One day I'll take real pictures with a real camera. These pictures are terrible...I know that and I apologize to all my non-existent readers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways...a couple weeks ago I took on the guest bedroom by myself. R had to work and I know how much we've been slacking on getting this house remodel finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The whole house was painted the same color off-ish white. Not a terrible color but boring. The whole house also has crown molding, which I love (although I do not love painting it)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the guest bedroom before. Loving the green carpet?!?! We actually toyed around with the idea of keeping it....I know, right!? Just FYI, it's being replaced in two weeks. Woo-hoo!</div>

We chose Behr's Brampton Gray for this room. We'll put R's things in this room (deer head, two-man saws that hang on some boards on the wall) so it had to be some-what manly.</div>

I wasn't going to do much to the closet at first and then decided to go ahead and paint it with left over paint from the bathroom (Behr's Pensive Sky)</div>

After we put the guest bed and a couple other things in the room we decided that it would not accommodate a desk for me to work from...in came the closet office. This actually will work out pretty well for us because it gives us a whole guest room for my family or our friends to come and not have to sleep on the couch. The only downfall is that it will take away some storage. Not a huge deal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
R hung some shelves and I still need to do some more painting (shelves, brackets and a surprise element) and we need to install the desk top. The random chair is where I sat to tell R where I wanted the shelves.</div>

I've been overweight for most of my 26 years.<br />
<br />
I grew up with beautiful, skinny friends. They were all so wonderful. Never once did I feel bullied or tormented for my weight...but I ALWAYS felt like the "fat girl" of the group...not because of anything they did but because of myself. I was pretty active through my adolescents, playing soccer, softball, and volleyball (rec and travel and in school) but despite all that I was still pretty overweight.<br />

In October of last year I gave up all soda and sweet tea. I was a diet soda drinker so no extra calories but I was filling my body with so much other garbage that are in sodas. I decided enough was enough. I was definitely "addicted". The headaches from not having my 3 or 4 a day sodas lasted for probably 3 weeks...that's not really normal for everyone.<br />
<br />
It's now been 6 months of NO soda. I miss it occasionally because I like the bubbles...but I haven't gone back. I now only drink water...and occasionally add mio. Oh, I do have coffee in the mornings..but I rarely drink a whole cup.<br />
<br />
Even though all I drink is water I want to track my consumption by making sure I drink 100 oz (about 4-5 of my tervis cups) of water each day.<br />

I'm pretty bad about scarfing my food down. Like it's going to disappear if I don't shovel it in my mouth. I need to learn to stop, enjoy what I'm eating, and listen to my body when it says it's satisfied. Not clean my plate (despite what my mom told me when I was growing up!!)<br />
<br />
I'm linking up y'all! (P.S. it just took me a good 30 or so minutes to figure out how to put this clickable picture in my blog....haha!!)<br />

This is where it gets exciting. Finally real progress of a real bathroom. Richard installed the cabinet and counter tops while I was at work one day. It was such a nice surprise! </div>

Unfinished Counter tops</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After we finished the counter tops (sand, condition, stain, sand, stain, sand, poly, sand, poly, sand, wax, buff) we got to work painting the cabinets. Stock, semi-gloss white from Behr - straight from the shelf, all the guy did was shake it up for us.</div>

We brushed the paint on for the whole thing. Was that the best option - probably not - but it turned out really good. Only took a bazillion days to finish. (paint, sand, paint, sand, paint, sand, etc)</div>

Doors and drawer fronts went on (missing a few handles on the doors) and got the mirror put up. We reused the mirror that was already in the bathroom - R just built a simple frame and I painted it white to match.</div>

I love how it looks. It's better than I imagined. We also opted to put doors on the top shelf in the tower part and I'm really glad we did - it would have been too open and weird if we didn't. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A friend told me the other day "Your Pinterest projects work out so much better than mine". I laughed a little becuase I've definitely had some major FAILS when it came to trying Pinterest projects. But that's another day! The plank wall was definitely inspired from Pinterest and all the amazing blogs I stalk.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Richard is so great...I say, I want a plank wall and he's got it. In his head he already knew exactly how he was going to do it - didn't write anything down - did all the planning in his head. Kind of like this. I told him I wanted a console table for behind my couch. Like this one from Ana White:</div>

I like how it's rustic and charming and fits right behind the couch. Perfect...and it comes with plans! Even more perfect. So I show this to Richard and he's like...yeah, we can do that. And ya know what he does. He makes it - no plans - no real measurements...just makes it. And it's so beyond perfect and I am in love with how it turned out.</div>

and we totally changed our plans. Richard has a pile of heart pine behind our house from a tear down job a while back. Originally floor joists in a house. We were going to have to glue three pieces together to get the depth we'd need for a countertop.</div>

I love it....it's beautiful (her whole house is) but I wasn't sure it was for me. Since this will be a rental house once we move out we wanted to go for something that was more timeless. I love the pallet wall and want one...ooohh maybe pallet headboard...like this:</div>

The bathroom in this house wasn't as functional as we wanted. The layout was weird and didn't offer any storage (towels, TP, etc) except for the small space under the current vanity. So we demo-ed the whole it! The tub stays because it would be too difficult to get it out of the small doorway without completely ruining it...which we didn't want to do. I'm not a fan of throwing away perfectly good, used things when someone else could benefit from it (ie: Habitat Re-Store, Goodwill, Etc.) So it stayed. I don't love it but it's not horrible...and it will be covered with a pretty curtain anyways! :)</div>

We're hoping to accomplish this all over the next 6 months.<br />
<br />
We're starting in....<br />
<br />
The Bathroom...this is almost a complete overhaul. Everything will be replaced except the tub. We had ideas but not a solid design concept...and then came this little gem of a bathroom:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiplvagQCX8fEcWthXxR-TM0dYqId_vMZolJd-UGdCfSfkJj8QugR5xWhlcBIHYN9e28_bk-0wZM_mIb1JV_90U3qX5cDEj0_3n3lzAwOfI5Hb4QqZdVN-SicTnEfVIebFDQAhJkrYpI7GB/s1600/beneathmyheartbathroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiplvagQCX8fEcWthXxR-TM0dYqId_vMZolJd-UGdCfSfkJj8QugR5xWhlcBIHYN9e28_bk-0wZM_mIb1JV_90U3qX5cDEj0_3n3lzAwOfI5Hb4QqZdVN-SicTnEfVIebFDQAhJkrYpI7GB/s320/beneathmyheartbathroom.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<div>
And then it was a no brainer as to what we we're going to do! Plank wall, butcher block counter tops Done and done! We've been working all week on these two things...can't wait to see it all come together!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In conjunction with the bathroom we're adding a knee wall (already framed and ready for sheetrock) to divide the living room and kitchen while keeping the openness of the house. Also will provide us some place to eat (an amazing bar top is in the works) since there is no place to really put a eating table. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next we'll move onto the kitchen. This will be our largest part of the remodel. The inspiration for the Kitchen comes from Martha Stewart's Ox Hill Design:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our kitchen is MUCH smaller! But we're using the same paint for the walls and cabinets (Richard will build these too!) We've picked out modest Formica countertops (since this isn't a long term house we didn't want to put too much into it...just enough to make it ours). We'll inherit a sink from my parents (simple, white, double basin). We'll buy a new faucet and lighting. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After the kitchen we'll just have to replace carpet in three rooms (living room, master bedroom, guest bedroom/office) and paint. Not too bad but it will completely change the house. We're also considering painting the trim on the house...which is like 6 windows and two doors...easy peasy! Annnddd hopefully a screened in porch!</div>
