I'm just going to slide right on in here like it hasn't been a whole year since I typed out some words in a post and hit publish...
Aaand so, I'll just cut to the chase.
We had another baby this past March. Theo Francis - swallowing the family weight record by a whole pound and a half at 9 lbs. 3 oz.
Remember our twins? I don't write too much about how our kids are aging but let me tell you, these twins of ours are aging. They're TWEENS! I know, right?! Nuts. Anyway, with growing up comes the accumulation of stuff - and I would argue that that is even more so the case with girls. More clothes, crafts galore, collectibles, books, bags, jewelry, and most recently, make up (just mascara and blush on limited occasions but good grief time, slow down). All of that is to say, these tween twins were running out of places to put their stuff. Their room isn't huge though and their closet nothing to write home about but they did have an empty wall that had potential written all over it (and a mess all around it too).
So...We did NOT need another project this past summer but for several weeks, I kept a side eye out on Facebook Marketplace for a shelving unit/cabinets/whatever I could find that would hold all of their accumulating stuff.
I'm back with another painted glass project the kids tackled so long ago that I'm not even going to tell you how long ago because it involves years. If you've been reading for long, you might've seen me paint glass a time or six. Let's see, there's...
the "choose happy",
I almost called this a "Reveal" but we're waiting to get some cabinet doors made to fit over where the old wall oven used to go and there a couple of other tweaks that we want to happen so revealing our finished kitchen I am not, but I am here to show you how far we've come in five years.
Spoiler alert: Things have CHANGED. Big time.
This was move-in day:
And this was last week:
Last I checked in with kids' bathroom progress we were talking about the newly smoothed ceilings and cruisin' (maybe more like inching) onto the vanity. Well so far, we've bought sinks, new faucets should be here Monday, and I'm going to try and hunt down a countertop next week. I sanded down the cabinet frame sanded down the cabinet frame and need to start working on the doors but I've got an idea I've got to iron out before I keep going there. Soooo...
I took a quick detour over to the closet. I'm pretty sure it hasn't seen a fresh coat of paint maybe since the house was built 50 years ago much less a deep, deep clean. Throw a bunch of stuff inside from a family of seven and...it was time. Makeover!
