Its a House Project.

So...We recently did a lot of work on our home
Getting it to where we can be satisfied for a while.
There's definitely some more things we want to get done.
I'd like to paint eventually...Get some plants, lamps, and more shelving up throughout the house.
For now...We're wanting to relax for a while.
Enjoy our home...And save up some money.
Our next project...Fencing the backyard.
Yikes!
Anyways, here's some things we've been up to:
The Family Room.We did some touch up patching and painting of the walls, then we hung up some wall art.
I love it. Its a calming room.
~~~
My Kitchen.What is my favorite part about this room?
My cabinets and my Tin Man, of course.
~~~
Our kitchen dining area.I made the centerpiece from random clearance items I found at Walmart.
Blake picked out the key hanger and flower metal art. I think it looks great on that wall.
~~~
Our entryway.I love my little African statues. Enough said about that.
~~~
Blake's Den.Blake took those pictures of Chicago on our vacation last year.
They turned out so neat. I was so excited to finally get them framed.
We also did some patching and painting of this room as well.
The paint is actually a glaze, which is kind of fun (and frustrating) texturizing the walls with.
Blake also got his TV mounted. It was a pretty amazing project.
He mounted it within a door frame.
Blake drilled from inside the door frame up into the dead space underneath the stairs.
That way the entire door frame is the anchor for this TV.
That TV isn't going anywhere. Good job, babe.
Indiana's playroom underneath the TV is pretty dang cool too.
Its has lights and everything.
She loves it.
~~~
Blake's Den Bathroom.I bought a wreath and some old picture frames from the D.I.
Mounted them on the wall as is...Nothing more, nothing less.
I'm good with it.
Simple. Just how Blake wanted.
~~~
The upper stairway.
We did some patching and painting here as well.On one of the walls, the people before us took crayon and created a horrific Dora the Explorer map. Don't ask me why...It's just that weird.
Anyways...I found this amazing sketch to put there.We painted...And painted...And hung up this amazing piece.
It looks great. I only wish I could sketch like that.
~~~
Anyways...That's where we're at right now.
Hopefully we'll have the fence up soon.
I want to be able to let Indiana outside without using that annoying leash of hers.
We'll keep you posted.
-Blake and Jess.
