Adam hung the shelf I painted for Megan's room on Saturday. I framed one of my favorite pictures of her and have more in the works...I'm still waiting for pictures to get printed. I'm also going to be making her an accordion album (4x4) that I am excited about displaying. I love them and although I have made a few for others I have yet to make one for myself. Hopefully by next week it will be finished.
I finally found red drapes for a great price for our sliding doors in the kitchen & living room. I had been toying with making some, but when I found these at $12 each I had to get them. I would not be able to make anything for that price. Perhaps one day I will find fabric I love and make drapes, but for now I am just glad we have complete privacy at night.034%20ed1.5.jpg)
I also finally recovered our dining room chairs. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. They look so much better and are much softer. I added new padding so they are so desirable. I must say it took way more time than I thought it would plus a smashed finger, but I'm glad I took on the project. It makes the room that much nicer.
so there is just a few of the things I have been up to for the last couple of weeks. I really want a project a week...Even if it's cleaning our a drawer or closet. Something to make me feel like I'm making constant improvements.what are you working on this week?

I love seeing pictures of the projects you're working on at home. I love doing projects and seeing our place evolve as we add things here and there. Your curtains and chair covers look great, and Megan's shelf does too. I can't wait to see the accordian book you make for it.
Your projects turned out wonderfully. WTG!! :)

all those look so cool...the chairs...it is amazing what a little fabric does...well we are still inundated with wrapping up some of the big changes we have been working on so I will post as soon as we do...it is a long process sometimes!
sorry, i wrote like two words and then all of the sudden it had posted twice!!! so the two deleted comments above are/were mine... anyways like i was saying, i agree with jill... i love to see the updates of your decorating, everything looks great and i cant wait to see the accordian book you're making, very cute idea!
great curtains! What a deal! I found some possibilities the other day at Lowe's for 29$- not 12$! The red chairs look so beautiful- I would love to see your house when you're done.
Please please keep posting photos of your house. I love seeing it. You guys always have excellent style.
I need to be inspired by you and do more with my place. I have been so busy but it HAS been 8 months! What a great deal on the curtains. WOW.
Ugh! It takes so long to actually get settled into a house, does't it!? My sister and I were talking the other day about how our parents would start a house project and not stop until it was done (usually the same day). We were talking about this because Jeremy and I are redecorating our powder room and in two weeks time all he managed to get done was mounting the new light fixture. That never would have happened when I was growing up! But, I think we're more typical than I like to admit. Congratualtions on getting more accomplished. Your house looks great!
Ames, I'm so impressed. I love it that you recovered chairs and put up red curtains. I just did red ones in our bedroom and don't think you've seem them yet. Where did you find that great deal?
What a steal of a deal! Love the red curtains and the chairs. The photos of your house always look like them came from a magazine or a catalog. Beautiful.
All I worked on this week was my page for Jill's birthday book and assembling my bike trailer. I seem to have a hard time just staying on top of the laundry, piano lessons, kids' homework, dinner, etc. sigh.
