Lowe's a.k.a. what has my life become?

I used to get excited about shopping at

Old Navy, Target, Burlington, and the mall

NOW......

I get excited about shopping at Lowe's!

What is going on?!

The fiance and I have begun renovating his new house, specifically starting in the Master Bedroom. It started out as repainting the walls (which were just plain white with the exception of one wallpapered wall) and stripping the trim (which was painted baby blue). But I quickly discovered those things in themselves required stripping the paper, sanding the walls, fixing the walls, fixing the holes the fiance put into the walls (gotta love him!), and then painting!

We also made the executive decision to pull up a corner of the carpet in the closet to see if we had some nice hardwood (which we did!)

We also discovered this cool little test from Lowe's online to check the quality of your uncovered hardwood floors with water! Lowe's Hardwood Floor How-To

So we've got a room with no wallpaper, no trim, bare and gorgeous hardwood floors, a few small places to repair in the wall, and one large place to repair because we discovered ants! At least we're ant free now!

I have high hopes for this weekend and getting some serious work done!

What are your home improvement projects or are you lucky and have none?!
