Project list for 2010

 

I am looking back thru the blog and realized we accomplished a lot!!!! Of course there are still projects to do but that is for 2011!!!!! The biggest project we did was opening up the wall from the original dining room into a small bedroom. This was really time consuming and messy!!! We love how it turned out!!!! Another mini project was adding  wood to the floor where the original wall was .That was a first for us!!!!

 

  In the basement we had a see  thru staircase so we added wood to the steps.That helped with the laundry not falling thru!!!!! It"s the little things that make me happy!!!!! We also went to Hawaii!!!!When we returned it was back to business!!!!    We installed our light and new electric in the old dining room(it had been a hole up there for a while.In July we started the painting of our house. Added shutters!!!!(we are not done painting outside)WE made awesome  bunk beds(still working on boys room) I finished painting my lockers.( a two year project!!!!) And the final big project of the year was installing the barn door track and putting up the Victorian french doors that were on the front enclosed porch for two years!!!! This one was really special to me!!!!! Also a first for us ,it was really scary and a little more complicated than we thought. It has been a great year!!!!! We are looking forward to 2011 !!!!! I know we will have a greater year next year greater than we could ever have imagined!!!! Happy New year!!!!!!!! I am linked to this party!!!top-projects-2010

Shutters are up!!!!!

The front of the house is just about complete!!!! I just need one more pair of shutters but we installed two sets already!!!!! It makes such a difference!!!!! All I need are some flowers in my flower boxers and it will be complete!!!!! I am loving my house!!!!!!

Shutters

We bought some of the shutters for the top windows!!!! They came in white and some other colors but I really wanted a cream color. When we got home I had my husband put the shutters outside the window to see if we liked the white color with the red paint.I also was thinking it would save time and money if we didn't paint them. I am kind of over painting!!!!! Well we didn't  like how it looked so off I went to buy some cream colored paint. I bought spray paint and I love how they turned out!!!! Tomorrow we will put them up and then I can really get a visual. Here are the shutters after I painted them.Also the white shutter on the  house.Tommorrow I will post more photos after we put up the shutters.
