Now You See It...

There are certain things that you can know about the S4J household. One of them being that I am more often than not in some stage of some bizarre mishap or situation. But those are stories for another day I'm sure. Another one of them being that there is always some project going on. This week hubby took off of work in order to renovate our bedroom. Okay - his plan was probably more like; coat his 1989 Suburban in durabak bedliner, and maybe make our bedroom nice if he had time otherwise. Because he was home this week, I did my best to keep appointments to a minimum so I could be here too. Of the renovations left to do in this house, we have the master bedroom, 2 of the other bedrooms and the 2 bathrooms. In that order. The other 2 bedrooms we will do this summer when we have kids away at various places. Don't know if we'll get to the bathrooms before it is time to sell and move. A.K.A. RETIRE. *S4J excuses herself while she does the la la happy dance*

Here I am back and out of breath. Anyway, you may be asking, "Why the goofy title S4J?" All will be revealed momentarily (or as quickly as blogger will upload my pictures)

I took a few pictures of every room when we bought the house. This is what ours looked like when we bought it in 2005....
Yes that is wood paneling painted gray with darker gray trim. And Tan carpet.




When Hubby was deployed, I painted the bedroom this brownish color; Fawn something or other, and for whatever reason I only took a picture of this mural of love *aww*



So now you've seen it.

And now you don't...




Always did seem like the kids were SO LOUD when they were taking a shower. I guess that could be because THERE WAS NO WALL BEHIND IT.



We started the renovations on Monday and were hoping to be back in our room this weekend.
Stay tuned....
