One Day at a Time

The day started with the beautiful sunshine returning and the ice quickly melting away. The news says that tomorrow will be a high of 69! I am so excited. Once again, had my list of things to do, but only able to get a few of them done. I have decided that I want to go with very neutral tones and colors and can't wait to get started.
The first item on one of my many list, is the kitchen and dining room. I have to do only one room at a time or I will become too overwhelmed and throw my hands up in despair.

We have decided to paint all the trim white and cabinets throughout the house. Right now they are the typical brown wood that you see in every house. I love the look of the white trim and cabinetry up against beautiful colors of the wall and flooring. I have never nor has my husband ever done anything like this before. I have spent several hours worth of research to find out the best way to get started. First thing though.....get rid of the ugly wallpaper. I have NEVER yes NEVER been a fan of wallpaper. I will also be taking on the task of making homemade curtains and roman shades as well as some little decorative touches that I see in my head. They always look great in my head. LOL I found a great Blog today with great step by step instructions on how to make these great roman shades out of old mini blinds and material. I can't wait to get started.
So, with all these things running around in my head, I needed and my kids needed me to take a break. So, we went back to our current home and took a long break for the rest of the afternoon. We thought it would be fun to make Flubber and watch the "Flubber" movie. Me and the kids had so much fun making the flubber and it really was so cool to see it all come together. Let me know if you want the recipe. It was so simple. Right now, the kids are watching the movie and playing with the Flubber they made. I have nothing profound and deep to say about today,It really was just a productive day and just simply beautiful outside. Tomorrow is a new day, with new ideas and twist and turns.

Bringing colour into the house to celebrate the arrival of Spring must be fun, while flowers in the garden splash colour all over!!... ~bangchik
