Small Projects

Last weekend Lindsey painted the kitchen and dining area. The color isn't much different than what was there. It's still a cream color, with a little gray brown. Lindsey didn't want to go much darker, since we have the dark floors and cabinets. We still have one dark red accent wall in the dining area. We plan on going to see if the light that Lindsey likes is in stock and then the kitchen will be done...well mostly. We would like to reconfigure the shelves in the pantries, but we have other projects we want to finish first.

We are wanting to finish off our master bathroom. We have been debating about getting new cabinets build that are taller or just getting new counter tops, sinks, and faucets installed. Then all we need is a little paint and a light to finish it off, since we already replaced the large single mirror with two framed mirrors For the hallway bath we are looking at buying a pre-fab 60 inch vanity with double sinks. So we'll have a little plumbing work, since there is only a single sink now.

 Summer Wreath Lindsey made. It's another one of her Pintrest projects. She sponge painted the H and attached the floors to the grapevine. Now the neighbor girls want to make a pink and purple one.

  

Ugly mailbox! I'm not sure why we have this mailbox, this neighborhood has always has the community mailboxes. I know from one of the neighbors that the lesbians that used to live in the house had another house in the neighborhood that they rented. I'm  guessing they put the mailbox up for their tenants to drop off their rent check. I wanted to take it down, but then we'd have holes in the stucco.

 

So I had some extra spray paint from when I painted an old pot. It's Rustoleum hammered spray paint. It looks a lot better than the white and brass.

 Can't believe this little guy is almost 9 years old

 We had a busy Friday. We didn't have to work today, so we took both dogs to the vet in the morning for their shots and annual check up. Rusty is doing great, especially considering he is almost 9. He has a couple of warts checked on, but they weren't concerned. Bailey was doing well too, but the vet said she was a little fluffy, and doesn't want her to gain anymore weight. She gets two walks a day and a lot of the time she doesn't even eat all her food. She still has a tucked tummy, I think a few less treats and she'll be good. Jack had an appointment this afternoon for a follow up. It's been a little more than 4 months since his surgery. He's doing well and hasn't had any issues. He doesn't have to go back until November when he's due for shots.
