Fixing Up Week

Our home is a bit of a fixer upper, so every few months we take on a project or two.  This last week we did some painting, of the kitchen and guest bathroom. 

They were previously a cream color and with the light paneling it was just too washed out.  Here's the before - 

So I like the gray much better.

We also replaced some of the corner molding in the kitchen and dinning room along with the floor molding pieces.  They were split and in need of TLC.  Here is the new molding we went with. 

And the big project we tackled was the bathroom in our garage. We replaced the flooring and baseboard molding.  As you can see it was also in need of some TLC.  Here's the before - 

First we had to demo.  

Which as you can see involved removing the toilet. Once we got all the old torn out, it was time to clean and start with the new.  

Here's the Work In Progress picture - 

And here are some of the finished pictures - 

 And here is the utility area leading into that bathroom.

That wraps it up for now.  In all of this there was a lot of running around getting parts and supplies.  We had to make a couple trips to Kingman to get some supplies and return some and then several trips to Lowe's and Home Depot along with a couple trips to some cabinet and counter top stores.  That being said, we have a couple other items that are in the cue to get done Kitchen countertop, new sink and faucet, but waiting for quotes.  

So I'm off the hook for now and can get back to some sewing.  I went to Lake Havasu with my friend yesterday , but I'll post about that later. 

Have a blessed day -

Number 9 + Home Work

The month feels like it is getting away from me in one way but behind the scenes I really have been getting a lot done.  Just not all is picture worthy.  
I did get another UFO finished.  This was a class that I orchestrated in 2016 while project coordinator for one of the guilds.  I had a lady come in and teach this class. When I was done for the day - I thought I wanted to make it bigger, but now that I have a round glass coffee table I like it just this size and hey - It's done and is UFO #9.  If I would get the binding done on the quit as you go and Java runner and pod cats I'd have 12 UFO's done for the year.  Hmm soon.

I also finished the top on this baby quilt that I started about 8 years ago and got it pinned ready to quilt.  

So whats not picture worthy? I've been doing a lot of deep cleaning around the house.  All the little things that sneak up on you that don't get included in the daily and weekly cleaning.  The vacuuming of baseboards and the furnace vents. Cleaning the blinds.  Basically it's spring cleaning in the fall.  :) 
We took down the lattice on the patio and replaced it with shade mesh. 

 Looking out!

Looking in! 

Then we painted the master bathroom.  
Before!

After!

Now we are getting quotes on changing out some ceiling fans and putting in new sinks. Then on our way back from our morning walk we ran into a landscaper and got a quote to get the pine tree trimmed. Did I mention our house is a fixer upper? 
That's what our "Home Work" is consisting of.  I'm sure I'll update you when that's done too. 
Have a Blessed day!  Lynn
