As promised I am going to share pics of our home improvement/ art projects thus far. We have now not only been to the Georgetown Habitat For Humanity Re-Store, but also one in Austin. We have heard there is another one and will visit that one most likely tomorrow.
This is a pic of the cabitnet doors we bought in the AS IS section at IKEA. The idea here is to keep the kids feet from scuffing up the wall. I think it looks pretty cool!
Here is the "new" lighfixureI bought yesterday at the Austin RE-Store. It's a bit hard to see the green color, but it's really neat looking. WAY better than the boring one we had and for $20 a total steal! We got it installed today.
Next I am posting some art projects that I have worked on over the past few months. I am not the best artist in the world, but I do enjoy using that side of my brain, it relaxes me.
I got the idea for these on a recent visit to my friend Amy's house. Her mother made some AWESOME things for her kids rooms and I stole her ideas! Here again, I used cabinet doors bought at the Ikea AS IS section and flowers, ribbon and buttons I got on sale at various places.
Well, I guess that's it for now. Keeping busy. After ripping the carpet out of the dining room today Jeff looked at me and said "I gotta get a job!" I said, "Why, cause I'm killing you with home projects????" Yep. LOL!

We have also painted and floored our downstairs powder room. The picture you will see is one I painted on one of those old windows I bought last week.
Today we pulled out the carpet in our dining room and plan to install wood flooring. That will take some time, but as soon as we have it done, I will post pics!

Very cool! I love the new floor in the bathroom. I covet your fabulous deal!

Dude - if my wifey was making me do all that work, I'd be HIGHLY motivated to get a job so I could take a break!
Love the light fixture and the window painting! You know - our house is just down the road if you guys want to come do projects for us! :>) It's good to hear you are both keeping occupied while job searching. You two are amazing people and you will get through this. Enjoy your time together!
