Treasures on the back porch ...
This house has a great covered porch in the back and as you can see it's being filled up with future projects! I like knowing that everything still has a purpose :) ...See all those old windows? I just couldn't toss 'em out! Thanks to the crew today for gathering them up and saving them for me!
A moment of thanks!
Front room - side windows
Dining room
The BIG front window! I was a little worried about how the grids would look on a window this size but I LOVE it!Moment from today: I stopped by to check out the windows and told one of the construction workers thanks for making the house look so beautiful and he looked and me and said:
"Thanks for the work" ...
I've been thinking about what he said all day. His comment really touched me. Amazing how a word of thanks can go so far! Note to self: Slow down and show more gratitude to everyone everywhere! :)

A touch of black ...
I found 4 of these chairs at an estate sale ... I can hardly wait to fix them up and use them in the dining room! :)
A 71 watt bulb ...
Kaleb changing the lightbulb in the kitchen ... Ahhhh what a difference ONE bulb makes! :)
Thursday night in the kitchen ...!
Check this out! Cabinets ready for new paint and hardware.
The doors ... the drawers ... the work involved! :)
WOW! This is only the bottom half of the shelves... I am so thankful Kaleb could join me in the kitchen tonight for some fun! I love spending time with him - he is so funny and interesting.
I took a moment and did a little shabby chic on this one door ... I may end up doing a little 'shabby magic' on all of them?!
The hardware.
Kaleb ... telling me about "The Diary of a Whimpy Kid" books ... funny!
Wendy ... I am officially a full-time construction worker these days! :)

Groovy Baby ...!
These glasses are ultra cool ... They go perfect with the tunes from the 60's and 70's ...! :)
The day after ...
A shot of our new, light color in the front room... I still like it today.That's a good thing! :)
It's very light but will work perfect for my overall vision for the place.
I need an 8 foot giant ...
This is the window at the top of the hallway and as you can see, it is very high. I left the top section of plastic and tape for the 8 foot giant that will hopefully stop by tomorrow! :)
This is one of the doors in the upstairs hallway. We covered them with tape and plastic so we could texture and paint last weekend. Pulling it off was a mess - all the texture flying off made it feel like it was snowing!I spent about 3 hours cleaning today ... It was crazy from last weekend's work adventure. It looks and feels much better. Tomorrow I can focus on paint and primer in the dining room.
