What was I thinking????

....this is how I am spending my days....

We finally hired people to come and redo two of our bathrooms. My youngest child was a sweetie and peeled what we "thought" was the paint off of the downstairs bathroom wall. Well, it turns out that there were a few layers of wallpaper underneath the paint so that all had to be scraped off.

While we were at it...we figured we would have the upstairs hall bathroom redone. It was a really dark color and I never liked the finish but had not gotten around to repainting it. Oh, and why not add my oldest child's bedroom ceiling to the list? (The installer from the satellite company fell through her roof when he was accessing cables through the attic and my husband patched it but never completely fixed it.)

Sounds like a good idea, right?

Well, little did I know that it would all be done AT THE SAME TIME.

That is right---TWO out of order bathrooms and one bedroom that is out of order makes for fun times.

Now the kids either have to use the restroom downstairs in my stamp room (which has NEVER had so much traffic) OR our master bathroom.

And now I am REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping my son doesn't do his typical "sleep pee" tonight...or he might walk smack into one of those ladders :) (or, God forbid, pee on one of them!)

Here are the bathrooms now (and I will be sure to post pictures after they are finished!)



and...here is my daughter's bedroom ceiling. Ekk....
I hope to have a tutorial up very soon for a fun Heart FELT project.
Thanks for stopping by!

One day at a time Cammie, one day at a time...just think about how wonderful it will be to have it all finished at once!

I'm thinking that I need to hire these guys to do some work at my house....
Wait...would that require me to get the house cleaned first, so that they have room to mess it up?!

Nevermind

Ooh! I feel your pain, Cammie. We recently re-did our upstairs hall bath and our master bath -- i mean totallygutted and started over! We did have the good sense to do them one at a time (had to since they have the only showers in the house) but they were done back to back. I thought those workers had become part of our family! It was a big pain at the time but TOTALLY worth it! Good luck! Hope they finish quickly!

WOW!! You are ambitious. I’m certain you will love the end results. We did something similar and the thing I remember the most is DUST!! Not just any old dust, but ULTRAFINE DUST. It was everywhere. Have fun shopping for the new accessories that you know you will have to have when the work is completed:)

Oh that doesn't sound fun at all...best of luck! In the end it will be so worth it.
