Super Saturday!

Lately all of our Saturdays have been about home work and projects. This weekend was super busy. I reupholstered my kitchen chairs, made a table runner for my dining table, and hemmed curtains. Brett did his usual and some more. He did yard work, put up paintings and mirrors, and installed a new light fixture on our dinning room.

We have had these chairs for about 4 years, there was nothing wrong with them other than that the fabric was stained from daily use. Chair project before:

and after:
Now they match my black and white kitchen :)
Table runner, curtains & new beautiful light fixture. As you can see we still need a lot of decor for our walls, all in time. I have to thank Bobby George for the amazing painting.

Also, I got an orchid plant. I have never taken care of flowers or plants before, so I am really excited to see it bloom (if I manage keep it alive).

Home Update

It's been about 3 weeks since I got back from Peru and 2 months since we moved in our house. My surgery was a success and I have recovered completely. I made a big career change. I left Sears and now work for AllState. I am loving my new job! I do miss my awesome and amazing coworkers :( But I am lot happier and more relax now. I am loving life.
We have been spending a lot of time working on our home. We have a long list of small and big projects for the house. I am so glad I married a handy guy that knows how to do things around the house. Our most recent project was to add a half bath to the main level. When the house was built, they left the little room ready, but didn't put in the bathroom. So we chose the fixtures and Brett added the pipes, drains, water lines, installed a fan and light fixtures all by HIMSELF! It turned out super cute! Our current project is to put our decorations up in the walls. We have realized that we will be needing a lot more than what we currently have.
