And more painting...

We've been able to power through a couple rooms over the last week or so. Our bedroom, second bedroom (which we're going to be calling the library/music room), the third (really really small) bedroom aka the technology room aka the room with all the computers, the living room, dining room and finally started on the entry. What a mission!

Thanks for the help Hamish!!

More painting!

I should be posting more, but the exhaustion from so much painting has been kicking in. We have been working full speed to get the rooms painted that we need before the furniture arrives... which is finally today!! 

So before, our bedroom was a weird yellow colour with pretty depressing green trim. Every room in the house has windows similar to these too. The have been a chore and after I doing this set, Jacob was sweet enough to do the rest. I'm a bit of a perfectionist with these sorts of things. Even though the windows are 3 meters up, they had to be perfect... Yeah, this room took us a week. Once Jacob took over, we've been able to bust through the rest of the house. Thank you my darling hubby!

And After...

The light fitting was found in the window seat!

This is when we were still sleeping on the floor. 6 weeks of camping mattresses...

*in four

Soon!!! as in four more sleeps!!!

I'm so excited to see Sunny Day Real Estate. I can barely contain myself. J and I were listening to some old stuff and driving back from the Vic Markets this morning... stopped at a light, I started doing the happy dance behind the steering wheel - very excited!

I've also been listening to Jeremy Enigk's new LP OK Bear. Of course I think it's great. It's been a while since I've heard anything new by him, so I'm stoked. It's a lovely bunch of tunes. His voice is just so soothing to me for some reason. The sound of him and Sunny Day has always had a good effect on me.

I've had a nice day just doodling some new ideas, answering a few emails, writing, de-stressing from the Rose Street Market, and listening to good tunes and the sound of J building me a new shelving unit for my office. Can't wait to get more organised in here. I'll be able to hopefully feel comfortable in here again and not have to walk over things and around my bike everytime I attempt to get a pencil.

 On an odd note... I've been dreaming about...
