What Would You Do?

Here's the kid' bath...

Beautiful isn't it?

Lets play a little I SPY...

I see a tape measure.

I see a toilet.

I see a can of pledge.

I see a bottle of shampoo.

I see a wastebasket.

I see a broken vanity top.

This is what I see when I go up the stairs.

I see Izzy's name.

I see an unfinished project...that would be the printer's tray....hanging on the wall for way too long, virtually empty.

I see a birch branch.

I see an ugly lightbulb.

I see a tin bucket hanging on a hook.

I see this behind the door.

I tried to close my eyes.

I opened them and this mess was still there.

I see an attempt at repurposing an ugly medicine cabinet...worked for a few years.

I see a C for Carl.

Now Carl would probably like a car....four years from the license, TERRIFYING!

Pray that they up the age to 18.

I see a L for Linnea.

Linnea doesn't always behave like a lamb. How does a lamb behave?

I see a S for Sofi.

Sofi can be a steamroller. Maybe that should stay? Yesterday she gave her "little" sister a bloody nose by hitting her with a pillow.

I see an E for Izzy.

Izzy does not start with an "E," and she surely doesn't resemble an elephant.

I do know how to spell.

Izzy's name has caused lots of confusion.

When I did this little modge-podge five minutes of fun, she went by Ella, which does start with an "E."

So....that needs to all be removed.

I'm scared to see what we find when remove it....

Dad if you're reading this, don't tell me.

I love surprises!

Here's a beauty of a picture.

The window frame was my pathetic attempt to deal with the unframed mirror.

At the time I had virtual twin two year olds, and little time to decorate.

At the time this 2 minute decorating project made me happy.

Now it doesn't.

I didn't know how to deal with the lights.

So...I pretended they weren't there.

Funny, maybe that's why my girls love candlelight baths...

The paint on the wall is black.

I don't mind it....but others think I was nuts to paint the room black.

They shall remain nameless.

So my dear reader,

What would you do with this lovely mess?

I have a toilet.

I need at least a new vanity top...the base is white.

Right now it's sitting in the dining room....we almost hauled it to the curb this morning.

We kept it there, as visions of dollar signs pranced in our heads.

I need to figure out a new medicine cabinet.

I need a new floor.

I need to appease an almost teenage boy, and three girls.

Linnea is rooting for lime green and polka dots.

Carl's not on board.

I need a plan by tomorrow when my dear husband's feet hit the ground.

He wants to work on it all day.

I don't do well making family trips to Home Depot, Lowe's and Menards while under pressure to make a decision.

Not well at all.

Help me please???
