The original blueprint for our condo.  It’s fun to think back to when it was just a big dream.  It’s been our full-time home for almost two years already ~ how time flies!

8-22 New kitchen color

More color for the kitchen.  We decided that there was just too much white in there, so we added more peach on the walls.

8-15 New valance

We’re still on a mission to get rid of as much white as possible at home.  The valance on the blinds was ~ any guesses? ~ white to match the blinds.  I changed the valance fabric to match the plaid fabric on the barstools I showed you yesterday.  More color ~ YAY!

8-14 Old cushion

We decided to recover/paint the barstools in our kitchen.  The old view is shown above.  Below is the new look ~ I like it!

8-7 Handstands

Granddaughters Monica and Celia were learning how to do handstands in the pool ~ I’m not sure which was which, but they both looked pretty good!

8-6 We have company

You can always tell when we have company ~ the shoes seem to multiply.  I love it when the kids come to visit!

8-3 shell wreath done

I picked up a new hot glue gun (finally) and was finally able to finish replacing the shell that had fallen off of this heart-shaped wreath.  It now has a home tucked into my new photo wall.

8-2 Shell bowl

I’ve been collecting these shells for a while and this bowl is pretty full ~ I guess I really should use them on a few more projects.  Have to finish that wreath first ….

8-1 Shell wreath

I made this heart-shaped shell wreath a long time ago, but through the years the shells have been falling off and it’s looking pretty sad right now.  So I went to the store today to buy a new glue gun and glue sticks, grabbed my bowl of shells and I’m ready to make it pretty again ~ I think it will look good on my photo wall.

7-31 Picture wall

I’ve always wanted to do a photo wall and just never got around to it.  This is the beginning of that project ~ just a few frames to start out with, but hopefully I can add to it as I go along.
