My perfect craft room

Heather February 27, 2010 1 Comments

As anyone who does any amount of crafting (of any sort) you know that you accumulate stuff quickly. It's no use to toss this stuff because it can still be used or utilized in some fashion. So what do you do with this stuff? You stash it, and what do you do when the stash starts taking over your space? I don't know about you guys, but my stash is starting to drive me crazy. I don't like that my craft room is a mess and dysfunctional....I can't work as well in there because of it. I knew that when we moved in my room wold be one of the last to get tackled and well we're coming to the end of the house list. :)

So here's what I have now.....

The return of Revenge Green

Heather February 25, 2010 0 Comments

Yesterday I told you the back story of the green in the exercise room, well today that 3rd stripe was added to the room, and I couldn't be happier. Dev was even impressed and as soon as dinner was done he wanted to show Daddy what Mommy had done :) Luckily, Daddy likes all the color this time round, and we are both quite pleased that this particular project is winding down. You see this project actually started in August....in an effort to complete the rooms before Harrison got here. There were several hiccups in the plan, but the lounge was finished on Feb. 6th. Just in time for the super bowl. :)

Nap time is fun time

Do you remember a few days ago I mentioned that I painted our first kitchen a shade of green that my husband hated? Well, I've picked another shade of bright green...he's calling it revenge green, but even with such a horrible moniker its still lovely.

We've been finshing a part of our basement that the builder did not, and the exercise room is now leaf bud green (per Valspar). I have added a set of stripes and plan on doing another stripe to finish the room off, but I wanted to share with you the progress till now.

Now you may or may not remember me mentioning that I have a 4 month old, and one of my girlfriends is always asking me where I find the time...Well the answer is NAP TIME! H (or Harrison) is not a great napper. Devlin was a wonderful napper; he would sleep for 3 to 4 hours at a stretch, but then again he was not great at night. Harrison is wonderful at night; goes down at 8 or so and doesn't get up till 7ish.
