If I haven't been blogging, then what have I been doing . . .

Lots of things . . .

1. making freezer jam (since my kids won't eat regular jam)
2. entertaining children (since I still don't have TV)
3. organizing
4. organizing
5. organizing (you get the picture???)
6. redecorating (i deserve my very own HGTV special)

Here is one project. These barstools were left by the owner and they are soft and comfy and fit perfectly in the space, but I just didn't love them . . . so 5 cans of spray paint ($0.96 each) 2 yards of fabric found at Walmart ($4.49 per yard)



and $15 bucks later -- I have new barstools. I love them!!!!
What do you all think out there in the blogosphere? Do you like them better black? I also loved the fabric so much that I went back and bought enough for curtains. When they are done I will post them too!

I love the chairs! Very nice. I wish i had half the energy that you have to take on projects one after another. I've forgotten what it's like to have energy:)

Yes I love them, I wish I lived near you for some ideas.

They looks so much better. I love your home improvement ideas. My kids copied your lettering with mod podge. We just did them last week and love them. Although Spencer didn't want his name; he opted for GO BYU! In blue and white of course. :)

Ooh, I do like them. Very nice. I got all of my window treatment fabric at Walmart too, sometimes they really have nice fabric. And speaking of you having to make freezer jam, we are highly enjoying yours that you left us :). And it's saving me from making more for the moment (but I do have the berries for when our stash runs out).

So that is all you have been doing...next time try to find something to occupy your time. Good job on the bar stools. When I am ready to buy a house and decorate it between you and Mom I won't need an interior decorator!

You did a great job on the chairs.
I love your stove also.

I think your changes are great. Could you come to my house and help? 4 years and still white walls with the same 8 pictures/frames from when we moved in.
