Life in the Fast and Furious Lane




Things in the Johnson Household have been INSANE to put it lightly.


Our fury in getting the house ready to show went into frenzy-mode as Josh's time to leave for Arizona grew closer. We painted, cleaned, demo-ed, retiled, grouted, plumbed, drywalled, and noticed the sun rising nearly everyday for over a week. It was rough! Seriously, the sunrise thing. I know that watching the sun rise is supposed to be a beautiful, introspection of the beauty of the earth and our place within it, but when you're getting three to four hours of sleep a night (morning), that sunrise is not as wonderful to see. But, we got most of it done before Josh left for Arizona Tuesday morning and my dad and I finished the rest of it. (Thanks, Dad!!)


These are poorly taken, but try to envision the fruits of our labors.
Our room-- no longer the beige room with beige curtains.

The family room with the infamous drywall replacement where we found the money and porn.

The new bathroom with new tile and countertop. It used to be 1970s light blue countertop and tub tile with blue/brown linoleum.

The new bathtub tile.

The newly painted mailbox, new porchlight, and new address. It's pretty.

It really looks great!

One question: Is it on the market YET?

Holy crap I say... Holy crap!!! It all looks great! Is your bedroom wall a brown color or red? I'm thinking of doing mine brown. But then I'd have to get a new comforter and I don't think James would go for it yet. I can't believe how much you guys have done. The tiling looks awesome!

Everything looks great! Did 'Designed to Sell' stop by? You guys ROCK!

I'm with you - sunrises are lame. I like my sleep!

Wow, good for you. I'm tired just thinking about getting a house ready to sell. Good luck with everything! It looks great.
