the family Sykes: Purple, Plum, or Aubergine?
http://willandbri.blogspot.com/2014/08/purple-plum-or-aubergine.html
Monday, August 25, 2014. Purple, Plum, or Aubergine? This year has been the year of home projects. I am documenting everyday life a little differently this year via this method. And I can't wait to get a new dresser, but in the meantime, we're loving the new look. The process was pretty simple: prep and paint the room :) Here are some photos of the work:. We got a new bedspread! August 25, 2014 at 4:43 PM. It sure turned out great! August 25, 2014 at 4:45 PM. You have such a nice home! Mmmm I needa come ...

the family Sykes: July 2013
http://willandbri.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 25, 2013. After we learned that we needed to stay in Utah. We moved our beds in on April 27th and have loved making it our own since then. I forgot to take some photos of the empty house, so here are some of the pictures that were posted with the listing:. This is a shot taken in early spring. The grass is now green and the yard border is full of beautiful greenery. One of the other three bedrooms (this is the nursery and looks nothing like this now! This is the family room:. Simple templa...

the family Sykes: February 2013
http://willandbri.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2013. Sunday, February 24, 2013. We have so much good news to share. Where to begin? How about I start at the very beginning? When we moved from Biloxi, we had plans to move to Washington since we accepted a job there. We were excited, ready for another adventure in a different part of the nation. Everything was good to go, including the licensure process and moving arrangements. We told people where we were headed. So good news: WE ARE STAYING IN UTAH! I could go on and on about a...

the family Sykes: White Cabinets 1.0
http://willandbri.blogspot.com/2015/02/white-cabinets-10.html
Saturday, February 21, 2015. White Cabinets 1.0. So almost two years ago, we painted some of our kitchen cabinets in order to brighten the space and see if white cabinets were something that we would want to invest in sometime in the future when we would redo the whole kitchen. (Spoiler alert: we loved them and invested in new white cabinets before we ever expected to.). Here is a picture from the listing of the house before we purchased it:. First, we removed all the hardware and doors from the frames.

the family Sykes: April 2013
http://willandbri.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 16, 2013. 2013 Goals - 1st Quarter Update. It's time for my first goal update of the year. Sadly this one is going to be short and pretty depressing. I'm not going to make excuses for not getting much done in these first few months, but just going to document why not much was accomplished for the sake of keeping a record. Anyway, those are the main reasons I have been so slacker-ish, but I have high hopes for the future. Now, a reminder of the goals:. 1 Read the 5 books listed:. Emerson is...

the family Sykes: August 2013
http://willandbri.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 7, 2013. Isn't it luxurious to have as high as possible, yea even vaulted ceilings? I always thought so. Anyway, the long-term plan is to knock out a wall and raise the ceiling and make an island and do all sorts of fun things to make the kitchen just boss. Until then, the dark cabinets have to go to at least help a little bit. With the feeling of crampiness in there. Not this gal. It was significantly darker even in daylight than it looks in this picture.). After sanding, we used a deg...

the family Sykes: October 2012
http://willandbri.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Last Friday night, we attended our ward's fall festival and had such. A good time. It was so well done and we thoroughly enjoyed being there with our ward family. In addition to a chili cook-off, games were provided for the children and trunk-or-treating finished the evening perfectly. We decided to dress up as a family this year and chose to be Russell, Carl, and Kevin from the movie Up. This suit coat complete with elbow pads (hehe) was only $5.99. How great is that? Sometime...

the family Sykes: 2014 Goals
http://willandbri.blogspot.com/2014/01/2014-goals.html
Tuesday, January 21, 2014. This talk by President Uchtdorf. Perfectly sums up my purpose in choosing my goals. One of his quotes explains my thoughts especially well:. We were created with the express purpose and potential of experiencing a fulness of joy. Our birthright—and the purpose of our great voyage on this earth—is to seek and experience eternal happiness. One of the ways we find this is by creating things.". This year, I hope to create a better me. Physically, spiritually, mentally.
