things are getting done and it makes me happy...

No project (save the mudroom) is done. We have several projects in transition but they are getting done.

I painted the living room and hallway yesterday and actually love the paint colors. How often does that happen to me?

Here is the progress on the stairs. All that is left is to paint a bigger frame around the chalkboard and find some frames to put on the wall. Oh and pull off the carpet, paint the stairs and refinish the stair rail (which you may be able to see I already started. You may also see some clean clothes that need to be taken up. Hint, hint girls.

Here is why we did the emergency chalkboard wall redo. Click here...

That is Darth Vader on the large chalkboard in case you were wondering.

The girls and I made this today for the stairs hallway window. This idea has been in my head for awhile.



And I finally sewed a curtain for the mudroom door (the side in the house). I know the trim isn't done yet but we are waiting to build in some school bookshelves next to the door.


We are almost done on the stairway wall emergency revamp and are starting the built in bookcases in the hallway. The upstairs bathroom is just waiting for us to buy one more sink at the reStore and then we can lay down the counter top. The front concrete steps are coming out on Saturday in anticipation for new steps and a new front door (that actually closes all the way, how about that!)

Amy, I love seeing your creativity at work creating beautiful places for your family to live! It is inspiring how you make curtains out of salvaged skirts and even paper circles. And it's beautiful! Thank you for sharing with all of us!

Hi love the wall!!!! I also love the yellow door and curtain.I have a chalkboard door in my kitchen and just discovered bistro chalk markers.They come in fun colors and the best part is that it eliminates a lot of the chalk dust.
