Taylor's 'New' Bedroom...

I hate to think how many times Carolyn and I have "redone" these kids rooms, sigh...

Finally finished the headboard, and realized yet again how much I detest painting...

All setup, kind of hard to take a picture in an 11 x 11 room... :)

Taylor LOVES her "new" room, which is why Carolyn and I keep redoing them I suppose... I'm sure it wouldn't have taken two days to do it, but I ended up having to repaint the room... :( Oh well, Taylor is happy, I'm happy... :)

Taylor's New Bed...

Our neighbor gave Taylor a queen mattress set and frame, but no headboard... So I decided to make her one... :)

There is my "board" I got at Home Depot this AM...

In progress, just making it up as I go along...

There you have the finished product... Of course tomorrow I'll have to paint it and put it and the bed in Taylor's room... We'll see if I have that picture up tomorrow night... :)

Not Much...

Going on that is, well actually, there is a LOT going on, but I don't have any pictures or anything of it... ;)

Carolyn and I did go garage saling (is that even a word??) and got all of those pots for $10, love garage sales!! They really look great there by the pool, it was missing something, that was it!!

Our neighbor's son is getting married tomorrow, so we downloaded a bunch of pictures of him and his girlfriend from FB and uploaded them to Walgreen's to print, then stuck them all in frames. The idea is to put them all over the place where the reception is at... Now I think I want to do this anytime anyone gets married that we know...

We also made them this candle, someone made us one for our wedding and we loved it, so we figured they might as well... :)

Now I've got to go reclaim my garage... Hope everyone is having a good day (no matter what day you may read this... ;)

Before And After...

Yeah, I stopped working on the "sidewalk" and moved to the stairs because they were getting on my LAST nerve!! :)

If that mess isn't enough to get on anyone's LAST nerve, I'm not sure what is... :)

Finally finished around 8PM, and nearly stopped quite a few times actually, I was glad this AM that I didn't... :)

Now to get myself inside and start cooking before all the company arrives...

Let The Games Begin...

So yeah, the poll... the slate won. Now I just have to actually lay it. Wow. It's complicated, why did I have to make that walkway so curvy???? Oh well, getting started...

Laying out the slate and cutting it, I HATE doing this I might add. No one else is going to do it though, so do it I must...

Yeah, it's a chore. It will look nice though, and I think it will complement the flagstone. I'll put pics up tomorrow of the finished product.. I HOPE!

Chance, Tanner and TJ contemplating what to do... :)
