Progress

I decided to re-name the blog from Sanding Block to Lot 26, as this is our lot number in the mobile home park. And it just sounds way cooler.. :-)

Today, I painted our master bathroom. It's a tiny tiny space, but still took a while to do because of all of the corners, and painting around everything. We finally decided on Icy Blue from Valspar. It's a beautiful pale aqua/turquoise color that's very vibrant.

Our living room floor is almost down. One more session ought to finish it. Yay! We decided on Beach Sparkle for the living room walls, also by Valspar, the darkest sample on the same one as the Icy Blue. The master bedroom will be the "middle color" on the sample, Cincinnatian Hotel Abbey.

Originally, our color choices were all over the place. We were tossing around the idea of painting our bedroom gray or a dark plum, but for some reason, those colors just weren't happy or calming enough. We fell in love with Beach Sparkle for the living room, and decided to go with the whole swatch. Now it's just hard to decide what do do with the office and secondary bedroom. We wanted a pink office for so long, but I'm afraid that it will look too bubble gum, looking from a blue living room to a pink office. Choices choices.

We're in

Moving day came and went with a lot of stress. We were not really prepared for this move and it showed. It took about 6 hours to move a 2 bedroom (third story) + storage garage to our three bedroom mobile home. Most of the time took was loading the truck. Unloading only took the last 45-50 minutes. Then, we had to make countless trips back and forth over the next two days between the apartment and the new place because they sent us the wrong size truck.

During the move, the bottom of our mattress was punctured. Not a huge hole, but non the less it happened. I really didn't think it would affect the mattress, but as luck would have it, the moving company ended up refunding us a little over $100 because of the incident.

Our cats have been doing very well in the adjustment to the new place. Only one of them hid for two days, the rest had little to no anxiety about moving.

The rest of the living room floor is going down tomorrow, as we are having to do a section at a time and move the furniture around to the finished areas. The couch has been at the re - upholsterers for the past week and should be finished sometime within the following week or so. We have also decided on a paint color for the living room! It's been a time of great anxiety, and this place will always be a work in progress, but I think the worst is over and the fun is about to start!
