Projects

Over the last month and a half, we have been working on some projects around the house. I love building/creating things with Matt. He does a great job at making my ideas come to life.  

I picked up some old windows at an antique store in town for a great deal! I was so excited to find them. This one just needed some scrapping and a new coat of paint.

 

 We are now using it to display our family pictures. I just put some fabric in the panes where there are no pictures.

Matt also made this big frame for me to hang miscellaneous pictures. This frame was in the making for a long time, but as the tools needed were acquired, we finally got it finished and hung.

 

 I got this shelf idea off of Pinterest. I really liked the shelf in the natural wood color, but it didn't really fit Riley's room so I painted it.

The finished product. We hung it low so Riley can reach the books when he gets a little older.

I hang so many pictures in my house that I can't just go out and buy a bunch of frames that are exactly what I want. My solution is to paint the frames I find. I found the best paint for this is the paint you use on your walls cause it's thicker than spray paint or some other types I've tried. We hung this collage in the baby's room this weekend and will add to it as I take pictures of him.

This is an old project, but I realized I never put a picture on here. His first Christmas ornament-his hand print.

 

This isn't a project, or is it? I just love pictures of him sleeping!
