It has been another busy Sunday. We got the rest of the carpet pulled up and even got some of the paneling off the wall in the dining room area. Will probably work on the rest of it this week after work. I am really thinking this project may be bigger than I had hoped. Seems we are finding some of the sheetrock under the paneling is finished with a texture and other is just bare drywall that has been taped. But, we are going to have to sand and retape most of it anyway because there are so many holes in the sheetrock! While I was at Home Depot getting some things last week I picked up some color cards for us to start picking out a paint color. Unbelievably, we both really like the same color!! I am thinking while we are painting anyway, I am going to paint right down the hallway too... but I am thinking that will be a different color form the same color palette. I am also thinking about trying to find a sponge or stamp in the shape of a paw print that I can use to do a boarder around the top 8 inches of the walls... I am really liking how clear things are with most of the "stuff" that has been packed into the living and dining room out of here. I am thinking about selling the computer to get a laptop so we don't even have computer desk in the room any more. Mayebe even get a dining room table to be able to sit down to meals... no, probably won't go that far. Just would like to keep things less cluttered in the room. Oh, the other projects I would like to tackle - but probably not until next summer - would be to refinish the kitchen cupboards and repaint the bathroom.
Well, we need to get ready to feed the dogs for tonight... Sable has started barking which indicates it is past 10 pm and she is hungry!!
Check back for more updates soon.
