Guess What?

Someone at our house had a special day!
There were balloons.... 
  
 ...and even some Carrot Cake!
Yup!  Lauren is 15!
Make a wish!

She's a real sweetheart and a real pleasure to have in our family.  We love her soo much!  I just don't know if we're ready for her to grow up and start driving!

More painting....

I still had quite a bit of paint left over from our table and chairs...I had an idea...and the whole month of May...


Here's a close picture so you can see I distressed the edges just a bit, sort of fun.  And below is a picture with the wood floor--I really like how they look together.



Here's the new guest bathroom--or in Lindsay's terms, "Grandpa and Grandma's Bathroom."  She says this because she used to use this bathroom when she was potty training, but now that she's trained I like to keep one bathroom clean for our company.  Since she didn't understand when I told her it was the guest bathroom, I simplified and said it's just for Grandpa and Grandma when they come over.  Now our poor guests wonder why they have to use "Grandpa and Grandma's Bathroom."  It's especially perplexing to her little friends!


The laundry room feels more like a room and less like a pass through/forgotten part of the house!  
I did this room first and once it was done, I knew I would do my bathrooms as well.  I just love it!


Here's our master bathroom--a lot of stuff to paint!  So naturally, I saved it for last.  I am soooo happy with the way it turned out!  Yippeee!  I also painted the kids bathroom upstairs, but it looks pretty much like the other rooms, so I spared you.  Our cabinets were natural wood before, but the finish was wearing off and we were ready for a little make-over. It's fun to change things up a bit--makes the journey more fun!
