before & AFTER

Ok, I have really been getting things in order around the house. Although I have been working 6 days in a row and this is so different from any normal job, as I am gone for 6 days straight. I had one day off yesterday and I am gone for another 5 days starting in a few hours. My one day off is always the same; unpack, do laundry, re-pack, eat a real home cooked meal, kiss tony goodbye and I am off again. Luckily next month I have a somewhat regular schedule; 4 day on, 5 off, 3 days on, 4 off and so on. I have a lot to do before the wedding, as I want to get the house perfect before everyone gets to town!

We have gotten 3 out of the 5 rooms painted and designed how we want, so far. The living room is Polaris (gray/blue), the kitchen is Rolling Hills (avocado/lime), and our bedroom is Coffee and Sky Gray (self-explanatory). The Bathroom will be sea foam green eventually, once we decide whether the cabinets are staying or going. As for the other bedroom, I am thinking something really crazy like fuchsia, but I don't know yet.

Here are our before and after photos of the rooms so far...

Nothing is completely finished yet, but it looks so much better than when we first started, but you can get a feel of how the house will look when it is going to be perfect! It might seem to take forever, but it has to be done in 6 weeks.

The next huge tackle will be the back yard! It is so awful, but luckily Tony's dad had 2 extra weed-eaters and we get one! Once you see the pictures, you will understand our plight to whack it all down and start fresh...




Yes, that's a 6-foot privacy fence and yes, the weeds are up to 3 feet high. Stupid rainy weekend and too much sunlight. When we walk to the gate in the back, through the jungle, all the weeds pollenate on your pant legs and tint everything green. Great for Tony's allergies!

Good luck, right? HELP!!
