Around the House



Look at that! We finished our project! They may not be perfect, please don't point it out! We don't care! Let me tell you, getting them level and evenly spaced and what not was not an easy task. I think we did a pretty good job though! Kirby did most of the work, but I was a spectacular assistant. I still plan on painting the brackets because I can see them when I am sitting on the couch, and it bothers me! I also plan on putting different knick-knacks and pictures on the shelves, but we were so excited to see how it looked, we just couldn't wait! If you look closely, you may see where I got the clever new name for my blog. I love the shelves and think they are perfect for this little spot! Honestly, this was Kirby's idea...I think he's secretly been browsing Pinterest. ;)

You may have noticed Tony on TV. We've been watching The Soprano's. We are on season 5. Kirby is obsessed. We thought we were almost done because there are 6 seasons, and then we found out there are 20, yes, 20, episodes in season 6! What?!?

Anywho, summer has flown by this year! I cannot believe we go back to school in less than 2 weeks! I didn't take on too many projects this summer around the house, but I did paint the guest bathroom and the laundry room. I think they turned out pretty well. I painted the bathroom first and loved the results, so naturally, I decided I needed to paint something else...not the best idea. I thought the laundry room would be easy since it is fairly small, but it wasn't so easy with all of the shelves and cabinets. I wanted to quit. I do like the end result though. It's bright and cheery! I'd like to paint several other rooms, but I think I'll hire a pro next time.




That's all I've got for today!
