Monday, November 18, 2013. I realized that I hadn't posted any pictures of the Barn Door project (thanks for the comment Elizabeth! We love the idea of a barn door and we were trying to figure out where to utilize one. We thought it would be a great addition to the main floor powder bath. Our good friends, the Phillips, have an old family farm with some old barns. We bought the hardware from them. I gave the rail a good sanding and then a fresh coat of black paint. The rail is secure and ready for a door!

Monday, May 5, 2014. Heather grew up in Pella and, for her, this is the best time of the year! We headed to Pella on Saturday for the festivities. The dudes of the family have matching Dutch gear!

They send the street scrubbers down the street prior to the parade starting, we are ready to go! Water and brush.scrub away! Trigg did a great job and had fun scrubbing the streets.

Heather has our house decorated for fall, so let's take a little tour. The tree in our front yard is looking awesome right now, green to bright red! We made these pumpkins out of 4x4 posts and then some white and orange paint and added some sticks for stems. Our chalkboard sign got an orange pumpkin.and that went up on the mantel. We we...

Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Now that Christmas and winter are almost here, I thought I would do a quick recap of fall. This is one of my favorite fall pictures and captures our boys personalities pretty well.Garrett, mister serious and Trigg giggling in the background. We did make it to the Pumpkin Ranch again this year. Trigg got to jump on the trampolines. And ride a pony! Our little pumpkin in a wheelbarrow. This was the best smile we could get out of both of the boys! Our "Thankful" chalkboard sign.

Friday, January 17, 2014. We have had these lights for several years now, we got them from Ikea and they work great. We are going to use them in the basement and we thought it was time for some new lighting in the living room. We found these wall sconces on sale and ordered two! I'm a big fan of the glass pendant and the cloth cord. We got some filament bulbs to complete the "vintage" look. They installed fairly quickly and I think add a nice look to the room. 6 balloons 2 year old boy = hours of fun!

Tuesday, December 2, 2014. We have the tradition in our home that the weekend after Thanksgiving we decorate for Christmas. We get our tree up and the house gets transformed. This year Trigg was really excited as we got out the Christmas decor and he was a big helper! Here is a tour around our house with our decorations.enjoy! Our mantel is ready, with the "Merry Christmas" chalkboard sign. All 4 stockings hung! I took a few close up pictures of Heather's work.she made most of the ornaments this year.
