Tales from the Pandemic 12

In some ways this pandemic has been wonderful for our to-do list.  I am delighted with the projects we've been able to get done around the house.  It feels great!

Master bedroom:  It has been repainted!  New duvet cover!  New lamps!  New curtains!  I walk into the room and it's so bright, crisp and fresh.  I love it!

Before:

After:

Master bathroom:  Once I got the bedroom done, I couldn't stop and gave the bathroom a mini update and repainted it as well.  Plus, we got rid of this ugly rolling cart that held towels and hung shelves up on the wall that can hold the towels.

Kitchen:  New dishes!  Jeff and Samantha are not a fan of them, but I adore them.  They are quirky and unique.  New dishwasher!  Our old one was starting to fall apart and we called the company to see how old it was.  It was 28 years old.  Definitely time to replace it.  It's amazing the cool features that is in our new dishwasher.

Here is a pic of the new dishes.  They are quirky and uneven.  Jeff and Sam are not a fan of these at all.  Jeff says it looks like someone was under a tight deadline when making them and ran out of time.  Ha!

Lighting: New sconce in our living room.  I am pretty certain the one that was there was original to when the house was built.  It was dying and needed an electrician to fix the wiring.  Jeff and I never liked this sconce and decided to replace it.

Samantha's room:  Samantha got motivated and wanted to organize her room, by getting rid of her dresser.  The dresser was from Ikea and was falling apart.  Samantha managed to clean out all her drawers and get everything in her closet.  It really does look amazing.  And there is now more room in her room with the dresser gone.

We've also had the house power washed and we mulched & planted flowers.  Our front yard is looking fantastic!

I am sure all of the above would've gotten done eventually, but when you have loads of time on your hands, there is no time like the present.  Goooo us!
