Tera says, "Oh my gosh - her stuff is totally cute and charming! I love "away she went".
Thanks for the intro to another fabulous artist! There are so-o-o many shops on Etsy it's hard to keep up.
Thanks for stopping by my blog this morning! ;)"


Robin mentioned in my comments it would be hard to know if I was abducted by aliens because I don't blog daily.

And it's so, SOOOO true.

Besides being crazy busy with this house my two year old now refuses to let me use the computer. NO JOKE, he will close the laptop every chance he gets and if he HAPPENS to be entertaining himself, I have Charlotte to feed and change and, well, the list goes on. It takes me DAYS to just get a tiny post finished.

But I do have lots to say (as usual) and will post whenever I can, because, your comments just make me pee my pants laughing and THAT is why I blog!

Here are a few projects we've been trying to complete the last few months.


Our most current project is the kitchen. I just painted all the oak cabinets a creamy white. We are putting crown molding on top of the cabinets today and in the process (between childrens' cries) of putting all the hardware on. Here is a "in the process" set of kitchen pictures.










Here is a before of our guest bathroom:


And after, all done on a $40 budget!


Sawyer's room. More pics to come in another post one day!


Kids' Bath. Again, on a $40 budget. Painted vanity, new hardware, towels, etc.



I still need to put mirrors up in their bathroom.






And another ongoing project is the second guest room/sewing room. Believe it or not, this isn't even the BEFORE picture. When we were in the process of buying this house, the bank failed to winterize in time leaving frozen and eventually broken pipes right outside this room. Geoff had to cut FIVE holes in the walls, FIVE! The holes were left alone for a while and about two months ago, Geoff drywalled them leaving the rest up to me.



Not fully an after. I'm going to upholster a headboard, I need to hang the curtains, hang the art and order myself a few pictures from Cori's shop. The etsy shop that inspired me!




Love you guys! More to come soon, the kids are crying...
