Sunday Projects

Hey Ya'll!! Its a rainy Sunday here at my house. That means, that I could get a few honey-do jobs marked off my list. Okay, really just one honey-do job, and I had to plead to have that one finished! I was in Lowe's yesterday and made a slight impulse buy. I bought a ceiling fan for the kitchen. Go ahead and scoff all of you interior design types that hate ceiling fans. I'm sorry. I live in Southwest Georgia and it is hot 95% of the year. So functionality wins this one. This is the fan that I bought.

Do you notice what is says on the box? Look closer.

That's right......the five minute fan. I got this one because I knew that would be about the time frame I had for Joseph to put the fan up for me before he got mad with it and wanted to stop. Needless to say, it didn't take five minutes, more like about 30 minutes. And all of 1 minute for Joseph to be complaining about his wife bringing stuff home for him to do on his day off. Whoopsie! But it really helped that it was 90% pre-assembled. Score!! Here is my sweet hubby cussing installing the fan.

You're loving my popcorn ceilings, aren't you. You should be jealous! (not) Here she is. I have already enjoyed the coolness she gives off this evening while I was cooking supper. Happy dance time!

I also started another project. It is yet to be seen how this one will turn out. I grabbed three of these darling pots yesterday at Lowe's. They were basic terra cotta pots. But I jazzed them up with a little bit of high gloss red spray paint. I realize that I am a horrible blogger since I didn't take any before shots. But here are the after.

Aren't they adorable? I got a Parsley and Basil pot. And obviously the "generic" herb pot because apparently nobody plants Rosemary, I guess. But those are the three herbs I am planting. I am being brave by starting out my plants with seeds. Usually I buy plants that are already established, but Lowes doesn't have them this time of year. So here we go!

I basically filled the pots 3/4 of the way full and then dropped a few seeds on the surface. Finally I covered the seeds up with about 1/4 inch of dirt. The packet suggested to plant the seeds every 6 inches or so, but since I have mine in a pot, I figured I would dump some seeds in and hope some take. Then I can just pluck out the plants once the pot gets too full. So, I got all my planters filled up. I placed them by the window and gave them a little bit of water. We should {hopefully} see some sprouting seedlings in about 2 weeks!!

And if you can see on the window, that is indeed rain!! We needed it so very badly. So that's what I have been doing on this somewhat lazy Sunday. You have any projects that you got done? I know my mother got at least one thing done, her closet. She finally watched Hoarding: Buried Alive and had the same reaction that I did. Clean, clean, clean. Throw away stuff, throw away more stuff, and throw away even more stuff! Happy Sunday!!
