Explanation of Old Posts: I am changing things up and putting my home projects on one blog, and having my family blog in a separate location. There are a few posts that I am just transferring over to this blog, so the projects and updates are past posts.
This past week my mom came for a visit. She had
planned on flying but then decided to drive two days to bring me my
bedroom furniture (that also happened to be hers when she was a little
girl), and also some other pieces, including my parents old living room
couch. Yeah, my mom is crazy and wonderful...
Then to top it all off my mom worked her butt off while she was here painting.
William loved it! Not only did he get to play with new things, he totally loved his Nana time.
This is a before picture of the family room, to give you an idea of how bare bones it was.
A picture of my awesome mom, hard at work painting the ceilings. She is like the energizer bunny, she just kept going.
The
new family room, all painted and decorated. I love the color, it is
still growing on Luke. He told me he came to terms a long time ago that
he would live in a rainbow house (after seeing my parents house and
seeing my room, which I painted purple in high school- what can I say,
my mom and I love color!)
Another angle of the family room with the couch my parents kindly gave
us. Also, just a funny little tid bit, that chest was made by my mom's
high school boyfriend.
The beautiful new kitchen colors.
And a look at another project we worked on... sanding and spray
painting my old bedroom furniture. I love how it turned out. I will add
another post later showing you the before and afters. This dresser had
become my new buffet table. We weren't able to paint this room... the
ceilings are way to high, and we were exhausted.
Thank you so much mom and dad for helping to make our house a home. I love you!
And next time you visit mom, no projects! ;)
This is how the desk turned out. We kept the same handles on it, and didn't do anything to the chair.
Here is how the nightstand turned out
