Week 48: Celebrate!

I didn't really think that I'd have much worth celebrating.  My life just isn't that exciting.

However.  When I sat down and thought about it..... and started digging deep..... shocking (or not!) I found a celebration right in front of my face!  It wasn't in existence even a month ago, but now, as I sit here and type this, it is definitely worth celebrating!

Every summer my goal has been to work on my house.  To finish the kitchen.  To redo the bedroom.  To decorate.  To do something to make my house a home.  Well my friends, this summer, not only did I set the same goal, but I'm in process of actually accomplishing it!

Project one was simple, to make my mirror look a little nicer.  $25 later and two hours later, project one was complete, and made such a difference in the bathroom!  I still hate looking in the mirror, but now I can't help but look at the mirror!





Project two involved a not-so little box that has been sitting in the corner of my dining room for over four years.  I am proud to say it is no longer sitting in the dining room.  As a matter of fact, the box is no where to be seen anymore.  Instead, my kitchen is a bit happier!

  2. I love it! I really like the color in your kitchen ~ the vinyl art is so cute and I love the sentiment you chose. I have the same kind of scalloped wood valance over my kitchen sink ~ I think it's so charming :) I recently did some glass tile too and what a great idea to frame your mirror ~ very creative :) Judi

  3. Okay, how did you do the mirror? Cause I need to do that. An I love the quote! My whole house is one big scrapbook, pictures and quotes everywhere. Every once in a while I take them all down and start again. My hubby just rolls his eyes and waits to see what ends up on the wall next! :)
