I have come to the conclusion that sleep is highly over-rated. After working my twelve-hour shift this morning I was completely wiped out. I laid down on our bed & I couldn't rest. I was too excited to begin our master bath's face-lift. Excited I tell you! I began taping off everything & clearing it to the bare bones. I think it had been since 2002 when we first had it painted & decorated that it had looked this empty. It seems so long ago when the ' Palm Tree ' theme was the theme. Seven years later, I think the ' Palm Tree ' has died.I wanted a fresh, simple yet elegant look to get ready to. Something that was ' grown-up '. I did my first wall & a huge wave of accomplishment came over me. I was so proud of myself for doing such a meticulous job at painting. I often feel as though I start out fine & caring where the brush is going, but towards the end I get so ready to finish & become lazy. Not this time. I was consistent in all efforts. Maybe that is why I began at around 8:30a & was finished at around 3:30p. I loved looking at my accomplishment. And the money we saved put an even bigger smile on my face. Derek had no clue as to the bathroom face-lift & I was so excited to share it with him. I truly think he thinks it's a winner. It should be a winner on costs alone! I purchased the paint & window treatment at Lowes & the accesories & signage & such at my fav...Hobby Lobby all for...drum roll paleez....$83!!! How do ya like them apples? Anywho the first few pictures are of the after & there is one little palm tree of before. It's your turn to jusdge now!
I am a non"turn or burn" Jesus lovin wife to a wonderful & patient man who I was engaged to only after two weeks (Hey, we met at a singles bible-study...I was saved,he was saved, what else is there-Ha!)and that was nine years ago.I am a mommy to my 4 y/o little guy who already has the heart of a missionary & 2 y/o little guy who, well, let's just say needs missioning to! My religion is tested everyday & that rocks! I refuse to be stagnant.I refuse to let satan get the best of me when reading fellow blogs & attempts to keep up with Jones'. So, sit back & enjoy the show. I can promise it will be bumpy, but who wants to read about perfection?I will often quote from my favorite movies, so be ready! And, if you can't say anything nice about someone, come sit next to me-wink!
