Back on the Wagon

So it's only been about three months- actually it's been almost exactly three months. (Easy to measure the time with this.) But I'm finally getting back on the renovation wagon. We actually don't have much of a choice considering the clock is ticking for when our little one will become mobile and we need to cover all the exposed plaster with the baseboards.

So when Wyatt will allow, I've snuck out to the garage and have resumed chipping off the remaining paint from the baseboards which were dipstripped. This process consists of taking a flathead screwdriver and a hammer and slowly chipping away those stubborn pieces that are ubiquitous in the curves and ridges of our trim. I can get about a foot and a half done in a two hour span so it is slow going, but it's going. I have one piece stained and leaning against the dining room wall for inspiration and it's working. My post baby nesting is taking off with a vengeance and I am more inspired than ever before to get this house looking amazing. Unfortunately I'm also more pressed for time than ever before, but I've never let a little thing like that stop me.
