Changes....

It has been awhile since I have posted and mainly that is because my best friend and I have started a new business together(sourdoughgirlscreate.blogspot.com) We have taken over a friends food co-op and have started teaching classes and will soon have a mini-store in one of the basement bedrooms. So it has been busy at my home and my hubby has started a new career/business too as a realtor... so needless to say changes are in the air for our family!!
House projects are coming but really slowed down, mainly just garden hot wire fence (pesky moose)so hopefully will post some changes soon real soon....

I love Vinyl...

I love Uppercase Living Vinyl...yes I am a demonstrator... but I love how easy it is to decorate...wanted to post a couple additions to the house...not all vinyl but am loving it!!
Our living room with Dandelion Dance:

Here is a sneak peak of what I am doing to our stairs...

Kitchen Aid and Dishwasher...

Had a couple samples of Uppercase Living lying around so thought I would decorate a couple appliances...
Here is the Before of my Kitchen Aid:

Here is the After:



(I have since added a dz. of so more dots to the kitchen aid, but you get the idea)

Here is my After of the dishwasher (forgot to take a before)



I think they both look great and add alittle whimsy to my ugly kitchen :)

Spring Cleaning

Well, as I said I would do some spring cleaning and it has started... my hubby and I tackled the "school" room downstairs and have about4 black garbage bags and 4 boxes of trash!! I say about because right now it is just a huge pile in the middle of the room. I am happy that my hubby helped, mainly because our now 6 week old son is not always the most complient and everyday that I want to get something done is the day, he HAS to be held all day!
A few more little projects I am working on... polka dotted my Kitchen Aid, decorated my dishwasher and painting the trim for finally finishing the upstairs bathroom. I do have some pics on my camera, but having problems downloading them onto the computer...so hopefully will figure that out today and post some pics.. :)
I have a friend coming over on Monday to help me declutter the kitchen. She is a great friend who LOVES to organize and keeps a very clean home...I on the other hand have great intentions and want a clean home, but don't like all the steps to get to it... :)
Until later...

Spring Break....

I have been reading some blogs lately and everyone is spring cleaning and getting ready to purge during spring break...well, that sounds like a great idea and maybe I will try and do that next week....even though this is spring break week...we have a few additions to our family....friends are going to Hawaii for their 10 year anniversary and we volunteered to watch their boys (1,3 and 6) so needless to say I am not doing any projects this week.....My hubby was able to take the time off (for the most part) and help so it is going well and I do know I am very thankful I do not normally have 7 kids under 7!!! :)
Everyone enjoy Spring Break and I'll see you in a week!!!

A progression

Ok, just wanted to share with you in one post of my Master Bedroom changes....My sister came over and walked into my bedroom and told me it looked like a designer bedroom....I started laughing and said oh yeah with the huge pile of trash and the boxes of hand-me-down baby boy clothes I need to go through and the baskets of laundry I need to haul down to the laundry room... but she said, I didn't really pay attention to that just how everything coordinated and decorated....Well, Thank God for sisters, since I looked around and was surprised it did look nice (besides all the above I mentioned) so I thought I would post a few pics of the transformation....
Before (09 when we moved in)



Start of the transformation: (Feb. 2010)


After: (March 2011)
