Phew

BC took the 3 oldest kids to my parents’ house at Bear Lake on Sunday. That
left me and Bennett and a HUGE list of projects to get done without “helpers”. Since Sunday I…
Decoupaged a letter C
Got completely caught up on laundry, even got it all put away
Had the floors measured for hard woods
Went to Ikea without anyone fighting and bought a blanket chest
Sewed straps on a swimsuit for a neighbor
Cleaned Macy’s room
Cleaned the boys’ room
Sanded the piano
Had breakfast with a friend
Assembled the blanket chest
Cleaned out and organized the linen closet (with baskets!)
Painted the bathroom
Removed all out of season/wrong sized clothing from all 3 boys’ closets
Cleaned the grout in my kitchen dining area (thanks for your help, Nat!)
Cleaned Bennett’s room
Took 3 garbage bags full of crap to D.I.
Went to Back to School night
Had dinner with friends
Cleaned my room
Changed out the light fixture in the powder room
Cleaned and polished about half my kitchen cabinets (so close!)
Cleaned the playroom
Cleaned my sewing room
and
finally
just this afternoon
Painted the piano.
Don’t look too closely. It still needs major touching up, but I FREAKING LOVE it.

  1. It looks amazing! I love that color. Makes me wish we hadn't given our piano away when we moved 3000 miles cross country!

    WOW, you are wonder woman!
    And I love the piano, it looks fantastic! I would never dare to paint mine, but it looks SO great.

  3. Kristine Robinson says:

    Wow! What do you charge? Can you come do my house? I am feeling very cluttered! The piano looks great. So does the bathroom! So glad you got everything done. Now you need a vacation! (Minus kids). I have to say, I am VERY GLAD Keller is coming home. We have missed him!

    You seriously are super mom. I only have 1 and I never get that much accomplished. Piano so cute!

  24. Joni Walton says:

    Only you could get away with sanding down a piano and making it look that good. You suck.

  25. Abby's Mom says:

    Which color did you end up going with and what finish did you get your paint in? Looks amazing!!

  26. heatherbailey says:

    Fun! We're going to paint our piano too — once I choose a color. I'm glad to see someone else is crazy like that.

  27. Hi – just discovered your blog and may I admire your gusto & bravery and go-for-it-ness at tackling painting a piano?! I bought a little empty sewing machine cabinet for $5 at a yard sale in June and I'm practically getting the vapors every time I think about spray painting that sucker. I don't want to mess up. I don't want to mess up a stupid $5 yard sale find. Dumb, eh? You inspire! Thanks for sharing your colorful, entertaining & informative blog!
