Over Spring Break I created a "Honey Do" list for us to use for our "free time"... We made daily trips to Home Depot for supplies and/or to return supplies. But... at the end of the week, we now have...
A functional dining room table - Ian took the base that we already had, cleaned it up with wood oil, leveled the top, stained a piece of wood, tacked it onto the base and put a large piece of glass over that!
A garden in the front yard- Ian put his new tiller attachment for the weed-eater to work and tilled the side border and the small "garden plot" in the front. We now have a much larger garden in the front yard. We are planning on planting some seeds and bulbs later this week. We had hoped to plant today, but the weather changed and started snowing, guess that was a good sign to NOT plant yet!
An awesome desk complete with file storage and shelves! We use the two two-drawer file cabinets as a base and bought a piece of laminated particle board which we had cut to match the depth of the file cabinets... then took the extra board cut so that we could make 2 shelves that run the length of the new desk.
A clean house- I spent most of the week cleaning house, doing laundry, putting clothes away and organizing. I spent a better part of the beautiful day yesterday in the basement moving my scrapbooking supplies from their tubs and boxes to the desk and shelves! Now we only need to move the bookshelves from their current resting place to a new spot in the basement... that will open up some floor space when we empty the boxes of books!
We only need to finish the painting projects in the kitchen (needs one wall primed and painted) as well as the one spot in the office above the door. Then install the backsplash in the kitchen and I will be a happy girl!!! We also plan on planting a garden in the backyard with flowers and food!!! With any luck we will have a beautiful house for the rehearsal dinner in July!!!
Pictures coming soon...
