Well, it's been cold here. REALLY, REALLY cold. 5 degrees on Friday morning. I'm ready for Spring! Needless to say, I don't feel we've been very productive the last couple of weekends...much more interested in hibernating. But, I do have a couple of shots below to show that we've done a LITTLE work.
Here are the stairs (going from the mudroom up to the kitchen) that have been unfinished since last Summer. This project did actually take quite some time---I helped with the mitre saw and we had to get exact cuts to make the handrail fit just right. More work than one would think!
Drilling the holes for the spindles.
And, the finished product! Well, a bit of touch up paint and staining, and finishing out the back of the stairs. But, at least we now have a rail!
And, here was the most rewarding project of the weekend---these are the curtains that have hung in our bathroom since we moved in. They look like old sheets with these tacky flower holders on top. Seriously, I'd like to burn these in the backyard. UGH! So, this is the before...
And, here's the after! YEA! We put up the same blinds that we now have in the guestroom and downstairs bathroom. Oh so much better! It's the little things that make me happy. :)

Don't you just LOVE to get a project done after waiting so long...I do!! Oh and Josh and Brooke should put their trainers side by side and ride together. :)
