We've been in our house for 3 years now and have been painting color swatches on the walls to find the right shade for the main interior walls - we finally found it almost a year ago and until a month ago only had painted two rooms in that color. My husband had also started a raised planter in the corner of our backyard that involved cinder blocks up against the fence - we literally had a cinder block garden in that corner until 3 months ago when he got them all installed. And over the last month we have finally tackled the painting on the interior - which means my house looks like a tornado hit it. We're talking beds and dressers in the middle of the master bedroom, a dresser in the hall and drop clothes EVERYWHERE! And the only reason we are finally completing these projects? To put our house on the market! I can't wait to be done and be able to come home after work and SIT.Cam & Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000005226056351897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-17884377933452899442013-05-16T12:18:09.944-04:002013-05-16T12:18:09.944-04:00Here you go Liz! :)

It all started harmlessly enough...we had a leak in the plumbing behind our vanity and it ended up soaking through and ruining the wood. Took it out, and SURPRISE! There's no tile underneath. No matching tile, so we go looking for replacements, only to find they don't make them anymore. New floor tile doesn't work with the shower tile...you get the picture. GAH! We recently FINALLY decided to hire someone to finish it all, only to find out that A.)He needs to rip most of it out and start over, and B.) He can't start until the first week in July. SO feeling your pain right about now. The upside is, your bath is really looking amazing. I can't wait to see it all finished!!Rachelhttp://www.theevolutionofmom.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-23656816791104008922013-05-12T00:16:56.736-04:002013-05-12T00:16:56.736-04:00THANK GOODNESS for people like YOU!

I LOVED the idea of taking your little man's artwork and doing powder room around color palette. I switched directions at Lowes paint counter with aqua/grey, but I kept thinking about that pop of color. Seeing this today confirms I did the right thing!
