Got any H&G randoms?

Apparently the paint color I picked is exactly the same as the ugly tan faceplates I didn't want to put back on but did so anyways because I can't find the time to replace the outlets and switches before Monkey's birthday party next weekend. Now I'm hesitant to change all the stupid things to white. (Also, one of them said "God Bless This Family" on it and it made me laugh a little.

But I have half of them put back up.

This freaking house has 3 "front" doors. I've been wracking my brain to come up with a nice way to phrase "go to the other door" ... but it all seems hokey or weird. So instead I bought a doorbell system with three different chimes, so I know which door to answer.

My DH left the country and I did a bunch of house projects that I knew he'd poo-poo if he was home, but think he'll love once they're done. At least I hope so... I've worked really hard this week on them and am now slightly stressed that he'll hate them. He gets back tomorrow night.

The upside is that my inlaws are here in less than a week so even if he hates them, we won't have time to undo any of it before they get here and I bet my MIL will gush about them which will help my case. See, I'm thinking ahead!

(I think I've gotten more house stuff accomplished in the past 8 days than I have in the past 8 months!)

I have 4..so I feel you. One opens into my LR (the only people who use that are the J. Witnesses and random salesman). The other is in the front of the garage and most people use that. The other is in the back of the garage and on the barn side, so people for H come in that way. The other leads straight to the basement mudroom. And the most random people choose the most random door sometimes.

I'm getting used to it and they're all very functional, but if I have to catch H for something I don't always know which door to check.

Since my painter is coming soon I keep finding things that should be fixed other than my room and the doors. Today it's the inside of a couple closets. I might add those to his list. I could do it, but he can do it in 10 minutes.

H is going to kill me. He already thinks a repaint is a bit nuts, but it's my birthday present so he caved.

We're moving into the big house in 2 or 3 weeks, depending on when baby vic makes her debut! After 6 years of dreaming about this, I can't believe we're almost done (with the inside anyway. The outside landscaping hasn't even begun).
