I'm Ready! Time to Fix Up the House!

I am so inspired by my clean house that I've decided that it is time for me to prep the house for sale.

I have wanted to move for some time; new homes are coming on the market every day and if I don't hurry, it'll be Fall before I know it! I want to get the house on the market this summer, hopefully in a month or maybe six weeks (yeah, I know I have big dreams!), and then all my prayers will be answered when somebody offers us more than it is worth within two days of putting it on the market! Ha! Always thinking positively, right!?
The first thing I am starting with, tomorrow morning, by the way, is

painting the ceiling in the family room. I have to patch a spot before I paint, but after I patch it, I'll have a chance to prep it and maybe start with the edging. These projects will give me something to do between camping trips!!

I want to paint the ceilings in our living room, kitchen and Noah's bedroom, too. I'll be doing a lot of painting as the kitchen and Abbey's closet need to be painted. Maybe I'll do Abbey's closet before we put the air conditioning units go in the windows (ugh, I hate not having central air!) and we can keep the windows open for awhile.

A cute idea I saw on Pinterest is painting a ceiling fan. My dear, sweet husband taped pennies to the ceiling fan blades in the family room to try to balance it. But the doll (note the sarcasm dripping here) taped them to the bottom of the blades! So when I finally got around to moving them to the top of the blades where they couldn't be seen the strips of tape peeled off the lovely finish on the blades and now they have stripes on the ends of several of the fan blades! Totally weird and definitely hard to explain! I think I will paint the blades the same color as the trim in our room: a dark chocolate brown.

Along with the painting, I have other jobs to accomplish, like finish tiling the bathtub. Don't ask me about it; I hate it and don't want to talk about it. . . at least not just yet! It's a pain in the rear and I hate taking a shower in that tub! I also need to replace some woodwork in the bathroom. There are other jobs that need to be done, but I think they might require a man's touch, ahem, Maaa-aaaatt! I'm hoping that I will inspire him to complete his jobs if I do mine in a timely fashion! I know I have a lot to do, and maybe, just maybe, after I fix up the house I won't want to move anymore! Wish me luck, one way or the other!
