So Eric kindly didn't pressure me to work on the house in my summer rush to prepare my portfolio for the annual SCBWI summer conference. But after the bathroom downstairs sat untouched by us for over a month, we were both ready to have the nice shower working again. So we did what any lazy individual would do: call in the pros. So now all that is left in the bathroom is some minor touch-up painting, doorknobs on the sink cabinet, a small bit of baseboard, and getting some artwork on the walls. Oh, and to find the second door pin that I misplaced while painting the door frame. oops.
Because of this, we had a working downstairs bathroom just in time for the upstairs bathroom shower to crap out on us--either that or our tinkering with the downstairs plumbing caused issues with the upstairs plumbing.
The next project is to get back to painting the kitchen cabinets, which I did a little bit 2 weekends ago and potentially will do a bit more of this weekend.

| I'm putting the first coat on the outsides of the bottom cabinets with the help of my favorite reality tv shows on the laptop. The color is nice, but we'll definitely need a second coat. |

| The photo reminds me we also need to buy a toilet-paper holder, since we forgot one when we bought the towel racks. |

| the shelf notch that we were hesitant to do ourselves from inside the cabinet. |
