Sense of Accomplishment

Summer vacation is quickly winding down... it has gone by way too fast. However, I can look back and see that we got an awful lot accomplished. In fact, it's really amazing at what we've been able to do in such a short time. Here's a short list of the rooms that we completed this summer:

• Upstairs Bathroom
• Master Bedroom
• Walk-in Closet
• Guest Room

Still in progress: Kitchen (sigh...)

Rooms to Complete (besides the kitchen, which WILL, I repeat, WILL be complete before I go back to work):

• Parlor (Decorative painting technique with multiple beiges)
• Dining Room (Color wash over current color... the paint color just looks too flat to me)
• Stairway and Landing (Paint... probably a neutral beige color... definitely NO decorative painting technique)
• Downstairs Bathroom (Caulk cracks in beadboard, paint walls, replace light fixture, and install new flooring, and, oh yeah, paint ceiling)
• Utility Room (paint... no big hurry on this one)

OK, so now I know how I'll be spending my Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving Break, and Christmas Break, and most likely, every weekend in between.

I REALLY need a vacation, no I mean a real one... away from this house! (I'm still smiling, though...)
