We're almost there with the den! I need to hem the new curtains and finish painting the mantle and put up a few pictures. Our garage is a bit emptier but still has a bunch of junk LOL. I probably will finish the mantle tonight. Then I'm onto the dining table and kitchen. I'm pleased with how this came together and am not freaked about all i have to accomplish before ds's party! Catch you all later!

Well we're getting ready for Jack's party on saturday and boy do i have TOOOOO much to do!!!?!?!?!?!?!? We're really cramming to get this den finished and put all the furniture back in there. Then we'll have our garage back and our living room!! I'd feel alot better as so as we can put everything back then i can breath easy and focus on the decorations and party planning. We definitely waited to the last minute to do the trim work in the den. But we really needed to wait for the assistance of someone with experience I don't think DH would have been able to finish nearly as quickly.
DH was able to power wash the front steps, both back patios and the deck yesterday morning while it sprinkled on him. I'm praying and believing for his health, specifically not to catch a cold. (He loaded up on vitamin C.) But boy do those babies look great!!! I taped up the base boards and around the doors. Then he sprayed the back and front yard with mosquito killer which we really needed to do!! Last weekend we were eaten alive! He also hooked up the mosquito catcher/lamp/thingy and ran that so hopefully we'll have a bucket full of dead bugs to empty!
After Jack went to bed and we ate dinner I primed the door surrounds and the patio doors and ken taped off the floor. We're not worrying about the crown right now b/c that can wait until after the party. Although I might add the mantle to the list of to-dos bc it looks like crap right now with everything else looking so great. We'll see...dh might go bonkers on me!
Of course for whatever reason i'm fixated on working in my office and decluttering in there when that has nothing to do with our deadline??? I keep having to focus and work on things that are really pertinent. Tonight we paint the base boards and doors.
Tomorrow on my day off I'm thoroughly cleaning the guest bathroom and kitchen. (It should last until saturday) I can just touch up on the day of the party. Dh's mom's birthday is on saturday and I wanted to get her a gift...the same gift i was going to get her for mothers day but never got around to it. Which involves me getting some pictures printed.
I need to get Jack's cake topper made too Rosie & I are going to do that. Ack!! TOO MANY THINGS TO DO AND SOOO LITTLE TIME
Well I need to get to work now...catch you later!!

Not sure if I had shared previously that DH and his boss put in some laminate flooring in the den a while back. We had pulled up the base boards to install the floor well we decided to replace them with some larger ones and to paint them white. With replacing them we could get primed boards and not have to prime and paint dark wood. well if we're changing the base to white we'd have to change the crown...since the previous installation was not so great we decided to replace that too and go around the fire place.
So that brings me to this weekend dh and our friend Jeff worked on the trim work and wow what a difference you can't really tell from these pictures but if you were here and saw it in person you'd love it! So we've got to paint the patio doors and the trim and we'll be all set. Oh yeah and replace the mantle with a white one...or paint this one we'll see which. Here are the in progress photos. Of course dh was excited to get to use the nail gun and now wants one. Of course there really isn't anything to use it on LOL.
