DIY

Over the past month or so we have been trying to get back into working on things around the house.  We have been inspired by blogs and of course, pinterest.  Well Paul hasn't been inspired but he just goes along for the ride.  :)

We painted the back of our fireplace shelves an olive green.  The same color as the one going up the stair hallway.




We repainted our kitchen hardware.

Updated our old brass light fixture with a coat of spray paint.



Made a decorative grocery list board with an old picture frame and some fabric.


And lastly, painted OUR bedroom.  It was basically the only room that we hadn't done much of anything to.  We Painted it a nice taupe color and plan to make a fabric headboard and add some more decorations.  Paul and Tobin have already agreed to help cut the wood for me!

Above is a sample of the fabric I plan to use for the headboard.

Painted the built-ins which took an annoyingly long amount of time.
