Chalk Art

               
 Taping of the chalkboard                                          After one coat   

Finished!

The water heater is in the office behind this framed door.
We thought we would make it functional with the new chalkboard paint.
It went on easy like regular paint (just a little thicker).  
It definitely needed the second coat!
It takes 24 hours to cure, so I will try some chalk once it has dried.
This will be the perfect place for our To-Do list!
I don't know if it's big enough!  Hahaha!

Coming Up Daisies

Here is a new flower that popped up this week!
Beautiful pink flowers!
It seems like we have something new every week.

Getting Organized

I mentioned before that we have been trying to repurpose 
furniture that we already own.  Here is another bookcase from
the office.  It is now our shoe organizer in our closet.
Works for us!

Here is another bookcase from the office.
This one actually made it in our home office.
It's nice to be able to use everything!


Laundry Room

Before

Paint Name: Sea Tickle
(We had a good laugh once it was painted!  Our last house had 
baby blue everywhere....and what is our first color to paint? - Blue!)

Working on getting the shelving up.  We have been trying to
repurpose some of the furniture we already own.  This was a bookcase
we used in our office.  It will work great in the laundry room!
Why buy something new, if you can use what you already have on hand!

Almost Done

Bruce made a nice tabletop for the washer and dryer.
He used an extra desk from the office.  Looks great!






Small Changes - Big Impact Part 5

     
Before                                                             After 

It is a very small change, but looks better to us!
We are actually trying shower drain covers.  It has worked so far!

Have A Great Weekend


Labor Day Weekend Projects Part 5


  
                          
  
We have been busy, busy this weekend!  We planted a cherry tree that we got from Bruce's family as a house warming, built more shelves in the garage, vacuumed kitty litter in the yard (the previous owner had put this in between the stones of the garden path so weeds wouldn't grow.  As I had mentioned, we are going to try to add ground cover plants.) and we mowed the grass.
Today is Bruce's birthday, so we will take today to relax and enjoy our work!  Happy Labor Day!
