Awkward: Situation

This week I have to take 'the ring' back to the jewelery store, why you ask? Why do you need to take a ring that's been sitting in a box back? Oh, because it's due for it's six month 'check up' to retain it's warranty. So off to the mall I'll be this week to take a ring in a box for a check up...

Nice, huh?

Final Bedroom Pictures...

Okay, another living room one, this time with better light...

Bedroom from the door...
Can you see how tall the bed is? I have to step on the footboard to get into bed!

Anyways, I'm still loving all the changes we've made, but need some serious help with wall decorations...

Final House Pictures...

Below are the final pictures of the house. We have no bedroom furniture yet, but we are looking for some...

It's like a whole new house! I am loving it! What do you think?

End of Day 2...

I'm loving the colors so much! Shari - I know you said you've seen the house through a lot of changes - What do you think?

Day 2 of Total Home Makeover...

Don't have much time, but wanted to post beginning of day 2 pics and middle of day 2 pics. I am so excited about how things are turning out... AND we got new furniture today too! Okay, off to stain, patch and paint...

Total Home Makeover...

Yeah, we got new carpet, new paint and trim! No more blue!
The carpet for our bedroom was a remanant - great price! The carpet for the living room is so pretty, it's Jewel by Camden Creek! I can't wait!
The bedroom will be Empire State by Dutch Boy - it's a very pretty grey. The living room will be Antique White with Sandy Beach Beige to replace the blue on the crown molding.
I attached some before pictures (the blue room is bedroom and the white one with blue is the living room) and one of Colton because it's too cute...

Day 4 of the Challenge...

Today was hard, not impossible, but hard. The plan called for a 5-10 minute walk, followed by 2 minute run/1 minute walk -5 times, then run/walk for 1 minute each times 5, with a 5-10 minute cool down. I am very proud of myself for actually doing it and doing it by myself.

14 more days to race...
