So we still work on the house pretty much every day after work/school...but luckily we're ALMOST finished with the big stuff, so it's just little things...like making pot racks, hanging up clocks...shopping for little things that I've always wanted. I finished most of the kitchen walls...now we're just left with baseboards/crown molding in the kitchen, and everything in the 2 bahtrooms...since we haven't touched them! We're not going to touch the base boards in the kitchen until we get the floors done, which will probably be like 3-4 months since we won't have the money for them until then. We ran out of our1,500$ budget so we're kinda stuck at the moment. Work is going alright...slow but alright. It'll pick up eventually and I know I will LOVE it when it does. Bryce is constantly reading...it's rediculous how much reading he's assigned...like 500 pages a week or something crazy....and it's not like Dr.Seus or anything...it's Karl Marx and stuff like that! He's amazing and still finds time to support me at my volleyball games (I'm on our wards volleyball team.) Oh...and PS....we're in nursery and are in charge of 10 kids every Sunday for 2 hours straight. It's pretty hectic and chaotic but It'll be good for us to have that kid time together. It makes the thought of having 1 kid look like a piece of cake after all those kids! Anyways...that's about it....hope all is well for everyone!
Jasper chilling (look at his legs) what a dork
Jasper asleep with his hammer..
Jasper, our little tool cat
The pot rack we made
The clock I looked everywhere for! Iwanted one to go right on the wall and finally found one at hobby lobby but the numbers were cheap vinyl and looked lame so I bought wooden numbers spray painted them and roughed them up...we love it, but it's not a very accurate clock to go by!
The cats are exhausted..... I can't imagine why?!!! They loved these...I had to yell and remove them BOTH at least 4x before they actually stopped, but I've got to admit...it was hilarious watching them hang from the curtains!
Painting our bedroom...Bryce was frustrated so I wrote him a little love note!
Although we might look happy...we're not...maybe excited (TO BE DONE) , but not happy
It's official....we're home owners...we bought a lawnmower for our dead lawn! :)
Bryce cutting base boards (no shoes, now saftey goggles, no problem)
this is what Bryce did when I said smile...but notice the door frame behind him? doesn't it look good? He's amazing!
Bryce nailing up some crown molding
Bryce's office #1
And again, but sideways...:) oops
office #2 (the cool red door!)
Bryce really wanted a red wall, so he got one! All we need in the office is our crown molding and the other door red and the corner pieces put in and it's done!!!
The guest bedroom (just painted it today) Bryce is putting the baseboards in there right now. I can't wait to set it up so it's not just where we store everything!! It'll be nice!!
Bryce framed 2 of these mirrors that were here...the frame before was just like the crappy crown molding....ugly and cheap!
living room aka: stash crap room as of now
crown molding not done yet (the red doesn't really look orange in real life!)
Our bedroom, new window treatments
one of the 2 nightstands I made (and designed) :) I love them!
our bed, and the newly made headboard/night stands. Oh and double click on this picture and you'll see the holes with light shining through...pretty nifty (and time consuming)
