Whew...boy howdy..

Whew..I am a wee bit tired this evening..but..it's a good tired. I finally got the bathroom completely painted today, but now I have to do all the caulk work tomorrow..then clean up my mess...just a wee bit of a mess.... put paint can in garage and so forth...and general clean up/freshen up ...clean wash basin/clean bathtub/commode...the typical stuff..then hang the new shower curtain and put the decor back on the counter.

I have opted not to put anything on the walls. Want to leave those blank for marketing the house.

--------------

Tomorrow after caulking and cleaning the bathroom I aim to tackle a major clean out in the kitchen area...and then start getting the walls in that room ready for a fresh coat of brighter /darker tone of yellow in there. And I aim to add a cheery red and white gigham curtains to the windows there.

Again..that room will have all wall accesories removed and decor /very light decor on the counter only..my aim is to remove as much visual clutter from each room as possible.

But to make things look both welcoming/clean/airy/and cheerful as possible.

--------------------

Then of course the entry hall and hallway are slated for a quick makeover too. All but 3 images will be removed from the hallways..all family photos are slated to be removed and stored.

---------------------

The hallways will be painted a color called yellow squash..which is actually not yellow at all... but more of a light parchment beige color...and the trim will be a rustic barn red color. This is due to the fact that the outside of the house is painted in a light tan color called Gobi Desert and the doors are all painted in a color called Red Fox..which is a rustic red color.

----------------

I wanted to bring a bit of that outdoor color scheme indoors ..also I happen to have a wallpaper on the bottom half of the walls in the hallways that is a parchment look with apple trees on it..so I matched the colors perfectly to the wall paint.

I think it will look very nice when it is completed.

-------------------

Currently the walls are a Martha Stewart pale minty green..and well..quite frankly that color feels a bit dated.

So..a wee bit of updating was in order.

Of course there is plenty more to get done..but those are the things that are "just for starters"...ha.

---------------------------

And since the paint in the house had not been spruced up in 8 yrs..well there are areas that need touched up and so forth. So..everything is getting spruced back up and looking chipper again.:0)

---------------------

Here's wishing you all a great evening.
