We have tulips!

Today the weather was prettier than it has been in a while. So we went to the grocery store, and then came home and pulled some weeds out of the front yard. It was nice to open up the windows, and do some work outside! I am ready for Spring! I'm not ready for the 100+ heat of the summer, but spring is nice. Back in December we planted some tulip bulbs so they would bloom in the early spring. Well today when I was pulling weeds, this is what I found.....

We have tulips! Well...we are closer to having tulips! I was SO excited to see these little buds showing! Now that makes me want to go spend lots of money at the Garden Center on more spring flowers. I need to wait a little longer though to make sure it won't freeze anymore. With the weather lately, you never know.

I'm through with the painting of the bedroom conversation

Wow it's been a while since I blogged...oops. :) A few weeks after we repainted our master bathroom, we painted our master bedroom. I think after painting this room we are on a painting freeze. The bathroom seemed so easy, but then we started the bedroom, and it took forever. Of course, the bedroom is bigger, but geez, lol.
Here are a few before pictures:

Our next project will be the living room. When we moved in, everything in the house was beige. Which is better than white, but our couches are beige, too. There is no definition between the walls, carpet and the furniture. The problem is, I cannot for the life of me decide what I want to do. When we did the bathroom and bedroom, we knew exactly what we wanted. But the living room is a different story. We have spent hours in the paint department at Home Depot, but nothing is sticking out. So we will keep waiting until we know for sure. I have been told by my wonderful hubby that we need to know what we want to do before we do it because there is nothing worse than spending a ton of time on something, just to not like it. :)
