I Did Some Work

If you’re my friend on facebook or flickr, you’ve already seen this stuff. But I think some of my blog friends aren’t on facebook or twitter, and, well, I don’t want to deprive them of the fascinating and not at all boring adventures of our reacquaintance with home ownership.

Did you all have a nice Mother’s day whatever? Are you all enjoying my birthday month? I hope so, because I have a present for you. Remember when the basement looked like this:

Now it looks like this:

I painted it and now it never gets messy ever. That’s how you know I’m a good mom.

Ok, technically, it looks like this right now:

But it’s not my fault a Bitty Baby factory exploded all over it. I don’t know why there’s a hammer on the floor. I’m a little bit concerned about that.

I know the rug doesn’t go with the room, but it’s covering up the burn marks from when the vandals tried to burn it down, so I guess it has to stay. I also finished the basement bedrooms. Liberty’s:

I had to add a couple more dots yesterday, though, because when I moved the furniture back, it covered some up and made it look like there were too many dead spots. So there are now a couple of dots to the right of that window:

I finished Lena’s room, too. Here’s her favorite wall:She chose a different color for each wall, with peace signs on just the yellow. Here are the other walls:

Apparently, you can’t click them to big them up, but oh well.

It’s not all beautification around here, though. Bryan threw this bathroom away over the weekend:

The shower in it (what, no picture? I don’t know why.) was all moldy and grosser even than the toilet and sink, so it’s all ripped out now. Because we throw ugly away in this house.

Oh my goodness, did you fall asleep? Me too. I’m sorry there’s nothing happening in my life right now besides this house. I’ll try to make this next bit a little more sexy and fascinating for you, through liberal use of exclamation points. Ready? Here you go:

You won’t believe what I get to do now! I have to go clean the mold! Off of the walls! In the yucky bathroom!
