I know I haven't posted house pictures, and I know some of you are waiting... Here's why... nothing is done and ready, so you just have to hang tight. I FINALLY feel like I have a mental plan of how I want to do the main areas on the first floor and I did some serious shopping this weekend and think we'll be making progress soon!
Here's a peek at a message center I'm working on (by that I mean, I'm planning out and Eric's doing all the work- he's awesome!) I have a dry erase calendar for
Kenzie and one for
Kade and Kira to share (I need to keep all the school stuff straight) and I wanted to hang them in the entryway from the garage... I looked and looked for a cool message area with a frame, but they were all too small... So, we're making one on our own and I'm excited about it...
We picked up moulding and cut it to size... I wanted it to be 4ft by about 2 1/2 feet.

Yes, Eric is working on one of my many projects at 11:05pm... I appreciate him so much!

nice
handywork!

Since taking these pictures about 20
mins ago (with my phone
btw... sorry for the quality) we painted the moulding black. I'm going to put thin cork inside and then a fabulous fabric to cover the cork. The cork will make it so that the wall doesn't get destroyed when we stick things up. I'll keep you updated as I finish this project... hopefully tomorrow after church :)
We also bought a new end table and a console table. This lamp needs a better shade (it's too yellowish) but I love the end table. Did I ever mention I LOVE small kid's furniture?? Cal loves his recliner :)

This is the stencil I ordered for the foyer... It's going to be charcoal and white... I'm pretty excited about the foyer... Weird I know, but since I have it all planned out in my head it's what I'm excited to be working on!

Lastly, I ordered this wall pattern for the breakfast room. I ordered it in dark brown and dark grey... the walls are a silvery/
greyish light blue. I'm excited to get them in the mail! I ordered them from uppercase living and I love some of the stuff in their new catalog

That's all for now! I have oodles of projects up my sleeve and I'll try to keep posting little peeks! :)
