The cream just looks dirty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1242574 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 17:12:44 +0000 AmandaB8 1242574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're painting all the trim in our new house - when we bought it, everything was PEACH. It's awful. I'm slowly but surely making it completely white! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1242566 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 17:10:19 +0000 Bookish 1242566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be painting as well! DH needs to finish up giving the outside trim a good coat. He started two months ago :p </p> <p>I'd really like to repaint our door as well, but it depends on how much time we have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1242559 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 17:08:18 +0000 Costello 1242559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Around 12 hours. It dried quicker than I expected and has held up extremely well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1242536 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 16:58:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1242536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Costello: so cool. How long did it take to dry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1242468 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 16:41:33 +0000 Costello 1242468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I painted our front door orange a few months ago. It was white and needed a little punch. By far, it has been my favorite DIY project. :0) </p> [attach=2296/13/mwu9la.600x600.orange-front-door.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1241538 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:33:06 +0000 LovelyPlum 1241538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through all of our clothes this weekend and made a big pile to give to Goodwill. I also installed a bar in our bedroom for hang-drying clothes. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I think it will make a huge difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1241478 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:18:30 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1241478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well it's not the holiday here, but this past weekend we fixed baseboards that the puppy chewed (!!!!) and this coming weekend FIL is coming to help DH finish the electrical work in the basement so we can get it dry-walled ASAP! I plan to do some organizing in the future baby room as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1241474 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:18:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 1241474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been an organizing fool lately and cleaning out stuff to donate to Salvation Army/Homeless Shelter. So I'm hoping to continue on taht track and get our basement exactly how I want it (new bar &amp; play area for LO.) </p> <p>As for painting front door, I just did mine a Navy Blue color and I LOVE it, before it was kind of a sea foam green color from the previous owners, and this is more of a statement! I don't have a pic to share, but I love how strong it is and how my door signs stand out next to it. (we have a yellow-ish cream color siding) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1241472 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:17:07 +0000 plantains 1241472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in closet clean out mode! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1241466 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:15:17 +0000 bushelandapeck 1241466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been hanging up photos, cleaning out closets, and storing toys he doesn't use anymore.

I need to take time over the long weekend to organize my closet &amp; bathroom cabinets! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1241310 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:39:44 +0000 NovBaby1112 1241310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to tackle ripping out the carpet in the stairways and re-painting the treads OR finish painting our dining room. Or re-painting the front porch if the weather is nice. I get overwhelmed when there are too many projects to do and cannot decide which to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1241284 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:33:57 +0000 T-Mom 1241284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a mad cleaning frenzy. I have Salvation Army coming to pick up this weekend. We are thinking of getting a new couch (in laws coming in for Christmas). I am thinking about putting paintings up on the walls. I am thinking about selling our indoor kiddie slide. I'm not going to get it all done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-home-projects-this-week#post-1241273 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:32:08 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1241273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my neighbors repainted their home and I think maybe replaced their garage doors. Whatever they did their house looks fresh and new. Now, they have a bright red front door. </p> <p>While my dad is in town I think we will tackle painting my front doors! Share your painted doors &amp; any tips you have. </p> <p>What are you tackling while you are off this holiday? </p>
