Sneak Peak

Here's just a sneak peak at a few projects that are in the works... yes, that's right. We have STARTED a few projects and hope to finish them all one day.  Projects are slow moving around here, but they will eventually get done.  Update on the stairs you ask?? Well there's not much to say on that one.  There's been a long "decision-making process" involved with this project, but it's slowly moving along.  I trust Matt with any project though, since I know he takes pride in all his work.  He doesn't like to do anything unless it is done right.  And even though he's not even sure where to go from here... I know he'll figure it out.  And I just try and not to bug him about it, but I'm excited for it to get done!

(I hate how the warm lighting in our home makes the pictures yellow)

Here's a little rendition he did on the computer. The railings will be a dark wood though..

I have been wanting to make a memo board for a long time now.  You know, the ones with the ribbon overlaying the fabric so you can stick notes and pictures in it? Well I came home with all the materials and Matt wanted to help out. *Side note: Matt and I do not work well on projects together (including cooking).  We learned this very early on in our marriage.  He is a perfectionist while I just eye things and get it done.  So we just try and stay out of eachothers way in order to not drive the other insane.
 
So he ended up doing the project for me and I didn't mind one bit!  Figured it would probably look better with all his proper angles and spacing. I got a headband out of the extra material so I was happy.   I'll have to post the finished product later- I need to do a few more things before I hang it up.

When our tax money came, we started coming up with a list of projects we want to do.  We got the idea of a backsplash in our kitchen and headed to Home Depot for supplies.  It should be done by the end of the week (Matt promised) and it's looking really good!




Another thing I'm working on is a gallery wall for our dining room.  Pictures of that are to come!

The kitchen looks great, Stacie! And I'm sure you're stairs will as well. One of these days I'll make a trip down to Vegas and see your place (and you!) in person. Have a wonderful weekend!
