Update on living room paint

with work, I find it hard to complete a project sometimes in a timely manner, as much as I would like to say I can do this all in a day, I can't, so here we are a bit later with some updated photos of the living room trim paint and wall painting

 Backfire, she truly is trying to ignore me! Every time I go to take the photo she looks down and the opposite way of where I want her to look, but you can see the baseboard and window trim is painted, it took 3 coats of paint to get it nice looking and I am pleased with it

told ya, ignoring me good

 awww mom, just get it over with already!

 stuff put back on the walls, had to close the blinds, the sun is streaming through there and all my photos were turning out too dark, almost black looking so closed up the blinds and flipped on the lighs

 I am debating on whether or not to paint the door, I want to replace it, but not sure when I will get to that, so maybe I will end up painting that front door yet

notice I have not yet bought the new light switch covers

 sorry about the spots, not sure what's up with that, must be some dust on my lens, will have to fix that before I get the camera out next time!

still organizing the book shelf

 rug trying to roll up on me, had it rolled up when painting and should have rolled it the opposite way!

yep, hmmm  have I mentioned that I don't like the doors in this house, not liking the orange at all, must really think about painting them, why not? I have enough paint and see, need new switch plate covers there too, also if you notice in the mirror LOL I have a lamp there heading to the goodwill box and you can see my wood shelf/coat rack in the hallway still needs taken down and painted behind it, so see, I don't get everything done all at once, it takes time but eventually I will get there!

Update on root cellar in basement

Ok it's been a little bit since the first starter photos of the root cellar we decided to build in the basement, but again, with both of us working we find it hard to remember to snap photos during the whole process especially when we both are hands on trying to get stuff done while we are both here at the same time to do the projects

 try not to "notice" the mess down here LOL it's still under construction and reorganizing

the door, it was free from hubbys work, they get pallets of laminate in and in order for the 2 pallets to be held together they glue on these doors, yes really they do and when they get to the bottom of the laminate, those doors get thrown away, so we got a freebie treasure and built this area with that in mind

 as soon as he put up the drywall, I got out the paint, I wanted it done because its right beside my laundry area and I hated walking through that mess to do laundry, and that laundry basket in middle of floor, that is there because just upstairs right above it, there is a linen closet outside the bathroom, I had the dear husband cut a hole in the bottom of the cabinet so I could use it as a laundry shoot HA HA and it works perfectly!

Hey~why carry the dirty clothes down if you don't have to, I mean, you have to drag them back upstairs this was just saving a trip carrying them down there

 don't mind the mess, the paint cans will soon be gone, that photo will be heading out the door, the stuff piled over there usually is stored under the steps that come down into basement, but right now I have all my boxes of canning jar supplies stacked over there until we get shelving in the new room

 do you see the inside of that door, those lines all scruffy looking, that is where it was glued to the pallets, granted I wouldn't want it for my main floor door, but its ideal for here, can't beat free!

 stepping in the doorway you can see no shelves built yet, just some spuds that are patiently waiting for me to get them out into the garden along with onion sets, and we left the shower in that corner, just in case, you just never know when you may want water in this room!

 our picking crates, and the cat, this is a new area she thinks she needs to investigate when the door is opened

just another view inside

 the silver thing in the window is insulated panel, it will keep it cool and dark in here

 told you, see all those boxes of jars that need cleaned and put away (plus some stuff we didn't put into the shed for winter that needs to go back outside), as soon as we get this stuff all put away I can get to cleaning the old floor and finish painting it - those metal shelving units were here when we moved in, they aren't the best and I keep debating on what to actually do with them

ready to can, I am, I am so ready to fill those jars instead of looking at them :)
