A Little Room Update!

 I continue to have some blogging issues, so my posts are looking a little strange!  "Some" of my children were declaring they couldn't tell what my wall color is, so I purposely wanted a picture showing the white/green!

 Almost done with the painting.


 Richard removing the old laminate.  We were surprised how it came out in large pieces without breaking apart.  It still looked like new!

 And now a trip down memory lane.....this is the old flooring underneath the 15 year old laminate!  Guess which child remembered what the old flooring looked like without any prompting.  Yes - it's Rebecca.  We are always amazed at her memory of details!

 We really like our new flooring and we were pleased with the work that was done!



 Looking in the "mud room."  I think I'll rename this the "coat room."  

 Richard got the closet doors hung in the "coat room."  There is a reason pre-hung door are higher priced than "do-it-yourself" doors.  This represents about five hours of work.

 So excited for these shelves and bench in the "coat room."  Looking for baskets or bins to put in some of the shelves.

 Now for the wall art!

I officially had run out of room on the fireplace mantle for my grandchildren pictures so this will be a perfect place.  Rebecca gave me the idea for the display; I bought the wall vinyl; and Lisa put it up for me!

When I wasn't painting, this was what I worked on, Elliot's quilt.  Mother always talked about doing nine patch quilts, so this is what I did this time.
