Finishing Projects (Finally)

Just a few things we've actually finished (and not just started) lately...

First up, the front bedroom blinds. These blinds were too short for the windows by about 6 inches and have been that way since we moved in. I bought Roman shades to replace them, but they sat around for at least a month before I finally got up the motivation to install them. The ones in Angela's room even have curtains! (It was only a couple days of curtain-less windows in there because at least we had the curtains and rod already.) The guest room still needs to be painted so we haven't bought curtains for it yet, but as soon as we do we already have the rod so that will be next on the list!

Before: This one had a broken blind too. Sad...

After: Lovely!

Second, after nearly six months of procrastination and having blue tape on the wall, we finally finished our magnet wall! Angela got us off to a good start in the beginning with two coats, but then the combination of messiness from the oil-based formula and stinky-ness from the paint turned it into a project that wasn't as desirable. Six to eight coats later (I lost count), the magnets stick! We're using this for our word magnets.

Before: Beige & bland

After: Fun!
