Side by side before and after

Here's the newish bed with the new paint and a new comforter. We still need some crown molding up. It was nice not to sleep on the floor again.

More images of the rest of the room are on Flickr.

We were stoned, immaculate

We put down a coat of polyurethane on the floor today. It was oil based and since it was 45 outside, I didn't open a window. About an hour into the project I was high as a kite and the bear kept asking me why I was acting funny. I let him finish it up. I generally stay away from oil based paints because of this reason but wonder if I have a hidden addiction to paint fumes since I constantly find myself painting something. Perhaps I should look into it....

I'm hoping the bear will make this for me for my birthday

Another fun project

The headboard, or crazy 88s as I like to call it. Found it at a thrift store for $15. Used the wall paint for the color but had to purchase some polycrylic to top it off. We'll see how it looks with the platform. Keep in mind that it's a king sized head board and I drive a Honda Civic Hatchback. The bear rode dog that day.

More house photos

This is what we've been working on.

Into the garbage chute, fly boy

I can't wait until this request comes in! She's also selling t-shirts on her promo site.

A big frackin' mess

We decided to paint the bedroom about a month ago which led to us having to have the house jacked up. Two sills needed to be replaced and some piers have been built. We knew it was coming, but we were hoping to save up some cash before doling it all out to the contractors. There was also a plumbing leak that was fixed today. I've been posting photos on Flickr. Just look in the 804 set.

I painted the bathroom on our snow day. It's the left color now. It was oops paint and only cost a buck.

A little something for spring

New dress from a vintage pattern and fabric. I finally shaved my legs for the season and just realized how white they are. My mother would be disappointed.
