sorry guys!

In the last post I told you guys that the orange wall was going to have a saying on it, but did not tell you what it was going to read:

The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
-Moliere

I thought it was a cool saying.

some new things

Here are a few things that I have done lately. The orange wall is NOT finished yet, I still have to write a saying down the middle. It was just so tedeous drawing and painting the birch branches I thought I would give myself a break from it all for a while! I really didn't do much in the living room except put the clock and plants up on the mantel. I can't wait for the spring weather to hit! I just ordered a bunch of plants, screen hedges, and trees from http://4seasonsnursery.com/ so I am anxious to get them and put them all in! I want to get the back yard up to par before the swimming season hits. Well I have to go hit the sack! see ya'll later. oh yah, that is how matt plays games now.....always have to have at least ONE animal with you at all times around here!

Penn Foster

I am taking an interior decorating course from Penn Foster career school! I thought it was about time I do something official with my pasion for decorating! I am also looking into the National Association of professional Organizers to do some organizing on the side. I am so excited, especially the fact that is was so affordable to do!
Just thought you all would want to know what has been up here with me.

Answering some questions

Hey there Bonnie And khrista,
Just wanted to answer the questions/ comments you left

Thanks for thinking I have skills, I really just did it the easiest way possible with the least amount of cutting :-)

And yes I did reuse the cabinets from the kitchen in there!

I guess if you guys really want I could put a little thing on here on how to make it and a list of tools/items needed. Just let me know if you were serious :-)

Thanks alot for looking!

new stuff

I built the kids a new art/ homework area. It is not finished yet, I have to stain and polyurethane the desk, and we are going to IKEA this Thursday, so I am going to get some accesories for the center, I also still need to paint the room a solid color. the kids All love it

This is my office area/ game room....the games got to be too loud to keep in the living room so I moved them in here.

This is my new clock that i got at the thrift store the other day it was still in the box. I went to target and saw this same clock it was $50.00 I paid $3.25!!!
