Weekly trip over to the new house to come up with a plan for this barbie pink bathroom. I'm pulling down the lily pad wallpaper, but after that it's just lipstick on a pig.

In my first house I could vacuum the entire floor without changing outlets. In the second place, I can open the window without leaving my bed.

Maggie thinks the neighbors at the new house have a park behind their house. Poor kid has neer seen a yard with a swingset.

We are officially ready for the burbs ;-)

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

So after enlisting the entire family to help me choose the perfect wood stain, I was publicly shamed by Carpenter Steve. Apparently I am not proficient at following (or reading) directions. The stain should not be painted on (I blame Maggie's technique) like paint: it needs to be rubbed on with a cloth and wiped off within 60 seconds. My "new" project for this week is to again find the perfect wood stain. And start reading again.

My assistant is helping me choose a wood stain! (Full disclosure: she's painting water on the wood, somewhat safer than stain fumes and easier to get off little hands ;-)
