Trimmed and looking good

Nope - not me :)  But our window trim is looking good. And our other trim is on its way.  Early spring we started replacing out windows. 


Finally once the windows were in we prepped the walls for the trim to be put on the windows.  Oh yeah, and I took this opportunity to start over on my gallery wall. 

 Since we were going to be putting in white windows and trim, we could finally tackle a project that I have wanted to do for a while: paint the trim on the main floor white!

To get from our living room to our dining room you go through our french doors - oh wait, there might have been french doors on here at one point they were not on when we moved in.  So it was just a door way, with the hinges still on. 



So with a little muscle and some spackle, it will look like an arch way in no time... and not a door with the doors missing. 



Painting the trim is very time consuming..... but it is going to be so worth it!!!  Below is some of the trim with just the primer on. 


We will be enameling the trim and windows this week... and hope to have the finished product soon :)


Have any of you ever taken on painting trim? Any tips for me to make it go faster? Besides some old school country music on Pandora?

Windows

Something very exciting has been happening at our house....

New windows!!!




The new windows are almost all in. And I am so excited. I know - windows are kind of lame to be excited about - but our old ones are so old, that I can't always open them by my self. And there are holes in all the screens, so bugs could get it. But these new windows open so nicely, and are so pretty.

One thing that I am most excited about, our new windows are vinyl - white vinyl.  Meaning that it will be time to paint all of our trim white as well!!! So, clearly we have enough inside to keep us busy for a few weeks... but I am hoping it will be all done soon. 

And, as if we were not busy enough, you can see outside to the garage, see it full of projects. We have at least 5 projects currently going.  I know that I should just stop and finish one before I get started on another, but I get too excited. I promise that next week you will get to see at least 2 of the projects finished :)
