Dining Room Stuff

I had a few crow things so I decided to get some more and do the whole hutch with crow stuff. I think it looks good in the new dining room.
I got a new chandelier for the dining room. I'm using LED lights so I wanted shades to hide the ugly, but the shades are a little big. It's the best I can do though so I'm living with it that way.

Bathroom Redo (Again!)

I just painted the upstairs bathroom last year, but I was never really happy with the color. Every time I saw my Mom's or Aunt's bathrooms, I was jealous because I liked their colors better. Finally, I just decided to repaint. My Mom had enough of the bottom color for me to use and I got the top color. I figured if I was going to repaint again, I should upgrade the accessories too. We got new towel bars, a light and a faucet in bronze. Then, I decided to get new brown curtains because my Mom has them and it looks good with the colors. I'm finally happy with the whole bathroom look. No more painting for me for a while.

Projects

I made this throw as my first attempt at knitting cables. It came out good and it was pretty easy. It's very thick yarn and really heavy though.
I decided to put a shelf above the bedroom windows. I love how it looks, so now we have to make a shelf for the single window on the other side of the room.

Bedroom Redo

I hated the gray color I painted our bedroom last. It was warm and it looked purple, but the room is so big I lived with it because I didn't want to paint again. My Mom said she'd help me paint so I decided to redo the room. I found a picture with a quilt shelf above a bed and I found a shelf that was similar.
We made a new nightstand for me and I put the chest of drawers I was using in the closet for more storage. It is very old and was putting sawdust on my PJ's when I opened the drawers. I got a new cabinet for the corner to store PJ's and sweaters. I like the new gray color much better and I think the room came out good.

Crafts

My Mom and I made this little prim dress. I hung it in the downstairs hallway.
We made this nightstand for my side of the bed. I wanted a smaller one that would balance out the other one for my bedroom redo.

Updates

I saw a picture with crows on stair risers on a porch and I liked it so I decided to get some for the inside stairs.
I decided to update the decor in the stairwell too. I took down a door with hooks that was on the front and I put up a twig wreath and a shelf with a sign.
I added some pops of red to the blue room to break it up a little bit. Then, it reminded me of Americana so...
I added a little Uncle Sam sitting on top of some flag boxes. I like how it turned out.

Awesome File Cabinet

My Aunt and Uncle made a double wide file cabinet that is primitive and so nice looking. I can't fit a double wide one anywhere so I asked them to make me one that's a single file cabinet and it came out perfect. It looks so much nicer than a block of metal one. I love it!
