My sleeves have been rolled up for the last 6 days and I don't intend on stopping anytime soon. The house needs some love and I have plenty to give. At the moment, I am concentrating on revamping the living room and bedroom before I move my things in this Saturday. So far, I have painted the trim and baseboards with a nice oil-based paint. Two coats with a 24 hour wait in between for drying. The former owners were smokers so there are plenty of nicotine layers to cover. Example: bleh...
I have painted the ceilings, they were pretty nasty, too but now look brand new. A new ceiling fan has been mounted in the living room. My color choice for the living room is pretty bold but awesome. Here is the before and the after. Still need a 2nd coat of paint which will go up today and obviously the tape needs removing. :-)

After: (At least one wall, lol)

I'll be sure to post better pics later, but for now these will do. Tonight I am going to paint my bedroom a dark gray and put the 2nd coat on in the living room. All outlets and their covers and all vent covers will be replaced as well as blinds.
I am going to be a weekend warrior for a long, long time. LOL Hope you've enjoyed the sneak peak! I'll be sure to post more as I go along.
I'd like to end this post by saying that the power of positive thinking and the law of attraction are very powerful and effective tools to get what you want out of life. I have focused so much on this happening and now it is finally mine. I realized this yesterday and was completely blown away by how quickly your world can change just by saying, "yes" instead of "no", by believing there IS a way your dreams can come true. If you want something, make it happen.
Cheers!
