More pictures....

I'm such a blogging bum....I love stalking other blogs, but I can't get motivated to post on my own!  L-O-S-E-R.  Okay...all that aside...there has been a LOT going on lately with the house.  I have bought some fun things...fabric included....finalized cabinets....possibly finalized granite (I'm still waivering a bit)...been to talk to a seamstress (whom I loved) about making pillows and some bed stuff....and more.  Here are some fun pictures...

yesterday's view from the guest bedroom:)

The beginnings of a fireplace!! 
I'm standing in the kitchen here and looking into the den!

 On this next one...prepare yourself.  Because I am on a tight budget...and because I am painting the brick...we got remnant brick that doesn't match!  Take a look...pretty fancy, huh?!?!?  See those fancy dark red bricks mixed in with the light pink ones??  The second picture should give you a better look. 

Now isn't that just a FUN look??  I kid...I hope they paint it VERY SOON! 

The weather last weekend was great...it has me longing for spring and a yard to dig in!  I did have a productive weekend...thanks to my niece and nephew!  Here's a few pictures from last weekend....Grace helped me oil my teak table (a craigslist find), and Clay started sanding a headboard for one of my twin beds.
AND...we painted a frame..the picture inside is one of my favorites!  It's my mom when she was the homecoming queen.  Wasn't she lovely??  (And she still is, btw)

Freshly oiled teak chairs! 

I asked Clay to "rough it up" to get it ready for painting...
he got it down to the bare wood!!

This is my mom when she was in high school....gotta find
a special place for this in the house!

Hope you guys have a great rest of the week....I'll be back sooner than later!
