It's Finally Done!

So, you remember this pic from my last post. Well, I didn't think the blue on the wall was quite right...which equaled MORE painting. Sigh. Since I'm having Thanksgiving at my house again this year, I thought I should bite the bullet and get the painting done.


Before...


..and after.

I took it around into the kitchen this time. What do you think????

Maybe I Should Give it Another Go...

This statement seems to be my motto lately--I just can't seem to get things "just right". Take this cabinet, for example...


...it started out green and country. I thought I'd spruce it up a bit...


...better, but something isn't quite right. Oh, I'll paint the wall behind it. That will fix everything...


...still better. But, something still isn't quite right. Is it the wall color? Is it the two-toned paint?


Ahhhhh...that's much better. Although, the blue paint still isn't quite right. :)

More Sunday Pics

So, I've been wanting to get some cute single pics of the kids to hang in my newly redecorated bedroom above the bed. (I know what you're thinking--where are the pics of the bedroom??

Trust me--they're coming!) Anyway, my kids looked so cute this morning and there was some great light in the backyard--not that I really know what constitutes "great light"--but I really got some cute shots! Check out my sidebar.

The one of the three kids below just melts my heart! I love them to death!!

Halloween on Millstream

Halloween at our house this year consisted of everyone going their separate ways due to the U of U football game that night. Since we have season tickets we tried to talk Jake and Abby into going to the football game with us instead of trick-or-treating. We bribed them with a large bag of candy from Costco. It was a no brainer for Jake--candy AND a football game--but Abby wasn't so sure. At the last minute she decided to go trick-or-treating with her best friend, Lily. Sophie went to my mom's house and did a little trick-or-treating herself and then handed out candy to all the kids.


Our pretty witch.

I never thought I'd put lipstick on my boy--or that he'd wear his sister's clothes!

Our pretty little "girl"!

Our sweet little Halloween Fairy!

Abby and her friend Lily were also invited to a Zombie party. Scary, huh?

So, everyone had fun and got to do what they wanted to do. Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!

She Is Outta There!

Remember this ol' girl? The white-washed log bed that I've slept in for the last 13 years? Well, sadly to say (not really) she's now in the basement awaiting Bill's approval for sale on ksl.com. Not to mention those beaut's for nightstands have gone the way of ksl.com.

More to come on the bedroom transformation!
