All to keep up with the Ghidora's and the Cullen's~

In an attempt to get this house sold at some point in the year 2009, one must progress. After picking out too many sample cards, I brought them to work to have my favorite home improvement queens look them over. We had pretty much narrowed the thick stack down to about 10. I narrowed it down a few more and then went to Lowe's and bought samples of the 6 I had left. I taped the walls in the bathroom and put on all the colors. I told the girls we would leave them up and check them daily to see which one we liked the best after a few days.

I really was leaning toward this blue, but was wondering if it would come across too cool. I'm putting up wainscotting up at the bottom so it wouldn't be a sea of blue, but I really liked it. Blue is my favorite color. Also, I have to keep reminding myself that it can't be what I want or like, it has to be good enough for potential buyers.

I hadn't seen Em in awhile so when I caught up with her at work yesterday I showed her what we colors we had done and she gave me the Sherwin Williams blue color name again, so again I headed to pick up a sample of that.

Here it is! I put it up today and I think I have finally picked a color. It looks alot like the blue sample I pained under the window but this one has more gray to it and I think is going to look awesome with the white wainscotting at the bottom. It is Languid Blue SW 6226 for those of you who love it too.

Off to the flooring... I texted Will to find out how to get the base moulding off without damaging the drywall. I ended up using the crowbar, no not the one from Mob Wars, but the one in the garage, and got it off fairly quickly. Next to tackle was the linoleum. Not as fun. They had stapled down end to end and I couldn't budge any part of it. I had texted Will but he didn't respond. I googled the how-to and found out I needed a heat gun.

Chris brought a heat gun and he didn't even need it. In the amount of time it took me to unload the dishwasher he had ALL the linoleum out. Yeah! Then Will decided to text back and asked 'what are you putting down'. I responded with 'a mural of my a**', his response 'd*** you have a house that big'. I laughed so hard... almost as hard as the 'CLEAR' episode. Not sure I blogged that one but I'll have to.

There was a full wal mirror that took up from the top of the sink to the bottom of the light fixture. WOW, when I took it down, it made the bathroom look so much smaller. I am not putting the same mirror back up but I will have to make sure that one that is impressive goes up to make sure it expands the room.

Well, I hope I am keeping up with the Ghidora's and the Cullen's (even if your legally married to my husband, Michael, of course... not Edward). Or at least moving forward in order to have this in the yard this year.....
