Trim and Back to School

So far this morning I sent the kiddos out the door for their first day of school….Sniff

It’s weird having 2 kids at school all day.  Our Baby was NOT happy about this situation when the kids loaded the bus and left him behind (poor baby).  No worries, he has a full day of his own, Our little man goes to Speech Therapy 3 days a week for 2 hours so it leaves the house VERY quiet. 

I suppose it gives me time to do things during the day like: working out for the 1st time in 3 months (due to my laziness of sleeping in til 9:30 sometimes 10 in the Summer) and started a crock pot dinner for tonight and the hubby even made the bed today!!!! 

Phew… I feel productive today.  If only I can have as MUCH motivation I do the first day of the school for the REST of the year!!! LOL…Hummmm, we will see how that goes, ask me in a few days and I will let you know:)

My house is STILL in disarray! Aughhh. So I decided since I have NO control over my upstairs until Brett finishes the trim and the painter comes. I decided to tackle the basement instead.  (We would have been done with the upstairs trim, but Brett broke his saw so we are waiting for a part! Praise will be the day when that part FINALLY comes in the mail)!

Here are just a few before and after pictures of my the basement’s Mini Makeover.  

BTW have I mentioned “B” added trim to the basement as well???

Here is what we have done thus far,

It’s amazing what a few MDF boards and corner trim pieces can do to a PLAIN wall!! 🙂

I have been doing a little decorating, moving everything from upstairs down…

It’s not a WHOLE lot different, but I have been eyeing a round table and chairs that would be PERFECT for the space! I also want to add a hanging light fixture, it would REALLY finish off the space! 😉  

After seeing this picture, I am also making a mental note to myself: “fill the empty candy drawers!”

The wall is trimmed and READY for White paint.

 I am SUPER excited to make this my colorful Gallery wall!

I am VERY excited to get these projects DONE… Just in time to start another…Sigh 😉
