Kitchen

Not only did we work on the backyard while the M-I-L was here but we also worked on the kitchen. Im really excited to say that we finished the drywall, painted, and I built a bookcase for my cookbooks. Here are those pics.

The big things left to do are pick out base boards and crown molding, install those, sand and paint the ceiling, and hang our new fan. Im not big on having a fan in the kitchen and would rather a good looking fixture but our kitchen gets too hot with the oven on. And as I keep reminding myself...this isn't our "forever" home.

I am really excited about my next project in the living room, I cannot wait to show you. Im going to "create" wallpaper, using a stencil and gold sharpie on the painted wall. I know it sounds crazy but its gonna be super cool and you all will be jealous. Im currently searching for a good stencil that isn't too busy or too small. Anyway, stay tuned.

Backyard!

Hello all! And by all I mean my mom since she's probably the only one that reads my blog posts:) Thanks mom!

Anyway, My mother-in-law came to town a few weeks ago and was cracking the whip, we got some much accomplished, I really cannot believe it. I wanted to show you the back yard and how pretty it has become. We paid a man to haul away all the junk back there, painted my furniture, added plants and put all the random potting junk into a deck box. Im in love. Now it just needs to cool down so I can enjoy my swinging bench, darn it.
