Noooo WAY!!!!!

My husband's dear mother-in-law made a very practical purchase for him this Christmas. Since she is well aware of his life threatening tool allergy she was able to still give him something very useful without putting him in harm's way!!!! He now is the proud owner of a fabulous new LADDER!!! Do you remember the summer before last when I was painting in preparation for our Brazilian exchange student and I fell of our 1,000 year old teetery ladder that I'm pretty sure he found in our garage from the previous owners???? Anyhoo, I had a HUGE hematoma on the back of one of my legs b/c I fell on top of our computer desk and computer (and spilled paint EVERYWHERE!!!). We had to get a new keyboard cause all of the keys stuck!! So, now I realize my mother probably gave Heath the ladder not only to help us reach high places but to prevent trips to the ER!!!! I was soooo excited tonight when I saw my dear mr. curtis up on him's new ladder painting away---without any nagging!!!
Last year I got the brilliant idea to paint our downstairs half bath a cheery watermelon pink!! and needless to say mr. curtis HATED the color big time!! Not only that my exchange student helped me and the paint job left a little to be desired to say the LEAST!

This is the flooring after I decided to rip up the carpet KNOWING we could not put in the man-hours to anything like this at the time. He is not happy when I do stuff like that either!! My theory is that it will jump start our motivation...instead it just becomes and unfinished project looming over our heads!! SWEET!


Killer paint job!! I can't believe I am even posting these picks!! I am a tad embarrassed by the state of my bathroom but hey---most of you have seen it in-person anyway!!!


And the final bit of bathroom un-loveliness... our weird, old corner sink. There is sooo much that needs to be done to this space but for now it is just going to get a neutral paint job and maybe someday (if I stop having babies) we will have the time and energy to do something about the rest of it!!!! :)
