.. more house pictures...

I posted some pics quite some time ago.. right when we were buying the place - mostly outside pictures, but now when I was taking some pics of the bathroom renos-- I got a few inside shots.

This is our entry - with new paint job (Grassland Green)..

This is the kitchen/dining room area.. the main plan is to paint the walls Merlot and the cabinets will be white much like the bathroom ones. We are also replacing the range overhood fan and the countertop range. Eventually...

This is just looking the other way from the kitchen/dinning room area.. this is our table + our reading by the fire area..

Next is the living room, and you can see the entrance in the background..



Then the officey/workout/sewing/playing area... it's cluttered but it works.


There are certainly other areas of the house but pictures just don't do the rooms justice, they always look funny, so until I get some better shots.. this is it!!

El Bano is new - o

House reno's are so much fun (not really) but when you are on the uphill portion of the battle it is so rewarding. I really have to thank my sister for helping me get the bathroom done. She is a perfect cutter inner and so she helped with the first coat and after some drama, and no cell phone coverage, she also did the second coat. YIPES - still sorry about that sis! I am sorry that I didn't take a before photo of the bathroom cause holy crap that wall paper was UGLY.. this is the after shots.. envision it minus the clutter and seashell toilet seat, and add some baseboards -- oh and a shower curtain that I am sewing myself with fabulous fabric. The color is chocolate fondue.. very cool and the cabinets used to be hideous dark wood.

LOCAL STARS

The girls made the local newspaper yesterday...

There was a town-wide book fair at the local library. The books sold there were $1 a piece with all the proceeds going back to the library. They had a lot of fun filtering all sorts of great stories! They were the first kids to arrive and were into the kids books ASAP! It was quite cute. I can't help but love their adoration for books. The library also has a great romp/play room for kids so even Mommy had a change to paruse the other books. It really was a good time.

long time, no type

Last week I took a "Programming with Python" course in Prince George. It was very in depth and l......o.....n.......gggggg, but good. So I stayed in PG at the Treasure Cove Hotel & CASINO. It was nice. Collin had the girls back and forth with my mama and I came back Friday. Millie had been sick with the FLU the whole 5 days that I was gone, poor thing. Over the weekend we painted and did some renos, I got the Flu Monday/Tuesday but am back on track now! Hope everyone was well while I was away - I've got some catching up to do.
