Ahhh . . . the lazy days of summer! It is wonderful to have the long sunny days back for a few months here in the northeast. And, now that these beautiful days are upon us, my mind starts to think of what projects I am going to tackle. I always try to plan on doing the things that require fresh air and open windows while the weather is nice. So, here are a few of the projects in the works at the moment in our house.
Painting the chalkboard paint
Time to finish up the wall projects I started this spring. I was originally planning to paint the chalkboard paint at the same time I had painted the magnetic primer which I previously posted about, but due to the stink factor I decided to put off the project until the weather was warmer and I could open up the windows. Well, the little monkeys are off to visit the grandparents in a couple weeks and I am going to use that time to finish up. I am hoping that having a few days of empty rooms with open windows will help with the airing out.
Primer painting
I have this handy dandy little workout room in my house, which I even occasionally use! Hubby and I moved into our home a few years ago and I have slowly been working my way through the house doing all the painting. This is the last “room” I have to go (still have to do the stairwells too). And, this is another one of those projects where it is nice to let the fresh air diffuse all that paint smell. And, it is also on my list of things to do while the monkeys are away. It is going to be a busy couple of days.
License plate wall art
My little guy loves trucks and cars and all sorts of things related. He is a little man’s man. So, my father-in-law found this bag of old license plates and gave them to me after I mentioned I wanted to look for some for his bedroom. I need to pull them all out and see what I have and then I am going to turn them into an as yet undetermined decoration for his room. Stay tuned.
There it is . . . the start of the summer projects. Hope you are enjoying the warm summer weather wherever you are.
