Projects

We have been constantly doing all sorts of projects for our new house!  I am so tired, I could sleep forever, just call me "Rip Van Winkle".
 Aiden and Max making art for their playroom!
 Chairs I bought off Craigslist!
 Table for the chairs.  I paid $150 for the whole set; table, 6 chairs, and fitted glass for the top.
 Painting the table and chairs was a family affair!  Aiden was so proud that he painted a whole chair!
 Trevor couldn't handle watching me paint by hand any longer and took off to Home Depot.  He came back with a paint spray gun.  Most amazing invention EVER.
 Handyman Trevor.  We are renting our new house from Trevor's parents right now, so he has been trying to fix some of the things in the house on his own for them because, you know, we like them better than our other landlords and such.  He fixed the toilet and garbage disposal!
 Table: post makeover.  Amazing, I know.
 The table turned out so awesome, I figured, "why stop there"?!  So I bought an armoire from Craigslist(my favorite website, second only to Pinterest) for $30.  A big shout out to my husband and brother-in-law, Matt for picking it up for me(and other brother-in-law, Paul for subsequently moving it into the house with Trevor when I was done beautifying it).  I was informed that it is in-fact "the world's most heavy piece of furniture".  I didn't believe them until Trevor and I tried to move it 5 feet and I ended up with a fat lip.
 The corner was gouged beyond recognition.  This is a picture of the wicked awesome patch job I did.  Feel free to bask in my glow.
The end product.  I know, it's purple!  I love it!!!
