House update.

This past weekend we had a work day on the house. Brian's parents came up to help paint the dining room and other things I had on the list. The dining room color worried me a little at first. The color we picked out is called Monorail Silver. Saturday after putting on two coats it looked more blue than silver. Thankfully yesterday and today it is more silver looking. Also once I have finished painting the trim white that will help too. Once I put it back together I'll post some pictures.

Here is the list we completed this past weekend.

Paint the dining room
Strip wallpaper in entry way
Begin painting trim in dining room
Clean out gutters
Mow the yard
Start on laundry
Dinner with in-laws for Father’s Day
Paint fireplace


While this is a LOT, we still have a forever running list on the house:

Paint dining room
Paint kitchen (not finish, but halfway)
Paint hall doors
Paint hall closet
Touch up quarter rounds in hall
Paint outside of house
Strip wallpaper from floyer
Paint floyer
Pressure wash outside
Touch up cracks in living room with paint
Purchase new front door (storm & wood)
Replace all hardware in kitchen
Put up pictures in hall
Put up pictures throughout house
Scrap windows in dining room
Replace outlets in kitchen
Replace outlets in dining room
Paint trim in dining room
Change light blubs (outside)
Caulk windows in dining room
Make curtians for office
Make curtians for dining room
Purchase blinds for living room
Put up blinds in living room
Paint hall bath
Paint master bath
Hem shower curtian in master bath
Scrap windows in office

I'm hoping to get most of this done by July 11th. Maybe by middle of August we will be ready to have our end of summer patio party.
