Weekend Project: Window Treatments

This Memorial Day weekend we tackled some house projects. Bryan and my dad worked hard on the bathroom, getting the electrical all set up and knocking down some more plaster. Meanwhile, my mom and I worked on window treatments for the front part of our living room. We got some new bamboo shades and also made our own curtains! (Thankfully I had a 50% off coupon for Joann's otherwise our curtains would have been super expensive...) My mom's expert sewing skills were put to good use making these awesome curtains! We are so thankful for parents that can help out around the house, we wouldn't be any where near as far along without them. Enjoy the updates, next stop: window treatments for the kitchen and finishing the guest room shade :)

The work on the house continues! Thanks to my dad, we were able to get crown molding up in the living room and kitchen this weekend. It looks AWESOME! It's not finished yet, still need to paint and such, but it makes such a big difference and makes the room feel finished. Also, you will find pictures of our "seascape" bathroom upstairs, lovingly dubbed this as we had sand paint on the walls w/a tan/blue mix of colors. The best part is that our bathroom was REDONE at some point so people CHOSE sand paint! Blech....anyway, Bryan is tearing all that out now so we're underway on that major project as well. We've really enjoyed all our projects so far - let's hope we stay here long enough to keep going!
