All Things Spring

I have Spring Break from school from March 20th through April 11th!!!  3 Full Weeks!!  That is the first great thing about Spring coming.  The next great thing about spring is cleaning up outside and inside the house after the winter months are over!  By combining my spring break with spring cleaning, you also get spring remodeling and home improvements:)  I love all these things!

Whitney has a theory that if I have projects to do then his 3 weeks of work while I am off will go much smoother.  I will be busy and not calling him at work wishing he was home with me and how being off for three weeks can sometimes get boring.  I LOVE the time off and I am sure everyone would kill for it, but I need to keep busy!  That is just me.  So as I started my break I had a few plans of my own and so did Whitney.

Plan #1:  Change out all the dome light fixtures in our hallway and closets.
Plan #2:  Paint the upstairs hallway to match the family room.  Thanks to my brother and dad helping while they visited for 2 days last week!
Now the rest of the changes you are about to see were not really planned.  Since we replaced the dome light fixtures, I figured why not replace the half bath fixture and the guest bath fixture.  Then all the lightening would be complete!  This turned into looking at new wall cabinets at Lowes (our favorite store) and then became plan #3 & #4...

Plan #3 & #4:  Replace bathroom fixtures & remodel the half bathroom downstairs.
Plan #5:  After all this painting, I also decided that our white trim in the hallway and bathroom needed a fresh coat of paint only to realize that it really needed it EVERYWHERE!!  Good thing I have 3 weeks off because I am going room by room and making the trim fresh, white, and pretty:)  Hey, it is keeping me busy!

Special THANK YOU!!! To my wonderful husband for doing the electrical work on all the lights and the plumbing to put in the new sink and faucet!  GREAT JOB WHIT:)  LOVE YOU...I knew you could do it.
