Let it Snow!

Looks like we are finally going to get a bit of the white stuff this Friday into Saturday morning. I was really hoping we'd get a little snow this winter so I am really happy!

Thought I'd share a few photos of our house in progress. First is a photo of one of the end windows in my craft room, which is on the third floor attic space. You can faintly see the color I painted, which is a pale aqua mint green. It's only about a 7ft clearance and has can lights going down the center. I can't wait to get is all set up and organized.

These are the steps going up to my craft room, which will be carpeted and will have molding going up the sides. The stairs in the kitchen up to the master bedroom are directly below and they will look like this with no carpet and the top wood planks will be stained to match the flooring in the kitchen. I should get alot of exercise going up and down all the stairs!

Next is the sunroom off of the master bedroom, I painted it a light taupe color. I got a photo from each end so if you put the two together, you kind of get the picture what the room looks like, we have lots of light in there. I use the paint buckets and put boards across them, then lay 4-5 pieces of molding across and paint away, I feel like I haven't even made a dent! I only get one coat of paint on the molding with eac trip to the house as they need to cure overnight before I can put another coat of paint on. They got one piece of crown molding up, I still have a bunch to paint. I still have to paint most of the downstairs with color, which I'll get done in the next few weeks. (With the exception of the kitchen and dining area, I'll do those after we move in.)


And one last photo of our little dining area off of the kitchen, it's about a 10 x 10room, you can't see all of it in the photo as I cut part of it off. We are planning on adding a larger dining room and living room in the next few years and this will be turned into an entry way into the new living area but for now, it will be used for a small dining area. We will take the double window on the left (the partial window I cut off) out and that will be the entry way into the new area. You can barely see the wellhouse outside the window, which only has the foundation right now but will eventually get a roof with some small storage space. See all the molding on the floor and wall, more painting for me! I used to love to paint but I am slowly changing my mind on that! Oh and you can just see the bottom of the stairs on the left that go up to the master bedroom. They are only the temporary stairs as we have to paint the stairwell first before they can put the permanent stairs down.

Just a few crafty things, first is a card set with tags that I made using K & Company Blue Awning 3D stickers with Anna Griffin papers. I punched the butterflys with a velvet paper and added some adhesive pearls.


And one last card I made using a wood laser cut-out I got from Michaels. I painted it with a tiny paintbrush, then coated the entire cut-out with crystal fine glitter and added some rhinestones and adhesive pearls to the flowers. I cut a pink piece of paper and put it behind the lavender chipboard flower, then added some little clear beads to the center. The eyelet lace trim is from our local antique store, which is a huge two story building with lots and lots of wonderful findings! I have a favorite booth, which is filled to the brim with lace and trim, table cloths, doilies and all kinds of vintage goodies, I could spend all day in there!


I'll be back early next week, hopefully with photos of snow!

Thanks for stopping by!
