Can we build it? Yes, we can!

We had quite the building weekend. First we built the bookshelves, not from scratch, we aren't THAT good. We bought them from IKEA. We finally have one here is Salt Lake and now I know what my sister-in-law, Lara, means when she raves about it. I love it, too. You'd think for someone who loves to read as much as I do, that I would have put up shelves sooner. I mean, these are pretty much the only bookshelves in my house! Can you imagine?!


I've had the bench for a while and it looked so small and lost on that wall. Now it looks like it's one big piece! I love it!

The girls have been complaining about their bunk beds for a while now. They loved them for about a month and then decided that they didn't. So we finally gave in and took them apart. We knew since they are a twin and a full, that it was going to be a tight squeeze so we bought them a smaller computer desk. It's perfect and the girls are now THRILLED with their room. One of these days we'll finish the basement and then they can have their own room.


I know, I know, I REALLY need to paint that wainscotting! It's been on the back burner for about two years now! But I've had Porter around. He doesn't let me do much except clean up his disasters!
