House Projects

We thought, when we moved back to the great state of MN, that we were coming back to a house that needed nothing done. We should know better by now! We always have to do at least a few drawn-out projects, the annoyance and pain that we cause ourselves somehow makes us feel at home!

Eli taking a few whacks at the wall- Ethan's hands over his ears say it all! We took out the wall in between two small bedroom to make one giant boys bedroom.

Our neighbor Dan. He did most of the work. He also changed clothes a few times in front of us. We're tight now.

All done, and so nice! Curt Sr. so generously laid the carpet, it's called super soft and it is perfect for wrestling and playing.

Finally here is the before and after of my green mud room. There was a closet that Dan also took out. Jill says that it's a new green and we're going to see more and more of it. I think she's really saying that I'm a trend setter which is true:)






I painted the week that Curtis was in China, which was crazy, but good in a way because it gave me a project to work on that I could actually see progress (unlike dishes, laundry, and naughty boys). Hopefully Curtis is satisfied now, although he told me this week that the wallpaper borders and vertical blinds have to go SOON, and he REALLY wants to paint JK's room a soft pink color that he saw over at the Lapicola's house, it would go so well with her bedding he said ;)
