Before and In Progress Photos

Hello to my wonderful

Blogging Sisters.

I've been very busy this last week.

Working on our cottage bungalow every day

and putting in 8 to 10 hours each day.

 But, not too busy to take some before and in progress photos.

I will be so happy when I can finally post after photos :)

Here you can see some progress in the living room.

This is the before photo.

This is a small bedroom closet, I used a lot of leftover paint and had fun with it.

The shop roof needed repair and the front porch roof needed replacing . . .
this was a job we had to hire out.

At our ages, we have no business crawling around on roofs.

We'll leave that to the young folks :)

This is the mud/laundry room before and in progress.

I have been skipping around from room to room, 
giving the paint in each, time to dry before adding another coat :)

This paneling is requiring two coats of primer and three coats of paint.  
It's like painting a room 5 times.

I am getting so tired of painting.

My Sweet Steve has been painting the ceilings,
each night after he gets off work.

These are some old knobs that I have picked up, here and there through the years.

I painted them all white and added them here.

This is the before photo.

I only worked  4 hours on Saturday and Easter.

It was great to have time for family and rest.
It was great not dressing in my paint clothes, too :)

Saturday afternoon I went to my niece's baby shower,

and on Easter we had dinner at Steve's sister's home. 

 This little hamper/bench was something that I found at "Ross For Less",

also a set of bedroom lamps, aren't they pretty?

As you can see we have been very busy.
Poor Steve only has the weekends and evenings, 
after work, to work on the house, 
but he's taking a few days off at the end of this week.
Hopefully we can get light fixtures and the kitchen exhaust fan up,
and tear into the bathroom :)

Have a lovely week,
thank you for your prayers :)
My back has been doing pretty good.

KEEP SMILING!

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
