From drab to fab ... (Lauren's room)

The way it was - in blue.

We painted it brown ...

We had new windows put in ... (amazing day by the way).

We added a quote to the wall...

We love it!

It's fun (and good) to look back and see all the hard work :) ...

Hallway idea ...

I like this hallway and it has inspired some ideas for the hallway upstairs in this old/new house of ours ... Once the kids get back into school and on a normal routine, I will get back to the house projects! (fingers crossed).

Christmas in August ...

I like this wreath - Note to self {check back here for inspiration in December} ...

Ideas from a white kitchen ...

I bumped into this photo today and thought ... WOW! That's a lovely kitchen. :)
My favorite part - the three lights hanging above the island and the floral fabric on the back of the chairs. {Ideas} ...

Berry Cheesecake ...

Thanks to our neighbor who brought us this very yummy cheesecake .... YUM!! :)

The driveway ---

Our latest project - The Driveway. We rented a jackhammer last week and broke up the old, existing driveway. THAT was a wild time! Special thanks to the entire neighborhood for hanging in with all the noise and flying rock. :)

Up next: New concrete all the way back to the backyard fence.

Good times! We are making progress... the slow and steady kind (like a turtle).
