OK so some of you know my husband Steve and I am sure you've heard me call him a hobo a few times over the years. Hobo just doesn't describe how messy he is!! Steve has a study and he has as you know many hobbies and interest but, since we bought this house, I've come to realize he is a pack rat! A year ago me and my daughter Holly went in and cleaned it really nice, hung new curtains, you name it. He had went to New York to get our son in laws car before he left on deployment so I took advantage of him being gone. the room looked pretty good in such a little time.
Well it's been a year and lets say Steve has never cleaned since! maybe he swept once in a while just so he could get to his chair at his computer...lol We have three big Golden Retrievers and red clay for dirt that gets everywhere. So I thought for his birthday I would do something big like clean and paint it. I think I was in his room just a few hours when I realized I can't do it all alone or in 1 day. So my other daughter Mandy offered to help. We never thought it would take 4 days and one no sleep night to get it done but we did it! I couldn't wait to show him. He has such nice things to be covered with dirt and filth. We put so much though in to it. As hard as it was, it was well worth it to see his face smiling! Steve doesn't get happy very often and even when he does it never last very long. It makes us so sad and we know it will always be temporary but we do things to make him smile even if only for a minute because we think he is worth it.
Here is a pic of his Study..
