Busy as Bees!

It seems like there is always something going on lately in our house.  We have been married for almost two months and we have already checked a lot off of our "To Do List." 

 For example we have....
  • Refinished two dressers
  • Sanded and stained the floor in the living room
  • Stained the built in bookcase in the living room
  • Tiled the bathroom floor
  • Painted the bathroom
  • Refinished the cabinets in the bathroom
  • Put together Jake's office (one of my fav's!) Daniel will be extra proud of me for this project.
  • Put together both guest rooms downstairs
  • Rearranged the living room TWICE! ...still may need some tweaking:)
  • Numerous craft and decorating projects
  • Refinished our kitchen table and reupholstered the chairs
  • Turned a hobbit closet into a built in pantry/shelving unit. It'll make more sense when you see it.
  • Widened two doorways
  • Put slate on the kitchen floor and travertine on the countertops. Put in a slate backsplash and stained the cabintets....okay we may have done the last two before we were married...but they still count!:)
I told you we have been busy!!!

I never know what to expect when I get home from work. Projects that I thought we would hold off on for awhile, are in full demolition when I walk in my door!  Jake is amazing at not procrastinating projects and getting them done ASAP!  One of my favorite things about Jake is when I text him to remind him about things that need to be done his reply is usually that he has already done them!:)

One of my favorite craft projects that I have done is painting kinghorn on my mirrors.
It's king of hard to see with the reflection in the mirrors but I love it! What are your thoughts? I have contemplated putting a second shelf above this one and removing the mirrors but I worry I would have to lower my shelf too low and it sits right above my kitchen table.

As for the rest of the projects I'll try to remember to take pictures of them so that I can post about them as well. Hope everyone is having an AMAZING DAY!
