I have gone D&R nuts

[boiler717]

Lots and lots of progress made the past two days on our bonus room, guest room, exercise room, mud room and all kinds of little projects around the house. What have you been up to lately?

[bunnymendelbaum]

Me too!
I've been trying to tie up loose ends and schedule blog posts for the first month with a newborn. I've done new window treatment in bathroom, new artwork in play/guest room, rearranged living and dining rooms, got new rugs, finished nursery, cleaned office, purged toys....
Busy busy!

I want to see photos of your progress!

Well, I've watched the first 4 seasons of Nip/Tuck since 12/20 or so. Does that count for anything? Damn Netflix. I did manage to take down most of the Christmas decor between episodes. I had big plans for the weekend, but failed miserably

My plan is to publish my blog starting NYD so I will post progress on there!! Eek!

The little projects I'm working on this week are painting the back of built ins, turning an old cabinet door into a chalkboard, making a key holder, and painting a big S for above our TV in the game room. I also have a birdcage project I'm really excited about

DH is also working on building this built-in console table thing I designed for the game room that goes behind the sectional but that will take a couple of weeks. Once SW has a paint sale we have a lot of painting to do (walls and furniture!).

Nothing new or original but all fun stuff for me!

I spent the weekend with my in laws does that count? I have some vacation time schedule in about 2 weeks so hopefully I can do lots of reorganizing/ purging

Great job Boiler & Bunny. I am more in the Juno & Sierra camp. We took down the Christmas stuff, baked chocolate chip cookie, went to Costco where I bought a really cute petal throw pillow which was pretty much my only D&R investment.
We did have our framing walk-through on Friday and got an estimated closing date. After that I made DH reserve a larger unit at the storage place so that I can buy more stuff for the future house that won't fit in the apartment. : )

My winter vacation has been pretty slacktastic. I'm back to work on Wednesday so I might take a stab at cleaning/organizing the two empty spare bedrooms on NYD. No furniture in them, but I've been using them to "sort" various items since we moved last April.

Looking forward to your blog, Boiler!!!

Well DH seems to be nesting so he's been in project mode since he started vacation on the 21st. I painted the stripes in the nursery. Then he and my parents re-did our pantry. My mom was nice enough to paint it for us.

Now I'm working on painting the doors in the nursery to match the new white trim.

Well last night as I was making our grocery list for the week, I decided to clean out our fridge. Damn we waste a lot of money in food we don't eat... And then that made me want to clean and organize my pantries, so I did that. It felt so good to clear out some of the clutter!

Can't wait to see the blog posts Boiler and Bunny!

We're making decent progress on wrapping up the upstairs stuff. Got the baby room and our bedroom trim, walls and closets 100% painted. Moved some of the living room furniture out of the kitchen and MH got all the baseboards installed in there. Got the trim in the 3rd bedroom puttied and sanded - just needs to be caulked and then painted. Hall bathroom still has some lose ends (paint touchups mostly), but is now 100% useable. Started installation on the master closet system. Got the closet doors installed.

MH is off work today - so I think he's going to try and finish up the master closet installation and the trim in the kitchen/dining area. And then tonight I'm painting trim in the living room. And then tomorrow the IL's are coming over to help some more and I'm hoping to get the kitchen/dining trim puttied, sanded and caulked and get the living room and hallway totally painted.
