My weekends have been consisting of...

For the past two weekends all I have been doing is scrubbing walls in my kitchen. I still have the living room to do. Why? Two weekends ago I got a wild hair to see what color the walls actually were. The walls haven't been cleaned since Daryl inherited the house from his dad. Why would they when he barely stayed there up until I moved back in two years ago? I got a wild hair and decided that I was going to make this house feel like it was my house as well. Why not? After all Daryl and I did get married right? It should feel like my house as well! Now if I had been thinking I would have taken before pictures before I started scrubbing with a sponge and 409. But I got smart after I had already been scrubbing! So you will have to follow me here.

Before Pictures:
























In Process: See the difference?













After: WOW what a difference!
















































Ok in this picture the only thing that hasn't been scrubbed yet is the ceiling. I haven't figured out how I'm going to clean the ceiling yet. Tried the mop which is how that streak got there but unless the mop is really dry it drips in your face. And the sponge on the mop isn't worth scrubbing with and its hard to get elbow grease into it as well.



That is what I have been spending my weekends doing. I still have the ceiling and half of the kitchen to do that is blocked off with boxes and other stuff. When they get moved I'll do that side. In the meantime I can start in on the living room. Look for that post later on! I promise I'll post the honeymoon posts soon as well.
