Gettin' ready

This week is the week we've been waiting for for a LONG time. I don't think anyone could be more excited than Wifey though, she's been dealing with the lack of a real ceiling in our dining room for far too long. But, that will all come to an end this week. Starting Thursday, we've got five straight full days of work planned. Most of the focus will be on our living room and dining room area but I've thrown in some main hallway and kitchen items while we give the paint and spackle time to dry.

And, if you know Wifey you probably knew we would have a plan for all of this. I love how organized she makes me. Really, I do!
