Finally got a second to put this up! I finally tackled lighting. My very best friend helped me put this up. How did he possibly know where the ground wire connects and all the wiring? I was just a helper and held that heavy piece for like 10 minutes. I guess that's why I work out, but my arms were killin me! I had been looking for awhile for a chandelier and never found anything that was a little bit more modern. All the others were very traditional and kind of boring for my taste. I saw this one, it spoke to me, and bam! I got it. I think my style is more random. The more I think about a piece the more I hate it. But if I just go with my gut, I feel like I do a pretty good job.
I think my next hobby is woodworking. I found a blog that has plans for tables, benches, beds, you name it. I just need some power tools and courage! Think about it, furniture is waaay overpriced, why not just make it yourself! I will start slow with a small table and see if I like it and then go from there. To be honest it probably wont happen but I am a big dreamer!
Here it is! I changed the blue disgusting vinyl for some updated slate-lookalike self-stick tiles. So easy! Spacers really helped keep the lines going, and I used a pre-mixed vinyl tile grout so I grouted over the course of a week. For my first DIY project I'm pretty happy! I will probably paint the kitchen cabinets next with the same color as the living room. Just so happened the color works out fabulous and I already have a ton of it leftover! I like a bargain :)
Okay, well not my first snow. It snowed over Christmas, but I wasn't around. I love how this cute house looks with all the snow :) Hopefully work is cancelled tomorrow so I can work on cleaning up the house for my parents to come. I will try to not put them through too much with my daddy-do-list!
