We’ve made the littlest bit of progress in the dining room. No, we still don’t have a real (non-folding) table. Dean is going to get to that sometime between now and Canadian Thanksgiving. Right, honey? But we do have a dining room chandelier that I adore. It is THE ONE. I originally saw it at The [...]
If you follow us on Facebook, you may have noticed that we painted a chalkboard wall in our dining room. I originally thought I wanted to put the chalkboard wall in the kitchen. But after living with it in the dining room for several weeks it is SO PERFECT here. I have to say it was a [...]
Well, I’m still painting, so this post will be quick. We’ve been making progress in our kitchen and dining room. The kitchen has a full-size dishwasher installed now (as opposed to the mini apartment sized one that was here when we moved in) and an over-the-range microwave (to save on counter space). Yay for function! [...]
As much as we’d love to be sharing all of our Christmas decorating with you right now (it’s not up yet!), we’ve got other things to share with you. Fun things like sharing what are sure to become BEFORE photos of our new BACKSPLIT! Now do remember that these are Realtor photos and that the [...]
On this day {Feb 7th, 2011} last year we began several weeks of renovations to our living room & dining room. We woke up to ice damming and soggy wet ceilings because our eaves troughs had frozen – leaking water along the TOP side of our ceiling drywall. Which resulted in bubbling, hanging, sagging drywall. [...]
So part of the whole process of the Crafting With The Stars competition has been that all projects were anonymous. The idea behind that was so the projects that got voted for were the best ones…you know, so that big ginormous blogs couldn’t send their readers to vote for their particular project. To give the [...]
Ahhhhh. The appraisal is finished. I am curled up on the couch with my babies vegging out today. Man, that was a cuh-razay 24 hours! We cleaned, tidied & staged everything. And by 4 pm yesterday we were exhausted! (Thank you so much Debbie for taking the kids yesterday afternoon – it was a huge help!!) [...]
****THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH SUNNY-DAY PHOTOS!!! **** The sun came out for about ten minutes on Black Friday – of all days! So we quickly snapped some new photos. Enjoy! It is finally finished! That giant piece that is our buffet and hutch is done…and looking beautiful, I might add. First let me apologize [...]
That is (not) the question! Whether ’tis nobler…Sorry, I’m being punny (ack!). I’ll stop. Really the question is, what type of bench? Let me explain. Since our dining room is technically part of our living room (one lovely room at the back of our house that measures about 30×15) and our living room just had a [...]
So it’s Wednesday again, hump day, and that means it’s time for another installment of Wish List Wednesday. Today I’m thinking it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I know it’s not even the end of October yet (and it is crazy warm here), but for some reason this year the Christmas spirit has hit early. [...]
