Random Projects Finished

Grant loves making crafts and has brought home some really cute things from preschool. So I decided to make a display board for him. Ignore the gold paint on the wall- someday it will be repainted :). Great job Grant!

Over a Year ago I saw a quilt design on a quilt blog (piecenquilt.blogspot.com) and fell in love with this pattern! So I enlisted the help of my wonderful mother-in-law, Kathy, to help me with this project for Madelynn. I think it turned out fantastic! I can't wait until we finish Madelynn's room.

It's hard to tell from my poor photography skills, but Kathy did an amazing job on the quilting. She doesn't have a long arm quilt machine and so did it all on her machine, which I think it so impressive!

Now on to some random house projects-Before and Afters.

This is the Living room from the Selling Brochure. The walls look cream, but they were actually a light green.

This is after we moved in and replaced the carpet- already smells better :)


We pulled all of the brown trim (casing, crown, and base) out and replaced it with white trim. Painted the ceiling (Dover White) and the walls a color called High Tea- again the picture doesn't do the color justice, but this is Chris and my favorite color in the house. We replaced all of the light switch plates, electrical outlets and plates, and the baseboard diffusers. Looks so much better! Eventually we'll get furniture :)

We used custom made crown molding corners. They make the crown installation a lot easier and we love the way they look.

We are taking a break from house renovation for the winter because it is too cold to paint the trim in the garage and because I am getting more uncomfortable with the pregnancy- so we'll resume in the spring.
