I'm back from my Lenten Nest hiatus. And I missed you all dreadfully. After a year of doing approximately nothing on my house, in the last 40 days we up and decided to redo the half bath, picked everything out for it, put up chair rail & crown molding and did some painting in the foyer/staircase, and picked out fans for the upstairs. I was SO tempted to cave and come post to ask opinions on bathroom tile, but I resisted.
Anyway, hi! Did I miss any awesome projects? Please feel free to brag.
Re: Hi D&R!
I decided to give my living room a (much needed) makeover. Current room:

Curtains have already been purchased. Pillows will be on Friday. I'm hoping for the rug for Mother's Day.
Hi! There's a good lookin' dining room further down the page. But I don't think you've missed anything major. Did the initial Nest-linked-to-Facebook scare happen before Lent? If so, they've gotten stupid again and linked our profiles which apparently shares our real name.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
Welcome!
Purging, cleaning and trying to get house market ready (still). Such a process.

Hi Susie!
I was gone for Lent as well, but noticed a lot of blog posts in my reader from you. Your stairway/foyer project is looking great!
HI SUSIE!
I missed you lots.
Hi, Susie!!! I was just wondering yesterday if you'd be back today. (No, I'm not a stalker.
)
You didn't miss much. The board was a little slower than usual, and I don't recall any true drama. There were some good reveals, though. Hopefully those girls will wander in.
Thanks! We finished painting yesterday, so the only thing left is to finish spray painting the banister brackets and re-install. I am really happy with how it came out.
