Before and After

My new workout DVD's haven't come in the mail yet (3 day shipping my foot!!), so I took to other forms of physical activity this weekend to fulfill my workout quota.

I painted my dining room!!

And because it should be very obvious that I enjoy a good "proof picture" that gives evidence to my hard work, I took some before and after shots to share with you.

BEFORE

AFTER

Several things to note from these shots:

1. Yes, that's a homemade cat box feeder on our window sill (the dog thinks ANY food left at floor level is dog food...ridiculous doggie ideas!

2. The color looks quite a bit lighter in this picture than it actually is. It's pretty dark...not at all mint-like as it appears here. Ewww...mint walls. Shudder!

3. Just know that the floating orbs in the picture are probably our resident ghost. We're pretty sure the house is haunted. Do you think he likes the new color???

I feel accomplished...and bruised! Standing backwards on a ladder for four hours will give a girl a nasty calf bruise for sure! Ahhh...sunless tanner here I come! The things that can be covered up by a little shimmery, gold glow!

Now I need to make curtains (I should probably learn how to sew first!), purchase some art (the one piece I already have looks like it's camouflage next to our lovely green walls!), and decorate it up!!

My evil plan to take over our house is almost complete!! All we need is some girlie chair coverings and a bouquet of flowers on the table and we'll be well on our way!
