What we're up to

We are still here! And still plugging away at projects around the house. The holidays were very busy so I have gotten a little behind on posting.

Here is a quick look at SOME of the projects we are currently working on.

1. Curtains.
This is a curtain that I made for above the sink. I'm so glad this fabric didn't work out for my cousin because I think the yellow adds a pop of color to this room. I am currently sewing a curtain for the half bath and plan to alter a panel we purchased for the living room.

2. Cleaning the basement. No pictures of this yet. But it has been quite the project. We vacuumed the entire basement, rearranged everything, and Jason hung wood on one wall for a dart board. It is still a work in progress.

3. Gallery wall. I have been saving a large wall in the living room so I could create a gallery wall and we have started it! It is not a "true" gallery wall but more like staggered floating shelves with a lot of pictures on them.

This is our rough template for where the shelves will go. No they are not anywhere close to exact or level but we wanted to get a general idea so we could figure out how much wood we needed. One thing we have learned so far: the outside walls in this house are impossible to find studs in! More on that later.

Happy New Year and I hope to be caught up with posting soon!
