1. Although it doesn't look that exciting, Chuck changed the side on which the hinges were placed on this cabinet door. Initially, the door opened to the window--not the most convenient. But one Saturday morning he surprised me by doing this!
2. My mom gave me this cute three-picture frame for my birthday. I love it. And after the surprisingly good results from our family pictures, I knew what would fill them. In the middle is a custom word cloud made from this site.
3. Rhett's bookcase was initially just plain brown wood. But then I painted it (and some of our brick backyard patio--oops) white!
4. I obtained some new, some old pictures of family and then made them black and white. I then had them printed and now they are sitting on the piano.
5. To match the curtains, I ordered one yard of this fabric and staple gunned it to artist canvas. I'm super pleased with the result!
Next on the list: painting the master bedroom. If I agree to Chipotle for Chuck's lunch for one week, then it will likely be a shade of purple!
We had horizontal blinds in the bathroom window. However, they started getting mildewy as we have no bathroom fan. (There is also that small thing where I'm not dedicated to cleaning them.) As I am no exhibitionist (sorry), we still needed something to cover the window. When I saw these at Home Depot, I knew they'd be perfect. I'm trying to figure out where else I could put them.
Apparently the baby's room is the only one I care about decorating. It's really far more fun than any other room. Last weekend we put up the vinyl decals (click the picture to see them larger) and Wednesday night we got these pictures hung. The only remaining thing is figuring out how to treat the windows!
Oh yes, that new picture of Bruno? Apparently he likes to eat paint. Silly puggie.
Another peek into the house.
I finished these cafe curtains for the kitchen when the tension rods finally arrived yesterday. (This picture doesn't show the second window.)
And the interesting branch above the cutout? I think it's one of those things you either love or hate. Obviously, I'm feeling the love.
I always get nervous when I post pictures of my house because I have a friend (cough, cough Camie) who is an interior designer and she makes me feel self-conscious about my decorating decisions. Not because she's like that; rather, I am.
But with a baby who is finally learning to take good naps (he's got 90 minutes already into this one!), I'm finally able to start getting some stuff done. Hallelujah. Just in time for me to go back to work...sigh.
Anyway, here's the handiwork of the weekend, when we should have been writing sacrament talks instead. The top color looks a little brighter than it is in real life, but it's pretty close. We're super pleased. We just hope Rhett is too. It is his room after all.
And during yesterday's morning nap, I was able to finish these. I am in LOVE with them and walk by them at least 40 times a day.
I am waiting for the rest of the hardware to arrive so that I can finish my cafe curtains for the two windows in the kitchen.
Viva la nap time!
