Life & 31 Days

Just about the time you start to think too hard... life happens. We had a bout with pneumonia around here, and well the 31 days just didn't materialize. But we did alot of reading, thinking, listening, and I'd say we just practiced what we preached.

We also painted the shed! The before and afters are superb. (Thankyou Eric!) The colors are Hardware(siding), Thunder Grey(trim), and Peppery(doors), all from Sherwin Williams.  I have been dying to try Peppery on something. We're debating the Hardware/Thunder Grey for the house. There is alot of siding for our house, so we need to choose wisely.

 

You get the idea. Obviously different seasons, but Eric has done an amazing job clearing out around it to make way for usable yard/garden/play space.

 

Kitchen designs are still priority, as we will get started as soon as the new year rolls around. Bye-bye kitchen in the foyer syndrome. Our kitchen is the drop spot for everything on one tiny stretch of counter. We're taking over the previously known as dining room/school room.

Here's the original 'before' with the wallpaper.  

Here's my after wallpaper removal.

And here's where a new kitchen will go.

 

The wall on the left where the kids table is (and my current range is on the other side of the wall) should turn into a peninsula, sink infront of raised windows, and range with a window to the right will go on the right wall.

Fridge will slide down from it's current spot.

I'm. so. excited.

 

 

Meanwhile, we sort through AR Reading list, work on Handwriting Without Tears, practice math facts and enjoy fall days. School is going well. Learning and living are happening. Live out the Grammar of our Lives.
