Amelia's Room's Progress

Baby steps are being taken. Very little ones.

Despite the fact that we have a little house, and we haven’t really been there that long, we have a lot of crap. To make room we have to sell stuff, which might be in item on my ‘To Do’ list for a (little) while…

After many, reminders from P, that were met with glares, sighs, excuses &/or growls… I finally got stuff posted on craigslist. Unfortunately, the only thing that sold was the one thing that didn’t matter if it sold. Figures. It is unreasonably hard to sell pretty much new furniture without losing a crap ton of money. It’s one thing if you have years of use out of it, it’s really lame when its mostly sat around catching dust and holding crap. Sigh.

Anyone want to buy an overpriced desk? Or nightstand?

We decided to begin moving the office anyway, so now Hubby’s computer has been relocated into the living room. Now, even though he is a head turn away from the ginormous TV, he still sits at his computer and watches HULU. Makes me giggle, silly boy. I also made him scoot the heavy overpriced desk that I used about a dozen times to the middle of the room so that I can at least get some painting done.

Thanks to Pinterest (hopefully this time it won’t come back to bite me in the butt, although I’m a little scared that I did…), I have what I want to do all picked out.

Rather than the blue & green, I’m replacing the shades of blue with purple. And instead of white, I’m keeping the former owners really pale green nursery color. All those stripes should be fun… I figure about 25% of the way done with taping and I’ll be ready to put my head through the wall. I don’t think my perfectionist tendencies are going to help me in this situation. I have my spacing figured out. Now to go ALL the way around the room & paint… and then tape some more… then paint some more…

The Plan...eep!

Volunteers are welcome. Just come prepared to deal with a perfectionist dragon lady J
