Busy, Busy, Busy!

  So even before we moved into the place we have been living for the last 3 weeks I knew I would have to work on some things. There are things I don't like about it, they had a door on the bathtub and when we moved in it was not clean and covered in MOLD. So gross! The floors squeak like crazy and the green carpet has a lot of orange all over it, probably from bleach, but it still looks gross. There were spiders and earwigs everywhere. The kitchen cabinets are a horrendous color! But there are a lot of things that are tons better than the last place we lived, fenced in backyard, the kitchen is open to the family room, a finished basement for all of Annie's toys, a huge storage room, an office for Brent to study, and a room for all of my crafty stuff. So even though it sounds like I like to complain its mostly stuff that we can fix. So its ok.
   Brent took the nasty doors off the bathtub, bleached and scrubbed the walls of the shower where it was to kill all the germs cause I couldn't even go in the bathroom it was so gross and he cleaned the tub(I hate to clean the bathtub so he so kindly does that for me). Sprayed for bugs and the last thing we did was paint the kitchen cabinets. 

This is our Poop Log Kitchen, as we call it . . . 



We puttied the handle holes . . .

Sanded the doors . . .

Primed everything . . .


Did the first coat of paint . . .

and the second . . .

After 2 days of hard work it turned out pretty good . . . 

It is so much brighter and the color is much more appealing. Thanks to my mum for watching the girls for the 2 days. We never couldve done it that quickly if she hadn't.
