The Project...

Chaos has abounded in the Nielson home as of late- we decided to live downstairs after we fixed it up and then we decided to live upstairs so we fixed it up.
We are now mostly back upstairs except a few odds and ends we don't use that are waiting to be transported back upstairs. I tell ya, if you are gonna move, just move upstairs, then downstairs, then upstairs again- your thirst for a change will be quenched. :) (alright my thirst is quenched, Zach's really isn't but we'll just have to deal with that later.)
I am super excited about my house at the moment because upstairs it was all hard wood and now I have carpet in the bedrooms and the hallway! -giddy! We took off the wallpaper in Ben's room, which I never liked and painted. Oh, joy that it is finished!
Thought I'd share the news and show some pics. If you don't like it, don't tell me. Thanks!
Before-
During-
After- yes, Ben is sleeping and Sarah is playing on his floor, wishing he would wake up. Isn't it amazing what they can sleep through?!

Wow! I Love it! The carpet looks so nice and soft and the Lightning McQueen Border would be envied by any little boy! Are not projects so fun? Especially when they are finished! And yes...I would love to run a race with you..or at least start with you...I'm sure you'd be way ahead of me. Would you also be interested in doing a 10 K for Farmington Festival Days? I'm thinking about doing that one...but I need to get in some longer runs, of course.

Great job with Ben's room. I love the two tones of blue. It does seem like you just finished you basement; but change is always good in my book!
