Catch up

I've been meaning to write about several things for a while now... so I'm going sum up some of the ones I've been thinking about...

Pat and I decided to be very productive this summer so we've had some fun projects going on.
First, Pat built us a nice little deck area for our backyard, which is all rock... It's nice to have a little area to put some chairs and enjoy the weather that has been steadily cooling off...


















Then we decided to make an old wood door into a headboard for our King size bed... that has sadly been without one since we bought it about 2 yrs ago. It turned out so great! I love it so much, and we painted our two nightstands to match. Now we are on the lookout for a low 6 drawer dresser.


























We made (and I mean Pat) this cute magnetic chalk board for Brooks. Now he has a nice little area in our dining room for his puzzles, coloring books, and now a chalk board where we can work on numbers and colors.

















Future projects.... We are trying to sell the current furniture we have in Brooks' room and buy a twin bed for him so he'll have a little more room for toys and such. Pat is currently working on a toy box, that he started when Brooks was a year old. I am planning on refinishing my cedar chest so we can put it at the end of our bed. I'll post some pictures as we complete these ones.

I LOVE your headboard. Way to go on all the projects. It's nice having a handy husband, isn't it?!

Yes, it is nice having such a handy guy around. I really am spoiled, especially that he's willing to to all the stuff I want him to build :)
