finished projects


We have been working on these projects for a little while, and they are now finished! Kyle built this shelf (a mock of one from Crate and Barrel that I really wanted) but it was free... already had the wood and paint, just a lot of work and it looks great.

My table runner is completed! RoseAnn helped me put the finishing touches on it yesterday. It looks great. I used the same fabric that I made the pillows out of on our couches.
Our next big project is the kitchen! As soon as that tax credit for the house comes back we are going to get started... can't wait to stop cooking in the 70's!

House updates and visitors!


So it has been quite a while and lot has happened since our last update. We have finished our renovations to the upstairs, above is our bedroom. We got pretty fancy with the paint in here- the back wall is a shade darker blue than the 3 other walls, kinda hard to tell in the picture but looks really cool! We are still going to paint all the trim but wanted to wait until the spring so we can open all the windows to paint them.

Here is the bathroom on the main floor, it was already done but I just made this curtain! It might be my favorite room in the house because it has the cute finishing touch.

This is the guest bedroom... still need to hang things on the walls, looks a little bare.

This is the long awaited craft room that was started over a month ago! Same color as the downstairs bathroom, it turned out great! Now I can't wait to start creating things.

We had visitors from the west coast! They traveled all the way from the end of 90 to the beginning out here! Although, fortunately they didn't have to drive the whole thing. Brandon and Amy came to visit and we had a great time seeing them and showing them around. We went to Boston for a day, Newport, RI and even had a lobster dinner at home!

Here we all are in Boston on the oldest street in the country! We also enjoyed a trolley tour throughout the town learning all the history of the city. It was tons of fun... thanks for coming!
