Here's how I spend my days....

I thought I would bring you up to date on the remodeling that we have been doing here in the Las Vegas house. After about a month, we are getting most things back to normal. Carpet was laid on Monday and since then we have been working to get things put back. We still need to hang the pictures, replace the mop boards in the bathroom and find a home for some miscellaneous things. It looks SO nice. Hopefully before I leave for Ogden on Saturday we can have it done and done.

Now, as I mentioned, I will be traveling to Ogden again this Saturday. Life doesn't seem to slow down for me at all. There are lots of birthdays in the family that we will be celebrating and, of course, Memorial Day. I will be there for eight or nine days and Larry will be joining my next Thursday. I hope to get some yard work done as well as party with the kids and visit parents. It is always hard to uproot and break my schedule every two or three weeks but well worth it. I get to see my children and most importantly, my nine adorable grandchildren. I also love just being home where everything is so familiar and I know where everything is (I am getting to know Las Vegas pretty well though, at least the West end, oh, and, McCarren Airport).
When I get back to Vegas? Yes, you guessed it. I will be starting on another room. We have company coming in June and I need to get three bedrooms ready for that.

Update on the Updating........

In my last blog I mentioned the fact that Larry and I are remodeling the master bedroom and master bathroom. This week we painted the rooms a very warm taupe color. I really love it. However, we are now trying to match tile for the bathroom floor and carpet for the bedroom to the paint. We have finally decided on the tile. Not the one we originally thought we wanted. Now we are facing the carpet dilemma. We have had no less than seven samples of carpet here in the last week and still can't decide. Tonight we were in a local furniture/carpet store and I had about ten samples laying out on the floor with the tile sample and a large size paint sample. Some pieces of carpet seem too dark, others too pink and yet others too yellow. (Side note: the salesman said that watching me decide on a carpet color was more entertaining than gambling.) Did we choose the right paint color? I think we are down to two samples to choose from. We have to make a decision by Saturday so it can be ordered. I will be happy to have the bedroom put back together again. As much work as it has been (and we still have the very big job of tiling to go), I look forward to the next project.
