New Cabinet

I got a cheap little cabinet for our upstairs bathroom instead of the bath stand we had. I liked how I could hide our stuff inside and it's the only place I could think of to put the new cabinet and I really liked it.

It didn't have a towel bar like the old bath stand so I didn't know where I'd put my decorative towels.

I got a large drawer pull and Hubby drilled holes and screwed it on and it works perfect as a towel bar.

It's Rudolph Day Again!

I didn't do much on Rudolph Day, but I did quite a bit during the month. I made another order for Hubby and I'm just about done with him. I ordered something for my brother so he'll be done with a gift card. I know what I'm getting for my Mom, I just have to order it. I need to have another wrapping session and I just might do it later today. I wrote out our Christmas lists for my Mom and gave them to her so she can start and finish her shopping early. I made a fabric scrap wreath for Halloween a few weeks ago and I did one for Christmas yesterday. You'll see pictures when they are hanging. Hope everyone has a good chunk of Christmas prep done. The Houseworks Holiday Plan starts next week and I've already started that too.

New Stairs

We decided to take the carpet off our stairs and we bought tread kits to make them into wooden stairs. We painted the risers white and stained the steps to match our other stain. I think it looks way better than before. Here's the ugly carpeted stairs.

Here's the cheap pressboard stairs we found under the carpet. Oh and Max.

Here's the new fancy stairs. Next, there's an overhang at the top of the stairs that we will be putting a small section of railing along to clean up the edge and make it look more finished.

I still have to touch up the white paint where the nails went in and touch up the stain on the sides and hubby is painting the railing brackets black instead of brass so it looks like a brand new stairwell. I think this is the last major project for this year. If it ever cools off around here we might try to do some yard work this Fall. We'll see...

Laundry Stitching

I finally finished my laundry room cross stitch. It seems like it took forever. My next stitching is an easier one of a scarecrow lady. I framed and hung the new cross stitch over the laundry machines.
