Lucy and Whitney's Room

So, I have been wanting to post house photos but there are still so many things that I want to do to our house.  I hardly have any pictures on the walls and I have a huge list of decorating projects that I have yet to start.

My mom painted the nightstand that we had in Lucy and Whitney's room.  It turned out so darling that I had to share and I thought I would include a few pics of their room as well.

Before - Ok, so I don't have a before picture, but this is pretty much what the room looked like.  Bright pink!  Lucy liked it, but it had to go!!!

During - You can still see the pink through two layers of primer

After - We added wainscot and painted the upper walls purple (Lucy's favorite color).  I still have art projects that I want to do, but I liked their room and it is very fun and colorful!

Their cute nightstand!!!  I loved how it turned out.  The girls keep their Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty figurines in it, so I added a little castle backdrop to the back of the inside.  I love it!

Daniel did such an awesome job with all of the house projects and we love living here.  Hopefully I will have more picture to post soon.

Our life recently

Our life recently has consisted aid a lot of construction and painting and tiling. We are so ready to be done and so exited to be in our new home for Christmas! Thanks for everyone who has been helping us get it finished!

Organization

I would really love to be organized some day...to have a place for everything and know where everything is in my house. Upstairs, I am doing okay, but our basement is a disaster. We haven't ever put it back together since the flood. (please see following pictures)

Well, I am really sick of our messy basement, but it is a little overwhelming to know where to begin. But I decided that I needed to start somewhere. I decided to start with the food storage. Now, I know this is probably a little nerdy, but I decided to alphabatise it. It is now organized and I can easily see what we have and what we need more of. Hopefully this will help me in getting a better supply of food, as the prophets have counciled.

Next, I think I am going to organize the other half of that storage room, which has a pallette of wheat, probably from 1970 something, a couple of filing cabinets, and about 15 paint cans. Oh well, one thing at a time I guess.
