Bathroom - After

We painted the entire room and added Wainscoting to one wall and added the border on top (our fist time with wallpaper. Tim found some great (Cheap) creels that go with the theme. I've been looking for some but couldn't find them for less that $30.00. he found these on clearance for $7.50 each. What a bargain shopper. Anyway I really love the way the room turned out. Much more home-y now, fits our "cabin" theme for our mountain home. Maybe we can tackle our bedroom next . . . :)

Bathroon - Before

I mentioned that we have been working on re-decorating the bathroom... this is what we started with. (I don't know why the pictures are so yellow-y). Pretty plain jane standard issue with a new house. . . . off white everything.

Sunny days are here again

Today is so sunny and beautiful. Most of the snow has melted, leaving behind mud . . . but the sky is so blue and clear with the contrasting mountains with their snow caps . . . I am a lucky gal to live here. I took a nice long walk today . . . and Loved it! Planned more of our flower gardens and sat out in the sun while Paige played. What a great day . . . I also finished two loads of launday . . . hardly even felt like work.

Monday . . .

Our weekends seem so busy and full that I look forward to Mondays. Everything gets so crazy and we all get a little lazy on the weekend, so Monday is always a good day to put things back in order. (Ideally, this would happen EVERY Monday, but unfortunately I live in the real world) Today was a good "get back in order" day. I feel balanced now. . . . at least until tomorrow :)

Ever go through you closets?

I just did! Wow, I've been meaning to do this for awhile and just never could get started. I knew it would be a big ole project, and I was right. I had suits in there from when I worked in an office. I sure don't need those anymore. I have 4 huge bags of clothes that I know I haven't worn in over 2 years. . . . Off to the Goodwill they go . . . and WOW I have some space in that closet now. Anyway I've been working on this all day and now I am just starting to put the closet back together, but that might have to wait until after dinner.

Snow in the Mountains

It's, snowing, it's snowing . . the old man is plowing . .. ha, ha. We are suppose to get 2 feet or more today. Tim HAD to go to the Springs (an hour and a half away) for meetings. The way it is coming down, I hope he can make it home. We just lost power! Fabulous. I better get off here and see if i remember anything about using a generator.

Think Spring

TodayPaige and I planted seeds for flowers that Mom sent last year. We are suppose to get a BIG snow, so hopefully that will help push the seeds down and we will get some plants. I guess we will see. I haven't had much luck growing things here in the mountains, we have such a short growing season .. . . but I keep trying. I hope to see pretty little buds coming up soon . . . of course the deer will probably eat them, but oh well. It is fun trying and Paige loves playing in the dirt. (so do I)
