Rockstar Toes

I got the "Rockstar/Glitter Toes" done a while back and loved them! I decided that it looked easy enough for me to do so I bought all the stuff and did it all by myself! I love it! I tried them on my friend Stephanie! Here they are! She choose brown/black, if you can't tell.

A new look.

YAY! I got my oven cover and stove cover back! They turned out so great! I can't believe the difference the color makes! Heres a picture! Amazing what a little money could do for me!

CupCake/Banana Split IceCream Social

Gabe is in town and he wanted to see everyone before he left so we had an ICECREAM Social! It was so fun! It was really good to visit with everyone and catch up! Heres a few pictures of the night!

Kitchen Sink

I really want to replace our kitchen sink but it happens to be a "special ordered size sink"! There are not any cracks in the sink just a few nicks and scratches. Dust found some Tub & Tile refinisher for $30 bucks so I am going to fix the sink all up! Here are the before pictures!

Before the Oven was fixed

We are getting our oven & stove powder coated! YAY! I want to replace the whole oven but the oven works pretty good. Here are some pictures of the oven and stove while I am waiting for them to come back! PS. The best part is that it was only $35 to powder coat the oven top and it will give my kitchen a whole new look!!

Kitchen Cart

I'm staining my kitchen cart! We don't have much storage space for food in our kitchen. The pantry is in our hall closet. Its pretty inconvenient for me! Before the cart was a light yellow color and now its a dark cherry! I love it! The drawer needs to be stained over one more time. It just didn't cover like the rest of the cart did! The cart should go really well with the dark oven!
I put up some shelves in our kitchen next to the refrigerator to give me a little bit more room for things and for decoration! It looks so cute!! I love it! You can kind of see them in this picture below.

Kitchen Wall Part 2

I got some vinyl lettering for my kitchen wall. The saying is: The fondest memories are made while gathered around the table. Its a little deep but appropriate for the wall. This wall still feels like it needs something else. I'm not sure what but I guess I will figure it out when I see it!

Apples & Grapes

The theme of my kitchen is Apples & Grapes (Red&Purple). I found a cute pack of apples, grapes, cherrys, & oranges at Target and then I went to Michaels and got a bunch of long stem fruit to make a center piece for my table! It turned out pretty cute!

Chanti

I painted the "Girls Room"(the dogs area/den/future baby playroom) Red this weekend! Its actually Chanti to be exact! I love it! I've been pretty lucky with choosing colors that I like even after I paint it on the wall! Heres a few pictures! The pictures are not as good this time! I ran out of batteries for my camera so I had to use my phone!! Before, During & Afters, of course!

The Time Traveler's Wife

I just started reading "The Time Traveler's Wife" and I LOVE IT!! I can't wait for the movie to come out this Friday! I'm mostly excited for the movie because there are a few parts that I am confused on! Ahh I'm so excited!

More Flowers

I planted MORE FLOWERS!! I have really come to enjoy it! Pam & Becky came and helped me pick out the right kind of flowers. I got a flag holder so I can change the flag for all the different holidays!
I'm not going to lie, my flowers are soooo cute!! Check them out!They may look a little dead but they are going to grow into their areas!

Kitchen Blinds & Curtains

I don't even know what to say anymore but I have become CrAzY OBSESSED with the house improvements! I just can't stop! Poor Dusty! He has been so good with helping me out!
We put blinds up in the Kitchen last night. Dusty said he was sick of worrying if people could see us through the window! :)
This projects total comes down to $26.99 for blinds and $23.58 for curtain rod & curtains! I love it!

Bedroom Doors

We have these brown doors on all our bedrooms in the house and I finally replaced them! Ahh! Each door is $40 bucks so thats why it has taken me so long to do it! I have so many projects that I want to do and thats where ALL of our money has gone since! I think the doors have made a WORLD of DIFFERENCE!
And of course the before and after pictures!

Grass

We have three areas of flower beds but I only want to take care of two!

In the first flower bed I took out some green bushes and put in iceberg rose bushes and some pin cushion flowers. That area is right underneath the front room window. See the post below for pictures.
The second flower bed is directly off the porch. I'm going to be planting that this weekend.
The third flower bed is a triangle shape that connects to the grass. We decided to go ahead and ripe out the concrete that connects the flower bed and grass and let it all be grass.
Heres those pictures!

Front Porch Bench

I have been wanting to stain our front porch a darker color hoping it would give our bench a new fresh look. I finally got to it today! I stained it a dark cheery color and I love it! It turned out better than I thought it would! Its funny what a $2.79 can of stain can do for you!
