a rainy weekend's accomplishments

it rained here finally. i kind of had forgotten that it actually rained, like it was some far off place you could only dream about but not visit. so we stayed home and worked on the house. well ... i worked on the house. sean watched football and worked on the house during commercials (shhh don't tell him i said that. he thinks i didn't notice). i do have to give him credit though - he did a job i would never do (ill get to that later though).

here are a few photos of my accomplishments

yep. we still have that hideous beam.

it was a lot harder than just painting because over the years the house had moved and the walls had cracked. and then some lazy person did a terrible job patching the cracks. so i sanded them down, re-patched the cracks, sanded again, and then sprayed with this can of stuff that adds texture to surfaces so the patched areas would blend in with the rest of the walls.

after about 15 hours of work, i finally finished. and then i treated myself with these little cuties

$2.95 each from anthropolgie. i thought it was a score considering the non-sale knobs were around $10+ each.

all in all, i would say a good weekend.
