Happiness

The Happy Couple...

This is what you get when you have a bored brother who is too good at what he does! Photoshop is terrifying!

for Hannah!

Pooches!

Who would have ever guessed that dogs could have different personalities? Not me. These two dogs are night and day different.

Caesar is our little princess. He won't sit or lay anywhere if it's not on a pillow. He cleans himself all the time, he does not like to get dirty.

He is the nervous eater, the worrier and and whiner. One of his favorite things to do is lay his head next to you and whimper. He needs attention all the time.

That's why Cleo has been a lifesaver. She has been Caesar's distraction. We honestly bought our dog a dog. And it's been heavenly ever since.

Cleo is calm, self entertaining and agile. While Caesar prefers to be lifted into the truck, Cleo jumps right in.

While Caesar is cozy on his pillow, Cleo is content to rough it in the dirt. Silly pooches.

Drew Can Do

Drew got some major work done on Saturday.

He trimmed out both windows. I started scraping off the windows to be repainted.

And it's crazy how much they changed the look of the house.

Then he moved onto the porch. The part I was most excited for.

The door is framed, now the actual door needs to be sanded and painted. I have the prettiest color in mind.

It is all coming together so nicely.

The posts were inspired by my friends basement trim. Shout out to Texas St! I am loving drastically it is updating the look of the house. Next on the list are the shingles for the portico. Stay tuned.

Out of My Sight.

This is what happens when you let twins out of your sight for literally no longer then 1 minute.

They work fast!

Arm Chair Makeover

Perhaps you remember this little guy, who we snagged from a lady as she was about to unload him into the landfill.

Well he was in perfect condition (yes objects in my life have genders.) but was very sun faded. And next to our other couch which wasn't sun faded, our yellow table, and our funky rug it was just a little too much color for me.

Well we bought leather dye a long time ago, I just never got around to it.

Well I was in the middle of scrubbing baseboards, and about to scratch my eyeballs out I hated it so bad. I decided, no time like the present to dye our chair. And because, like my sister says, I have the attention span of a Yorkie puppy, I couldn't be bothered with trying to find gloves. Big mistake... More on that later. So I applied the dye in fast circular motions and BAM it's like a new chair!

I love it... I'm just sitting here admiring it in our living room!! It was too easy! But with every project comes a battle scar.

Just hope I can find a way to get it off before Wednesday for Drew's sister's wedding. Yikes.

Maybe I'll just tell people it's frostbite. Look at Drew's toes, sneaking into my pictures!

The Porch, by Drew Can Do

As Drew Can Do's (801.244.8790) first project Drew is giving the home we live in a facelift as part of his advertising, study and portfolio building. Today the sheeting was installed over the brick. (Forgive me if I don't say the correct terms) this is what will hold all the fancy trim/finish work which will make the house look oh so glamorous.

As you can see the iron post have been replaced by 4X4s. All ready to be wrapped.

And for your viewing pleasure, is Cleo winking. Here's looking at you kid!

Cleo's birthdays coming up in 2 weeks!! Get excited!
