So Long Gold

Before

Painted silver and gold trim is almost gone!

Finished!  Looks much better!!!

Red All Over

We are happy to be able to see all of our red dishes in the new house.

Put A Fork In Me, I'm Done!
A fun new addition to our dining room…
a huge fork!  Love it!
Great conversation piece.



Kitchen Knobs and Broomsticks

The new knob is on the right - looks cool!
Looking forward to seeing all the cabinets finished.

Old gold on the left
New cool, modern silver on the right


Happy Hinges

  
Before: Gold is not our favorite color. 
Time for an update

After: Paint can do wonders to lots of things!
This will save money in the long run - so glad it worked so well.

Yard Work

Here's trusty helper!  Finally getting all the weeds and tree limbs 
burned today!  We have mountains of weeds and branches - 
it's nice to finally see them gone!


Autumn Colors





We had to share the wonderful fall colors that are happening
at the Harris House!  Enjoy!

Shut The Door

Busy measuring before adding the moulding

Moulding has been added 

Starting to spray the paint.  We chose a very dark navy!

All painted on the front, next will be the backs.
Looking good so far!

           
  New doorknobs                                    The doors are installed!  Yahoo!

Lots of work, but they look great!

The studio is complete!  We are very proud of our hard work!


Inside the Artist's Studio Part 6


It's beautiful!!!!
We painted, put flooring down, base board, built shelving and 
a work bench.  It looks GREAT!
Can't wait to get in there and create!!!
Now I have to start unpacking all of my supplies.

Inside the Artist's Studio Part 5

The walls are primed and ready to paint.
I picked a nice light cream for the walls.

The doors look great!  
We finished the framing around the door and window done.
We also have a nice mess going on outside.
When you are creating, you have to make a mess!

Time to sand everything down!  Dust is flying!



Inside the Artist's Studio Part 3


Now on to the mud and taping!  It's starting to look like 
an art studio.  Very exciting!!!

Inside the Artist's Studio Part 2

Drywall is going up smoothly

The door was much easier than putting in the window.

We chose a nice rainy day to put the door in place.
Rain, wind, thunder....best construction weather!!!

Inside the Artist's Studio



Working on the insulation

Art Studio

        
          The gardening shed                           The small window on the side

My new $20 window from Habitat for Humanity

      
Waiting for the new window                                          All in place

After

It was a pain in the butt, but it will be much nicer with a larger window.
We still have to add a frame around the window.
Looking forward to getting setup in my studio!
