So I didn't get really anything done. I feel like i've been driving everywhere. I drove all the way to newport news to get an antique vanity last week. I got lost and it was almost sold to someone else. But i'm happy to have gotten it. Plus it was only $18.WOOHOO!
Then i started painting Isabelle's room. Turned out to be more of a raspberry pink than a barbie/princess pink. She still likes it so we decided to put diamonds and hearts in a lighter shade of pink on top. We need to patch the plaster in a few places but over all it's in good condition. The ceiling on the other hand needs to be replace like almost every other room.
I also took a picture of her door i took off and stripped. I think all the door will be beautiful once i strip them, sand them and put a nice finish on them. We got new knobs for them in a cool black finish. At the top of the picture (behind the beems on the other saw horses) is the arch we found in the attic. I stripped that also and will look so nice in the downstairs hallway. We also picked out the colors to paint the outside of the house. We decided to match the light brown of the front door and a deep rich
dark brown. Mike stripped the wood around the new front door and started painting it. But he didn't get to far because we wanted to go see Pirates 3 and took all the kids out to dinner for Marissa's bday. On sunday i drove to chesapeake to get supplies for the cook out we were having. On sunday we had a nice day with 2 of my sisters and their families and Mike's mom. We were disappointed Nana didn't make it but she works a lot. We planning another cookout in aug so everyone that didn't make it can come. We also surprised Marissa with a star wars cake. She loved it.

Tomorrow i get to drive to norfolk to get a sectional couch for the kids tv room. I got it from craigslist so it's not "new" but i think it will be big enough for all the kids. I'm not spending a whole lot to care if it doesn't last alot of years.
Ok the washer is done so i must go hang clothes....

I kind of fell across your blog and want to let you know how much I am enjoying it. We've recently bought a 120 year old Victorian that I sometimes think is trying to kill us. It's nice to not feel alone. Good luck!
