made travel good for people who have places to go...

so, ceilings painted 1st...

then the walls...

then the flooring will be pulled and new put down...

that could take us a couple of months to get done...

only working on it when the guys have days off...

AND...

I am giving Craig my play room area...

so he can game in there and have him computer in there....

so he can have an actual bedroom...

where he only sleeps and keeps his clothes...

so...

it is going in the kitchen where I am sitting now...

where my laptop is...

this small table is going in a corned in my bedroom...

for my make up, hair and all that stuff...

so when I get out of the shower it will all be right there for me...

and not in the kitchen...

there are several pieces of furniture to move from room to room, too...

and DH's desk is going in our bedroom also...

its in the living room and he will not keep it nice...

so I am going to hide him from view of anyone just coming in to visit...

:)

I think I have it all planned out, but you can never tell until you actually move something into place on if it will work or not...

so may have to change the plans as we go along...

you know how it goes...

will try to get pics of before and afters to post when we get done with the different areas...

we just have too much stuff!

so a lot more is going...

and that will be a good thing...

have a great day!
