Cross it off the list!

Justin has been on a handyman kick lately. Thanks to pinterest (again), I saw this idea where you go around every room of the house and write down all the things you want to fix. Since our house is pretty new we don't have many items to fix. Instead it turned into a long list of projects for each room, some decorating and cleaning too. The list seems to have motivated both of us. Love checking stuff off! 

This weekend Justin put a back splash up in our basement bathroom. It's very pretty blue glass tiles. Looks great in the room and really finishes it off. 



He also started a much bigger project in our kitchen. This is how it used to look.

And this is how it looks right now. (Ignore my messy table) 


Definitely a work in progress! Every time I explained the project, people were having a hard time picturing it, so here it is.  First, he tore out the 2 windows and the sliding glass door. Then he put up drywall where the windows used to be. Once it's complete the drywall will be painted and the trim will go back up around the door frame. It really changes the look of both rooms by separating them more yet opens up the house. Hopefully it'll be done in a couple weeks!
