Chair

My project for the day was to re-upholster a chair that we kept from Barry's Grandma's stuff. It was this pink color and that just doesn't go with anything in our house AND since we have boys, it just wasn't the right color for them. So I changed it from the pink to a green. Of course it took me three times longer to do it that I planned because I could not find the staple gun to use to attach the material to the chair, and once again I forgot to take a before picture, but I did save the old pink material and took a picture of it off the chair. So here are the "before" and after pictures.

Cats!

If I haven't said it before, my cats are a tab bit mischievous. Below you will find a picture of one of them playing hide-n-seek with the other one. This one is hiding - and what a FANTASTIC place to hide!!



Yes, that is my bed the cat is under the blanket. He did it without messing up the rest of the blanket so it was just a lump when you walked in. Crazy cat!!

Easter Pictures

When I was downloading the stair pictures from my camera, I discovered that I still had the Easter pictures on my camera. We spent it at Barry's mom's house so all the pictures are from her yard. The boys had an easter egg hunt and Michael played with his new kite while Nathan went into the river. I did not get a picture of Nate after he had been in the river, but I have Michael playing with his kite and the egg hunt.


The Egg Hunt

Pictures

Here are the pictures that I promised of my staircase. It looks so good compared to the pictures the camera just didn't do it justice. Anyway, my 2 curious kitties are at the top of the stairs in the first one, I was almost done with the stairs, I just needed to caulk under the lip. In the second picture I have finished completely.

Grades and more Renevations

I got my grades back this morning - I got all A's. So to celebrate I decided to paint the back of my stairs and the runners going down the sides of them. They are now (semi-finished) white. I have to wait for them to dry to put another coat of paint on, but when all is finished, they will be white and then I have to paint the walls around the stairs yellow - but that is a different day. I will post pictures when I have the stairs done, and then again when I get the walls painted. It is slow going, but it is getting done. I have made a list of everything that I want done this summer and I am slowly working on it. Of course I started with the easy stuff and will work my way to the hard stuff later.
