So I don't necessarily consider myself lazy...and Jesse is far far from being lazy, but it is crazy how much time a "simple" renovation takes. You start on one project, only to find another one that needs taken care of as you are fixing the first problem. Needless to say, this whole house remodeling thing is taking longer than anticipated.
I put up window curtains to show off our cool wood windows and realize how filthy the glass is on the outside and how all the trim needs to be painted. We start to take down wall paper and it tears up all the dry wall underneath... We think putting up a few walls to separate the laundry area from the bedroom area downstairs will be fairly simple and then run into all sorts of building permit problems and are still waiting for answers.
Regardless, it is still fun fixing up our home and are learning so much in the process! I never realized what a handy man I married. I am not sure if this a good or bad thing for Jesse. Good because he has a super impressed wife. Bad because I am going to be making a much bigger list of projects for him to complete :)
Check out my latest find at the local thrift store. How cute are these lights for $5?!

Let there be light! Of course there is a big red spot of paint showing where the last owners painted around the old fixture which now needs painted over, but who cares when you have a cool new light fixture?
