Look What We Woke Up To

So it's not even Halloween yet and it was snowing like Winter last night. We're supposed to get more tomorrow night. It won't survive the day probably, but it's a good kick starter for that holiday mood.

Rudolph Day and HHP

I haven't done anything for Rudolph Day this month so far. I'll be finishing up in the next few weeks and I'll start watching my large collection of holiday movies. I put a couple on Netflix too. I took the past few weeks off from the HHP because I was ahead of the plan, but this week I cleaned the kitchen and finished cleaning the windows. I only have the dining room left to clean, yay! It's such a relief to be done with the porch so I can focus on finishing cleaning and Christmas prep.

Now The Fun Stuff

Here it is before we started finishing the inside.



Here it is after I painted the inside.



The edge decorated. This stuff might change, but this is all I could find for now.



Finished.



Finished.



Finished.



I wish I could get better pictures, but the room is kind of small and the front corner is too dark right now to get a good one. Hopefully, you can see some details. We put trim around the windows and a window shelf on each. There will be a table in the corner next to the loveseat, but it's not painted yet. We're just so happy to be done working on it every night.

Porch

This is how it began.



This is how it ended. We put the shutters and the storm door on this past weekend. It took forever. Next year the lattice and the railings will be stained gray to match the front stairs.

HHP

This week is bathroom and linen closet week for the HHP. Today I cleaned the upstairs bath. I checked the linen closet, but it's still pretty organized from Spring cleaning. I did the downstairs bath last week because it was laundry week and that's where the washer and dryer are. The whole upstairs is completely clean. I just have the kitchen and dining room left. The porch is scheduled to be finished this Friday so we'll be trying to finish the inside this weekend.

Puzzle

I did my new Fall puzzle last week. It was really easy for 1000 pieces. It only took a week to complete. It was still fun.

Boo!

I decorated for Halloween this past weekend. I did above the mantle area a little differently this year. I have a Halloween wreath that was there last year, but I think I'm saving that for the porch door.
