Low-key weekend?
Ah does everyone remember that I mentioned on Friday’s post that I didn’t really have anything going on this weekend?
Well due to that this nutty lady woke up Sunday morning and decided that she was tired of seeing the Florida room the same exact way for a year and half.
You see we always wanted to turn the room into an all season room and make this my office. We would get rid of those windows and switch them for new French doors onto a new deck that we wanted to built as well, put in bamboo floors, mount flat screen tv to the wall, etc.
Well due to the economy we are trying to tighten our belts so we decided to wait on this project for the time being. We were just going to leave it as is until then, but I came up with a plan and after a $90 trip to Lowes we started working on the new in between look for the Florida room.
Here it is in it’s current state:
Ok so it still doesn’t look so great, but I swear I have an amazing idea for it. I just need a bit more time. I was painting last night till 10:30pm. I pretty much painted myself from head to toe, because I’m such a messy painter and did I mention I was a bit clumsy? Towards the end of the night I tipped over a gallon of white primer and it went everywhere!
Ah today’s another day and up early and ready to continue my painting.
I hope your day is filled with BBQs, sunshine and fun, because mine will be filled with paint fumes, painters tape and rollers.
Happy Memorial Day!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Looks great- good change! Throw down a sisal on the floor and you are on your way!
The mishap with the paint… I’ve done that very thing-messy job!
I think your perk-up looks great. Just in time for a summer lift.
Can’t wait to see where you are going to go with this. I’m sure it will be fab.
I’m glad to know that I’m not the only messy painter.
Looks bright and cheery, already – can’t wait to see the rest!
Oh a good project! Can’t wait to see the results.
I’m loving it so far. It looks like a wonderful room!
Wow! White paint does wonders for a smaller room. It looks so bright-and it’s going to look so great when you’re finished.
Can’t wait to see the finished product! Good luck and thanks for sharing.
I think that is a fab way to spend a weekend! You will be so glad for all of your hard work! Keep us posted!
Oh, it looks like a fun project! I am a messy and clumsy painter too.
I wish I had your motivation. So far so good, looks great!

xoxo
good luck! It will be so worth it!
mine was filled with glue, paper, and fabric! can’t wait to see your finished product.
You’re not alone. I have spilled paint, only it was in my friends’ house and went beyond the dropcloth, onto her peach color carpet. Luckily, it all came up.
Nothing like a can of paint and a little nutty lady syndrome to take effect — I love that about you,
and me. I know it will be great!
