Ready for your junk

Ok, this is not the most exciting project, but you’re getting it anyway because it’s my blog and I do what I want to. Last weekend I was doing a lot of work in the guest room closet. It was really hot. I was annoyed and tired, but I knew it was now or never. I appreciate when people tell me I should have my hubby sand, prime and paint things now, but my perfectionism doesn’t care that I’m pregnant. So I did it. I did make him rip out all the carpet, though. The closet in this room had lots of water damage and yellowed trim.

Hello, lost Victoria’s Secret slipper! Now, where is the other one? So sorry for the terrible pics, this closet is a small lightless hole. And it’s been this way since we moved in 4 years ago. Inside, it was even nastier.

Lots of plaster was falling away and it was just a flaky, terrible mess. The floor under the carpet is almost black with old damage. I did make Shaun scrape the worst of it, use some joint compound to spackle the walls smoother, then sand the next day. I realize that is the cheater way to fix crumbling plaster, but when you’re ready to deliver a baby, you’re just trying to GET IT DONE. While waiting for the walls to dry I got busy with all the trim in the closet, using Behr Ultra Pure White in satin, our go-to trim paint.

And finally, I painted the walls with Behr Antique White, which is in all our hallways and is a lighter color than the walls in this room. This was really fun to do with my belly since the closet is barely wider than a hanger!

I neglected to take a pic of the inside to show you how nicely the damaged walls turned out, because that is where I immediately shoved some suits and dress shirts that ~~have no hope of fitting into~~ I don’t currently wear. Just trust me, it looks nice. I added back some accessories to make it easy for regular guests (like my in-laws) to store junk, or clothes, whatever.

In other news, my due date was yesterday and I am not dilated or thinned at all. My cervix apparently doesn’t know how this thing works. I am now scheduled to be induced Monday night and I’m desperately hoping to avoid that! Here I am on D-day, other than some extra pressure ‘down there’ I’m feeling really good.

My BP is great, baby’s heartbeat is great, no swelling, no weight gain, no issues. I started my maternity leave from work today to finish everything around the house and be completely ready, hopefully that and walking a lot will get things going naturally. Wish me luck, and if you were ever induced without dilating first, I’d love to hear your story! To me it sounds like a very long labor that my body just isn’t ready for, but my doctor is insisting it’s the right decision. Blah.
