Fixing Up The House


We’ve started making holes in our walls, and buying/taking furniture!!:)
On facebook, there is a Warrensburg Swap Shop… if your town does not have one, start one up!
Its a place for people in the area to post what they have for sale, what you are looking for, and services
and events you offer!
We found our headboard and footboard on there.
It was $100 and in new condition, as they never used it.
We currently have my TWIN comforter from when I lived in the dorms on our bed. Our bed is a QUEEN! haha.
Saving up our moneys to buy the comforter we want!:)
Chris has painted 1 of my 4 shelves/bookcases and its now in the house…
Havent decided where to put my flag or plant, so for now, they go on the bench!
He has also BUILT one of his projects.
We still need to paint it, it will look a lot better after that.
But for now, it works! [because I have no idea what color to paint it]
I just need to get some lights and storage, and my vanity will be complete!:)
We’ve also decided to just go ahead and use the shelf that was left here in the laundry room.
We want some sort of system, [or at least one that goes from wall to wall] but we’ll work on that room at another time.
Once we got this hung up, we cleared out the paint cans, trash boxes and a few tubs…
I walked in and was stunned to see how BIG the room had gotten!
We helped my sister move last weekend, and decided to take this home with us, since no one wanted it.
So we now have a tv stand in our bedroom….. that rotates! :]
You can kinda see the piece at the very bottom, its the stand still part, and the draws up can rotate.
So you can turn it anyway you want.
I couldn’t take a picture of that because Chris put it right against the wall, so no rotating!
On to the fun stuff…. all the holes in the wall we made!:)
We took these two old wood frames we got in Branson, and took left over twine from the wedding and make “picture frames”
We’ve also taken some items we already had and made ourselves a cork board, and a menu board
in our kitchen.
We also made a key holder! :) Since we have SO MANY keys!!
& We finally found a frame big enough… [too big actually] and were able to hang up our caricture [sp]!
Which I don’t believe we ever posted a picture of it, or we may have!?
Its the one that we did in Atlanta, GA at the Aquarium… while on our honeymoon!
We still have a few more pictures to get hung up.
3 more bookcases need to be painted and brought in…
Our Kitchen cabinet doors still need to be done,
and my craft table should be built here in a few weeks, so our second room/craft room/dog room
will make its debut soon!!:)
