New plans.

So.

I have some new plans for the new house.

If you will remember, from a post I deleted, I had big plans of building my own furniture.

still the plan.

just different furniture.

I want to make this for the front room, possibly two of them.

It seems fairly easy, with the help of my daddy. :-)

I love my daddy and his tools.

I also have more plans for re-doing the house.

I want to re-do all the baseboards like this....




I want tall baseboards. I loooove them. I like the white too, but I think that could get dated so who knows.

BTW, that is exactly the yellow I am painting parts of my house. :-)

I may want to just buy bookshelves like this instead of making them....






Basically lately, I have been getting ideas and inspirations for what I want to do.
Hopefully I have the time to do it.

The goal is to have our house exactly how I want it, before we have a baby. Meaning:

The cabinets re-done.
all the painting.
new kitchen hardware
painting the counter-tops(if Jason lets me do it)
decorating to boot.
all desired furniture in place.

the only thing I think we are really going to not worry about getting done before a baby is the hardwood floors.

So. We close on the 16th of feb. we can start painting on the 17th and plan to move on the 20th. I have enlisted the following to paint- with their consent!

Bequi Chidester
Kourtney Hales **correction** Kourtney Post ;-)
Gabby Russell.
Jason Powell.
Savannah Odekirk
Kris Odekirk.

All those listed above will need to report for duty when available on the 17th. I myself will be there at 3pm. Feel free to come then. I will provide dinner and good times.

for those of you who would like to add yourself to my list, I will do a special dance number for you.

:-)

I personally think we will be done painting by the 18th night, or 19th so I will start moving stuff then, even though Jason won't want to. I will do it by myself. :( Maybe I will just do the decorations, the fun part. :)
other then the house, our lives are normal as usual.
Jason is doing great at work and he loves it.
I love my job and I love the people so its hard to see me ever actually wanting to leave.
I will miss my young women so much it makes me cry.
We will be getting a kitten to fill the void.
oh I do need to a living room set for the front room asap, any good ideas where?

I have finished studying for my Personal Trainer exam, but I am sooo scared to take the test. Everyone at work keeps asking when I will take it and my answer is always the same, I am too scared.

ugh.

I will get over my fear, I hope. :-/

One question, who is Kourtney Hales?

You can do it - just shake off your nervousness one day, jump in, and you'll be great- especially with all the passion you have for it!
I'm loving your idea for tall baseboards. I want to replace ours so badly! They just look like the previous owner got tired of remodeling and majorly slacked off in that area.
You should check out Down East Outfitters - my psuedo Mother in law got the most amazing deal on a gorgeous modern white leather sectional

Just an FYI, my sister is getting induced the 19th and she wants me there, so if the painting goes that long I won't be able to continue.

And don't forget to remind me. I'll write it on my calendar, but I never look at it.
