Rob's been in a handyman mood the past week or so. He's been replacing all the old outlets and light switches around the house that he hadn't already replaced. You'd be surprised how much changing an old switchplate can snazz up a room. He also had been replacing the outlets, as some in the house were only 2 prong, and almost all were painted over ( lazy people). Just the past week, he's put new light fixtures in our room, mom's room, the hallway, and the back entryway, he's replaced the ceiling fan in the living room, and he's added new wiring to a part of the basement that only had one outlet, but now it has two! He's also installed a switch in the bar so that now all we do is flick the switch on the wall instead of digging through all the junk under the bar to plug the lights into an outlet. Speaking of the bar, Rob, since you're all about lighting this week, we should get some nice lights for it. Pot Lights? ^_^
We've really gotten bitten by the spring renovating bug. We bought new hardware for the kitchen cupboards, and I've got a fire lit under me about the kitchen since we went to dinner on Saturday and had a great idea about decorating the kitchen. But, before we can do too much in the kitchen, we need to get a new countertop. That's the thing really holding me back in the kitchen at the moment. Until we get a new countertop in, we can't install the backsplash tiles, or paint the walls around the counter. (Rob, let's go get that countertop ordered eh?) Although, we could definately start the dining room, since that great idea I had was for in there. ^_^ I think the kitchen/dining area is going to look pretty snazzy once we're done.
That reminds me, we've got to build/find a couple of shelves for Rob's ever growing hot sauce collection in the dining room. They'd look so nice all lined up on shelves. He's got some great sauces and some nice sets. I can just envision how they'd look all set up on display, with some of our dried cayenne peppers tucked in here and there. I think we should build the shelves, since we have yet to find one that would work great. I have a great vision of what they should look like in my head, I'll have to draw it out and run it by Rob.
