Weekend Project Update!

Ok, so I know some of you have been standing by since Sunday waiting for the updated pictures. Unfortunately, there really isn't much to see this week. Not because we didn't DO anything, but rather because what we did appears so incredibly unremarkable that it's almost not worth showing. LOL

So you may remember that our mission was to continue sprucing up the garage/office. (Almost ready to start calling this the office and not the garage.) Here are some pics to remind you of the before:



Then last weekend, we did the floors remember?


This weekend, our plan was to tackle the walls by painting just plain primer for now to brighten things up (we can't Paint Paint because the walls need some serious work). I also wanted to clean up the peg board and put it to use. And lastly, we wanted to insulate the garage doors more.

Here's my gorgeous other half painting on the primer:
Seriously... is there anything cuter than a man with a paintbrush in his hand? I think not!
(please note that that was one sprayed on coat of Krylon Avocado Green. We laid a further 2 coats on later).

Here is the finished product... look ma, things hanging up and not on the floor! (Well, you can't see the floor and you won't until the room is finished.) Yes, I know the pegboard could use another 2 coats or 20... but seriously, the Krylon is more for outdoor use! We were totally paint bombed into quitting... and the room still reeks of spraypaint 3 days later! We may need to revisit the peg board this weekend.


And here are the new almost insulated garage doors. I say almost because we need to go and get more panels to cut and fit into the gaps. Strangely, just these half covered panels are already making a difference in here. I am so excited to get the rest of them on, and have the ceiling sorted out, we won't know ourselves!


Still need for this room:

- Area Rug to break up the grey and add warmth to the space.
- Really fabulous desk lamps
- Cable tidies for all the wires
- Walls repaired
- Ceilings properly finished
- Fabric panels for the garage door
- New, bigger window
- Proper lighting
- Tuck ugly outlet wiring behind drywall
- Art
- Shelves & storage
- A shed... no, not for inside the office, but to place outside the house so that we can get the mower, Christmas decor, camping stuff, etc out of here.
- Peter's new TV console for his Xbox and accoutrements

There... that's not much right? LOL

If all my clients pay this week, I hope to have some much more exciting, BIG impact projects for you this weekend. *fingers crossed!*
