Hello....Again!

Well...now that we have finally settled into our new home...I thought that I would continue to post...a lot of the decision was because of a new craft friend whose blog that I enjoy very much. She has wonderful ideas!

This was the dining room.....now, it looks like this....(mess and all!) I still haven't finished painting yet...all of the paneling will be GONE! Paneling is nice...but cheap paneling and ALWAYS having paneling has gotten quite old!

Our three girls FINALLY have their own rooms -- painted as they wanted. They still need curtains and rugs and canopies...but, at least they are not sleeping on the floor and they have the paint color and designs they have dreamed of! This photo is of D3's jungle room. Still have to add monkies from the ceiling and a few various things...















Remember the kitchen? Well, it now has more of a Naples, Itlay theme. The cupboards were painted white and the walls are burgundy and cornflower yellow.

The shelves in the breakfast room will not be there, but until hubby completely re-does the mud/laundry/cloak room and build a pantry....it will have to stay - or at least something will! Eventually, we would like to redo the whole entire kitchen---but that won't happen for quite a few years!!

There are many gifts to create for teachers, etc... and I think that looking at other blogs, going to craft groups is a BIG help! I love being able to share ideas! Plus, I feel kind of guilty just lurking around and getting great ideas and not showing what I have been up to! I will have more pics of things that I have done -- re-created, etc.
