Some more Home Projects

Having the second look progressive meal at our house was a great motivation to get a few projects completed. We, mostly I, decided that before everyone came it would be nice to finish putting up the crown molding in the dining room, do the finish work on all the crown that we had put up in the house (this included mudding, sanding, and painting the joints in 4 rooms) make the valance for the living room curtains, sew and hang the curtains for the living room and dining room and recover the pillow for my Queen Anne chair to match the curtains.

So some of this was done very last minute but I am happy to say we completed it all. Jacob actually designed, fabricated, and upolstered the valance in the livinig room. I am very impressed with his work and it is nice to know if the whole doctor thing doesn't pan out we always have something else to fall back on. Thanks to Tracy for lending me her sewing machine when mine decided to be stubborn and send me into crying fits. (no this isn't an exagarration, there were many tears shed.)

So without further ado, here are some of the pictures. Sorry they are horrible quaility, I am no photographer. I also added a picture of the boys room with the bunkbed in it. We got the loft bed for a steal and a few coats of black spray paint and it looked brand new. The boys love it.

This close-up gives you a better look at the crown and the colors of the curtains. Just in case you happen to be my mom and care about those things.
