finished

Todd and I went to Ikea a week ago intending to buy some bookshelves for downstairs. As we were looking we decided that Todd could make some just as good, better quality wood and for cheaper. We took this picture as our inspiration and came up with this.

Now I just need to find things to fill it up with. Here are some pillows I found yesterday for our bed. I have a lot more stuff to do to finish but this is a start.

more stuff

Todd and I have the home improvement bug, we cant stop starting new projects. We finally finished a couple of them (enough to post, at least).

Todd made these frames and I spray painted them. So Easy!

Todd finished the ladder and railing in the playroom. The kids are so excited to sleep up there tonight.

The guest room. I still need to take out my cedar chest. that's me in the mirror.

I am looking for a great old lamp. This is the quilt todd gread grandma pieced and his grandma finished for our wedding.

I painted the coffee table added a few pillows, this room needed some color.

Some Changes

After coming home from Amber's house Todd and I got an itch to start some new projects. The first was our bedroom. We had a log bed with matching furniture that Todd made for us when we were first married. We both still love it but didn't want it in our room any more, so we moved it into the guest room and went to the RC Willey outlet and bought a new headboard. I didn't want to go out and buy new side tables so Todd used some leftover wood and made theses floating ones. I still have a lot of work left to do but it's fun to see a change. The second project was our barstools. The fabric was getting old looking so I went out and bought new fabric and wahla... 20 minutes of work and new barstools. they add a nice punch of color to the kitchen, now I just have to keep my kids from spilling on them!!!

Next project...... wainscotings on the family room walls.

I have bloggers block

I have had limited Internet access lately and have gotten out of blogging mode. The past few times I've sat down to write something it takes forever to think of something and then before I can post it it gets deleted. Amber told me to just post something, so here is something.
