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!

Herringbone Pattern

I'm still working on it! Oy vey, this wall is taking forever. It's not perfect. Taping the wall is really a 2 person job. Or at least a 1 person job with the right tools. Like a level tool. I tried my best with my measuring tape.

Bookshelf!



Our books are officially unpacked and moved onto their shelf. The kids books are on the other bookshelf, which I didn't take a picture of. After I get my desk cleaned up it'll have a home in between the two bookshelves. Yay! Ignore my nerdy little heart doing a happy dance.
