singin’ in the bathroom

mathew has been in new york this week visiting his brother and hanging with the guys at another one of those crazy destination bachelor parties. he made sure to leave me with enough house projects to keep me busy. (as if i need more projects to keep me busy..!)

(left) on friday genanne brought me early birthday flowers! tulips and daffodils are some of my favorites and they opened to greet me saturday morning. (right) first i vacuumed the dining area which we had been using as a workshop.

then i gave all of the trim in the bedroom a second coat of paint. i moved onto the bathroom trim and wainscoting giving them a coat of primer. we can’t use tape on the unfinished plaster walls so i just have to be super careful when i paint. i think i spent 8 hours painting yesterday!

today i went back up to put a 3rd coat on some bedroom baseboards (although i forgot to sand the 2nd coat! …hope that’s not a problem.) i put a coat of white satin on the trim and wainscoting in the bathroom and i remembered to sand this time. and i’ve also discovered that this bathroom has really excellent acoustics for singing (not that i’m worth listening to..!)

we’re not sure if we will paint or polyurethane the plaster walls in the bathroom. i want yellow paint but mathew has gotten very attached to his plaster walls and wants to keep them exposed…
