The Christmas Tree Tradition
My good friend Stacy and I have been planning this Christmas tree tradition for MONTHS now...and I mean...since July when it was 105 outside!! We were already thinking old ornaments and Christmas Yes...we have a problem 🙂 A friend of ours, and Stacy's...
O’ Christmas Tree
Isn't it cute! When we went to my parents tonight for dinner Mom had this little box that she gave me. Said it was from some long time family friends for a house warming gift for Kade and I. I opened it up, and this is what I found... Now for...
Christmas #1
Today's the day! I've been frantically making candy the last few days. Did I actually forget to take pictures of that?? I'll have to look into this further! I guess I'll have to fill in with pics of my nieces & nephews. They are all...
Upper Cabinets – YEAH!
Wow...what a difference this makes! Today the installer from the cabinet company came out to help Kade install the upper cabinets. They got busy right at 8 a.m. and were done at about 1. Not bad I don't think. It's amazing what having some help...
Christmas #1 Prep
This weekend we will be celebrating our first Christmas of the season. I always try to be creative and put TONS (entirely too much) thought into what we're going to do for everyone. This year I decided that all of the ladies needed wreaths...LIVE...
Tricky, Tricky
I have GOT to figure out what we're going to be doing for a railing like NOW!!! I just keep putting it off and then putting it off some more 🙂 So what I'm thinking is that we're going to use parts from two old iron baby cribs. They would be the long...
Congratulations are in Order!
Woke up this morning to a very good surprise! I heard a text message come in while I was walking down the stairs, so I just went straight to my phone. Who would be texting me at 8:00 AM on a Sunday morning?? This is what I saw....and a message from Jeffie...
Going Down the Hallway
Just when I thought we'd picked up speed, lol! I should have known better! My thinking....oh...the hallway is narrow so it will at least seem like we're working faster. We had to get the hallway closet doors installed to... OMG!! I thought they'd...
Another One Down!
Woo-hoo! Master Bedroom flooring....CHECK! (Well...almost) We've still got to turn around in the bathroom, so that's about 2', and then we've got to do all of the cut pieces that go around the finished edge. Still though...more progress...and...
Back to The Floor…and MO PITNEY!! YEAH!!
We're back to working on the floor today. Have I mentioned that when you bounce between projects that it takes FOREVER to finish anything?? Well, that's just the way it goes I guess. We've always got to do just one more thing before we can continue...
It’s Finally In!
Since Scott is home for Thanksgiving we had him help move the kitchen countertop in today...that bad boy is HEAVY! Kade and I have moved it a few times, but I just couldn't do it today. There it is in all of its glory! It fit PERFECTLY on top of the sink. ...
Happy Thanksgiving!
Kade worked on the house until about 2, then we took the rest of the day off. We had to give tours this afternoon! 🙂 All of my family was here - first time in a long time. How many people could we pile in the truck? There were 3+ a dog in the cab too! The weather was...
We Have a Winner!
The winning lights for above the kitchen island are the utility style pendants! We both really like them (and that hardly ever happens.) They're just high enough that they're not right in Kade's face 🙂 You can see the hand scraping on the floor. So...
More Doors & Countertops!
Another new door is in! Although I don't love installing them, I LOVE what they can do in terms of positive change when they are fully installed! Remember our old side garage door? So gross! and now the new door! It even makes our skin colored...
The New Front Door
Oh my gosh, I am in love again 🙂 Today we got the new front door installed that Kade's cousin Brent put together for us. Actually, my brother, Scott was home, and he came and helped Kade get that in...and install the door knob. Now I can't wait to change...
A Big Arrival
UPS, UPS, my favorite!!! (sorry FedEx) Today we got our NEW clawfoot tub. Since we ended up not being able to use the old one that I had been saving for YEARS AND YEARS...I had to order a new one. Why didn't we just completely build a new...
Backsplash City!
It's like non-stop backsplash around here lately! Kitchen, clutter room and laundry! But we're just about done with all three! YEAH! Today I figured out which tile/pattern that we're going to use behind the laundry sink. Of course....it...
Another Backsplash
Today I figured out the backslash pattern for the clutter room and got to work! Who knew that I'd like marble so much?? Still not exactly sure what I'm doing behind the laundry sink....I'm going to have to think about that one a little more 🙂 Pattern all...
