"SATURDAY IS A SPECIAL DAY..."
The morning started off with a trip to Home Depot with 1/2 the family. (lol) My sisters, Dad and I all went. Dad came because he loves to go to Home Depot. We had to get special lights for the ceiling fan in the office.. - long story short... I got 4 matching ceiling fans- same serial # and all- the packaging was a little different but I figured one was just new packaging.. needless to say 2 of them have candelabra base light bulbs (small) and the other 2 have regular.. Anyway, so we got light bulbs, paint for my room, curtain rods, etc. Leah painted the front door outside black. The inside will be white.. Myrna painted the window sills in the front room and office. I taped my bedroom and painted the corners while Leah painted the walls. It's a light color- called Antique White. It's mom's favorite room because it's the lightest. She only likes white rooms. I'll have to take some pictures and add them here so you can see the colors. Kent put up the ceiling fans in my bedroom and the front room and put up two curtain rods and hung the curtains in the front room. Dad switched out the light switches to the rocking kind instead of the flip kind in the front room & office. It looks fantastic! Myrna & I put up the curtain rod in the office and hung the curtains. It looks fantastic! Myrna & I started putting the 4 book shelves I got from Big Lots together... I lucked out and Adam - my brothers friend finished them up so I could work on a different project. Anyway, the office is now done.. Myrna spotted the carpet which was really all it needed, so we put the book shelves along the longest wall. It looks fantastic. We also went through my "storage room"- the one that will eventually be the "Craft Room" - basically because we were so excited about the office we wanted to find stuff to decorate it with. While we were rummaging through everything we organized all of my stuff by room so it would be easier to find.. plus so we could see what I really have. It was like Christmas! I totally forgot about 1/2 of it. The progress is coming along slowly but surely. With the office move in ready, I'm even more excited because things are finally coming together and I can see the results. Thank goodness for every one's help! It is definitely coming along quicker because I've got help.
