The Mirror
We hung this gift from JOdi's parents above the fireplace in place of a small weddnig picture we had there. I think it looks pretty good.
The Chairs
Avery has a tendancy to spill food - everywhere. Our kitchen chairs were looking quite disgusting and no amount of cleaning was helping. So, we bought some nice fabric and recovered the chairs and then put a cover of thick plastic over top to facilitate easier cleaning. Despite the fact that I now own plastic-covered furniture, it looks good and is a breeze to clean!
The Basement
We cleaned a large portion of the basement and reorganized all of Avery's toys and Jodi's exercise area. We moved her toy house and slide from outside down there too so she would hopefully play with them some more. Still lots of work to do (like drywall!) but it's coming along.
The Main Floor Bathroom
We decided to paint the small bathrooms. We started with the main floor powder room because it had the fewest nail pops and won't require too much patching up when the builders come back to fix the pops in the drywall next month. We don't like the colour, but we've got a gallon of the stuff so we'll probably find other places to paint that shade too (like the basement possibly).
Master Bathroom
There is a house being build behind us that is HUGE and they will be able to see right into our bathroom, so we bought some of that cheap spray on frosting stuff to block out the window. It looks like crap, but until we can get a proper window in there it will do just fine (the window is open, so the left side is the frosted one and the right is looking right outside).
Avery's Bathroom
This is the one I like the best. It's a nice bright yellow with all the flashy daisies on the accessories and everything. It worked out really well and Avery loves it, so that's a relief.
In other news I have a 2nd interview with a company in Quebec tomorrow, so I have to prepare for some of the more technical questions they might ask me. If anyone has any advice on how to handle tech questions on Java testing, DCOM testing or IIS configuration issues I'd appreciate the help. I've been a manager for so long it's been a while since I've done anything useful in the technical arena. I'll keep y'all posted.
