House Projects

Now that tax season is over and spring is here, we have been busy working on our house and our yard.  I can see how the novelty of mowing the grass and pruning the trees might wear off in a couple of years (or months for that matter), but for now it's quite the fun time!  Here's a little look at some of our current house projects...

Before...yellow

During...antique white 
We just used the leftover paint from the previous owners so that all of the walls in the living area would be the same colour (yes, I still spell like a Canadian, because that's what I am).

Half way there...Next week we're getting the tile surround done, as well as a mantle, TV cabinet and bookshelves to go above.



Okay, so I was mostly just posing for this picture.  Bryon had to come and finish cutting the branch for me since I wasn't strong enough :)

Pruning our apple tree.  I can already taste all of the pies, muffins and sauce this is going to make!

Such a great house! Looks like fun projects too. Your chairs look similar to ours, you'll have to teach me how you re-upholstered them...so creative! Can't believe Kai is six months. Is that a picture of him sitting up on his own? So amazing how much he has grown! Let me know if you guys would be interested in skyping sometime soon.
