It's been extreme home makeover Kelley edition around here lately. We've decided to take on some home improvement projects before the baby is born. I hate to spend large amounts of money (it's literally painful for me) but be it hormones, frustration, desperation, or all of the above, I've agreed to several projects.
1. Tree removal. Nick decided to cut down the tree in the front yard that spits leaves from October through May and then starts all over again. I'm kicking myself for not getting any pictures of the process, but I was scared. Because this guy:
Combined with one of these:
Could be quite terrifying. I had the fire department on standby. But he did good and got the entire neighborhood involved and the tree was down and cleared today in just a few hours...Check.
2. Carpet. New carpet for 90% of the house will be installed on Wednesday.....Check.
3. Baby's room. Here is the room before:
As you can see, we really never used this room.
Can you guess what color scheme we are going with? I painted the entire room today, but no sneak peaks until it's done....which should be sometime within the next 3 months :)
This pic is for mom. She wanted a full shot that's, "Not just a close up of a stomach!" Please ignore the bags under my eyes and the hair that's a mess. This was after an 11 hour work day. I thought I was going to give birth right there if Nick didn't hurry up and take that picture so that I could sit down.
That's the updates for now. I'll post fabulous before and after carpet pictures after Wednesday.
