Holy Busy Batman!

Do you ever have weekends when you’re thankful they’re almost over to you can go back to work for a rest? That was my weekend. Why?

Before:

After:

New floors and paint. 5 coats of paint to be exact. We don’t really use our basement because well, we are only 2 people in our 1800 square foot home, and we don’t have enough furniture to fill it up! I’m verrrrrrrry pleased with the end result!

A big thank you to my cousin and his wife for helping out. They found out about the blog this weekend, so they could potentially be reading. Thanks guys! :)

Today was spent painting, therefore there was no gymbo. Although I suspect I will be sore tomorrow. Lots of up and down off a chair!

Started out today with a delicious bowl of oats. Toppings included: Flax, coconut, blueberries, pumpkin seeds, mini pb chips and a scoop of pb.

Hey, some people have vegan dinner parties… but not at this house. Yesterday I made the most delicious pulled pork and baked beans and served it with coleslaw to feed our reno helpers. They were both FANTASTIC recipes, and I’ll be posting them later this week!

Alright, its waaaay past my bedtime. Must get some zzzz’s!

Night!

Do you mind telling me what kind of paint you used? 5 coats is a lot! (though you were covering a bold color with a neutral...)
