getting there...

Last Thursday Tuboo and I sat down and planned out a schedule to complete the Sambiibii Room (Laundry Room). All that we had targeted for this weekend we completed. We washed the walls down, primed the walls, painted and installed the flooring and cut the baseboards to size.

Yup thats Quatchi-Choo again. He's eager to have it all up and running



He quite likes the new room.




We targeted this Thursday to have Sambiibii1 and Sambiibii2 into their new home. We could still get there but there are also a few unknowns. For example, we're not sure what to do with the lighting and we found out the wallpaper for the ceiling will take about 2 weeks to come in. There are some work arounds we can do so just need to do more thinking.

More to come soon...til then...

happy birthday to me!

it was a great day! it was sunny all day (at least where i was today). what made it even better was coming home to find that sambiibii1 and sambiibii2 had arrived.

it all started with a lamp...

and because our washer broke down.

We're getting a new washer/dryer tomorrow and spent the weekend and last 2 days cleaning out the laundry room. Sambiibii1 and Sambiibii2 are arriving tomorrow (my bday present! yay!) but we still have yet to redecorate their new home. We bought paint but we have to prep the walls first. We're also going to put in new flooring and also thinking about doing something different with the ceiling. No chandelier in this room tho! haha!

As for the lamp, we finally found a good lamp for the basement which prompted us to re-think what we are going to do with the rec room/office. So we spent the last week thinkign about and trying to clean up. I ended up painting the furniture in the room b/c it just didn't feel right. Here are some pics:


You can see the lamp in this pic - far corner:


The lamp is very happy and glowy here:

Thats all for now! The pics were taken right after the paint was dry enough to move the furniture. Still have to put stuff back on the desk and bookcase. I'll try my best to keep the space neat and tidy! :)

p.s. here are some pics of our new friend Quatchi-choo. He's also part of my bday present. Amazingly he bares a startling resemblance to Tuboo! Don't ya think? teehee!
