Oh My God....

We have actually made progress and have pictures to prove it! Enjoy...

No more purple bathroom...behold the silver metallic paint that I finally committed to!

The guest room walls are no longer covered in putty-filled holes! Final pictures to come on this room...



And no more purple in our bathroom...we really branched out and went with a brown/gold color...



And for the grand finale...THE VENETIAN PLASTER! Disclaimer...this is only the first coat, so it will look more polished when it is completed. And who wears short shorts - obviously me!


And one more small improvement - no more kitchen ceiling fan! Yay!

Things are finally taking shape - now the next task is to get rid of the Hobby Lobby dining room table and get some decor put up...stay tuned for more pictures!

The Redemption of Rent-A-Center...

So, blogging, while a very useful tool to keep friends and family up to date of our progress and useful to bash those who do us wrong, can also be a little dangerous...

My post about Rent-A-Center was apparently viewed by a RAC employee...ouch. Good for me, but bad when I have to go in and see them face to face. Not that my story was untrue or over exaggerated (as I am famous for)...but still, you get my point. So I must retract my previous post, because they did right by me. They refunded my money and went above and beyond to make sure that I was a happy customer. Kudos to Mike and Chris...just in case you are reading! :)

So no more talk about RAC. I promise. :)

Shane and I are going to be working on the house hot and heavy this weekend...seriously this time. We have got to get into a routine and get stuff put up and away if we ever want to have anyone over! Hopefully we will have pictures from this weekend of some of our progress...just pray that we have progress! Those Lifetime movies can just suck you in....
