I love this door! I have such a dark color of paint on my walls and this adds so much natural light!

Projects
This year I would like to finish a few things I have been wanting to do around the house.
-new house numbers-2 of our #'s are black and the other is sivler(our numbers are turning silver b/c of the sun)
-new fabric for my dining room chairs
-new bench or a slip cover for the one we have (it is in front of our living room window and it is for the dogs to sit on-so nothing too expensive.
-bronze door knobs
-bronze faucets
-new kitchen sink and faucet
-storm door
-new carpet
-new furniture for our bedroom
What we have done so far:
We have new house numbers in bronze!!!
With my mother in laws help we recovered my dining room chairs and found a new bench for the dogs (that goes well with my living room).
We are getting a storm door put up today and my sister in law sent me a website that shows you how to turn your door knobs into the finish that you want. So I can have bronze door knobs for only....wait for it........................$8.00. Yes. $8.00 I am also going to try to finish the faucets with the same instructions b/c as she pointed out-"what is the worst that could happen-you HAVE to buy new ones?"
so all that is left is:
-New carpet
-Bedroom furniture
-New kitchen sink and faucet
I will post pics of the finished projects later!

A little late posting.....here it is anyway!
I was going through some photos and I ran across this one! I forgot about it and it happens to be one of my favorites!!!!!
Sunday January 9th Nick's First Snow Storm
Nicholas witnessed his first snow storm on Sunday January 9th-One day before his 3 month birthday!!! When there was quite a bit of snow on the ground I took him towards the window-he looked outside and then looked at me and smiled! It must have made him happy! I really wanted to bundle him up in his snow suit and take pictures of him and his first snow but we never made it outside (too cold) so I bundled him up and took this picture to document the special snow day!
