Dining table

These are horrible pictures I took really quickly with my phone. Here's our table! It's not done yet. Need to finish the top, but it's a heck of a lot nicer than the folding table we'd been using!

Goals for the entry hallway

1. Frame some of our family photos
2. Love this light fixtures from Shades of Light!
3. Dream hardwood floors that we'll put throughtout house
4. Wall color ideas. Use the bottom in molding, middle for above.

While we were gone...

Eric surprised me with a new sink! I was so tired when we got home that I actually didn't even notice it until he stood right next to it and tapped it. Yeeeeah. Awkward.

But look! This sink is deep enough to actually put dishes in!

Curb Appeal

We haven't even found a new front door and I'm already wondering what we can do to it to add some curb appeal. The front of our house is so sad and dejected looking. I'm having a hard time deciding on a front door color that will compliment the existing brick and shutters, so I may just do a stain-like technique. Isn't this front door beautiful?

 

Look how fun this house number sign is!

Desk Update

I just need to finish the desk legs and then we can move the desk into the house! YAY!

 



 

Desk Progress:

Being stripped

 

After first coat of stain:

 

After second coat of stain. It still needs a coat (or two) of polyurethane on top. Next up is stripping the sides of the desk. Once the body is finished we're going to move it into the house. Then I'll worry about the drawers! It'll just be nice to have it in the house.

Herringbone Wall Finished!

Can we just take a step back and look at it? It's not perfect. But I love it! I naively thought it would be a weekend project. Silly me. But I still think it was all worth it. And Grant said he likes it!
