Ever since I first looked at our house, the wallpaper was NOT one of my favorite features. But my dear hubby assured me that we could rip it all down and he would paint every room in the house if I wanted. And even change the color if I didn’t like it in a room. [...]

And the wall(paper) came tumbling down.

Lights

A friend told me yesterday that he thinks I’m the only woman in the county who didn’t want a gazebo and got one with my house! It’s not that I don’t like the gazebo in our backyard, but it was never something I wished for – or even thought about, really.
But I like it. What’s [...]
Sunshine

Sunshine.
Any sunshine, especially during this rainy week is a beautiful thing to celebrate.
The girls and I saw the sun rise (just minutes before it disappeared into the clouds for the day) on an early trip to the store Wednesday.
And I saw the morning sun shining on this fruit box in my kitchen.
I’m linking this to [...]
The new bench
Posted in Belleville, craftiness, family, house on October 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
We got an early Christmas present this month. Made by my dad to fit perfectly by our kitchen table. I could not be more excited! He had some great help carrying it inside and then the kids explored it in the entry way.
They seem to like it pretty well. The girls sit on it to eat [...]
DIY cupboard insert
Posted in craftiness, house, thrifty on October 26, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Well. I did it. I fixed the cupboard under the sink in the kitchen. Here’s a look at the before:
I asked my super-cool, helpful brother-in-law (who builds churches!) what I should do and he said to get another piece of the beadboard (I did know that) and put it in with glazing points – like [...]
Procrastination over!

I did it. I “fixed” the bathroom to be usable AND pretty! Of course, the big trashcan and stool by the sink had to stay, but the view from the most-used seat in the house is much better now.
(My motivation came from Melissa at the The Inspired Room having a Procrastinator Party – go see [...]
A smile for doing dishes.

I got tired of looking at this next to my sink, but I (and the sweet hubby) like having it on the counter instead of in the cupboard:
So I tried this for a more attractive solution, but it wasn’t easy to pour and left soap all over the counter:
So I bought a small bottle of [...]
These are a few of my favorite things
Posted in craftiness, house, little things on October 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »
No new shelving for me right now. But these favorite fabrics, throws, bedspreads, sheets and lovely antique thread and buttons dress up the plastic grayness of these shelves.
Besides where else am I going to put these lovely textures and patterns!
I got almost all of the thread and buttons for a dollar at an estate auction [...]
Procrastination

Well, here it is, what you’ve been waiting for while I’ve been procrastinating (ok, so you weren’t waiting, but I was procrastinating!).
The bathroom. Here’s a couple “before” or “currently” pictures of how our upstairs bathroom has looked since we moved in two months ago. Except for a while there were even more boxes and junk [...]
Fall (and maybe some summer)
Posted in Belleville, family, house, kids, outside, pictures on October 1, 2009 | 11 Comments »
Well, it’s fall and it’s October. Today it was also 80 degrees! Anyway, I added this bit of fall to my mantel (now that I have mantel, I ought to do something with it, right?) the other day and wanted to share it with you. Because I know you’ve been waiting to see it. (OK, [...]
