Long Weekend= Lots of Projects

This weekend we decided to stay home and start some new projects around the house. We started the laundry room over New Years- This is how it started..

When Clay Moved In..

My Dad and Brother built these shelves

I painted the doors

Almost done

Clay is in the laundry room now hanging the doors. We painted the wall a green color that was left over from Clay's office. My brother and Clay also put in carpet tiles, which makes the room complete.

 The next project we worked on was the dining room. We have been waiting to paint it until we had the time. Well this weekend was the perfect time. We took down the fan after Clay moved in.

 The material for the curtains 

 This week I plan on sewing the curtains. They will just be simple curtains. We are also going to re-finish the furniture and buy a new light fixture.


 Another project I worked on this weekend is a mirror for the foyer. Mom and I were shopping for one the other week and they averaged $40 for the size I wanted. Then mom went to Goodwill and found this beauty..

 

The mirror

Only $5.05

 

1st I painted it red

all done

We painted it black after we painted it red. The table in the foyer is black when a hint of red in some areas. After we finish painting the foyer we will hang it up!

Overall it was a great weekend! We worked really hard but got a lot done around the house. I am so sore from all the prepping/painting but it was worth it. I am thankful that Clay enjoys fixing the house because it is something fun we can do together.

Another step almost completed to making this house our home.
