finally, finally, friday !

and...ta! ta! i'm finished ~ yeah! ~ with my washroom.

now who's kidding who? i've watched 'design on a dime' and other makeover shows on hgtv. it only cost them under $200.00, AND they were completely finished with a whole real room in less than 48 hours. am i doing something wrong?

then when i finished, donnie mack comes down and says, "wow! you've turned into my grandma! this room looks just like what her basement looked like, when i was a kid ~ i hate it! " and in another breath, said, "well...it's okay for a washroom, but PLEASE promise me that you won't paint our bedroom this color!"

he thinks the curtains look like ones we ripped out of our first home, when we bought marcelle skinners home just before we got married. (marcelle was an 80 year old woman, who had lived in this house for 40 years.) and that was back in 1974! sometimes, he is such a dork! or maybe i AM turning into an old woman!
anyway... i like it! it actually looks like a room now and the yellow makes it look bigger and cheery!

the floor, before..........and after.

the ceiling before, had a big whole where donnie had cut the sheetroock to fix a leak ~ oh about 5 or 6 years ago. and this is my new sign to make sure everyone knows 'what' room it is!

sooo, now i'm off to find another project!
