lots of projects

We have been busy busy people lately. I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog. But after you see all the things we have done you will know why. The very first thing we did was carpet Madisyn's room. Our whole house is hard wood floors and Madisyn's room is the only room in the house that had the original hardwood exposed. Why cover up 110 year old wood you ask....because it has been painted over and over a million different colors and we don't think we want spend the amount of time and money it would take to make them look nice so we put carpet in and it makes her room look very warm and inviting. So the next project was Tim's idea he wanted to take down the screen that enclosed our wrap around porch on the front of the house. I wasn't to sure at first because it was a nice place to sit at night in the summer and not get eaten alive but then when I thought about how many times we did that it really was not a lot...so he took it off and I couldn't believe what a difference it made. Our house looks very big from the front now. Eventually we will put a railing all the way around but for now it looks fine too.

Our bedroom was next on the list we made a headboard and added the words, Always kiss me goodnight and we got new bedding. I love my room it finally feels like a bedroom. Our bedroom was originally the family room but we wanted the kids to each have their own room so we have the family room down stairs. Hopefully next year I will have a closet!!!! which will be a big renovation project.

We also made a few improvements to the kitchen the first picture is the way the kitchen looked when we bought the house we changed the counter top put in an island and matching china cabinet and we took out the punched tin that was in the cabinets and replaced it with frosted glass. I am really happy with the way it turned out.
