Last year, we painted the laundry room this awesome shade of turquoise! This pictures doesn't QUITE do it justice, but you get the idea! We also bought the shoe bench and shelving at Ikea on a big shopping trip! Lots of storage for all the stuff that accumulates near a front door!
I got my new jars for my spice rack, and even did some crafting with them! I ended up getting a set of alphabet metal stamps and stamping the herb name into each lid. I found this was much better than trying to find a pre-made set that had "Lawry's" and "Lemon Pepper" in addition to "Parsley" and "Thyme"
We finally removed the half-wall and spindles that broke up and dated our main room! Brian worked hard demolishing, then patching, and it looks great!
We painted the downstairs guest room! It looks so fresh with bright new curtains, too! Next, a new bedspread. This cheery room is just waiting for guests if you're ever in the area!
Lastly, but CERTAINLY not least, we just finished redoing our flooring! Out with the brown shag, and in with beautiful "Luxury Vinyl" floors! With the exception of Izzy slipping and sliding all over the place, everyone loves them! Again, Brian has been hard at work. The new floors cover almost the entire upstairs, including kitchen, dining, living, hall, and both bedrooms. Our rug for the living room is currently on back-order, and we still need to get the baseboards and some of the furniture back in, but it is a large project almost complete!
Next comes actually getting something up on the living room walls! Outside work is coming yet before winter, as well. Then it will be the downstairs family room - a fun project for sure! Always a project to be completing as a home owner, and we are enjoying it (most of the time)!
