look where it got me

We all blog-hop. Blog hop sounds better than blog-stalk, I think.

You can't say you don't do it. We're all guilty of it. It's okay. Don't be ashamed.

I'm always inspired by your ideas out there, because I lack them. I lack ideas. Atleast, the good and creative kind.

From one must-read blog {Life at the White House} to another {Life in the Fun Lane} I am now with a basement lined with furniture to be painted and a bucket of white paint.

I have a mild obsession with all things white. I could live in an all white house. So clean and perfect and pretty. Behold, Life in the Fun Lane. She paints things white. White, white, white.

I quickly ran upstairs, found whatever JR would let me paint and I'm now seeing more white than I've ever wanted to see in my life. Turns out--painting DARK things WHITE takes many many coats.

Sweet tiny schedules don't allow for full-out paint sessions so I'm in a constant cycle of:

Eat
Play
Sleep
Paint
Poo

Eat
Play
Sleep
Paint
Poo....

you likely get the idea.

If it turns out good I'll show you. If it turns out bad, well...

I had to promise JR that no child would be painted in this project.

to be continued...

I painted an iron bed on our back patio while Carson was a baby... literally, I was praying it wouldn't rain that week, because I was on the same baby/paint schedule! Can't wait to see your projects.

I found your blog by "blog-hopping". I love it and I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've enjoyed reading...Hudson is adorable!

Cameron and Wendy said...

I am guilty as well of finding your blog by "blog-hopping." Your little family is too cute, and I love all of your fun decorating ideas! Hope you don't mind if I keep peeking in on your blog!

Kyndal said...

Hey, we all know that blog-hopping can find you REAL LIFE friends, and I'm eternally thankful for that!! I can't wait to see what you've chosen to paint! Are you going to inspire me, too?

Erin W said...

First off, Blog hopping is greatness... I by chance ran across your blog that way and couldn't be more excited about it.
Second, I LOVE the two blogs that you shared with us. I absolutely adore all of the WHITE! She is so extremely talented.
Third... I too would like to know how you get your photos so large when you post them to your blog. I figure that it has to do with your fancy blog template but I could be so wrong (I hope that I am). I would love to have mine that large as well.
