My new desk and bunny hut

Here is my most recent project. I wanted somewhere to keep our computer and books so I decided to turn the spare bedroom closet into a desk. The project started small but like most this I do, my brain kept coming up with new ideas. Anyways what started out as a piece of stained wood as a shelf turned into this. I added a place to store my wine and a few glasses as well as some lighting above the desk and down lighting on the grass weave wallper behind the monitor. Also I was bored one day so I built a little "bunny hut" out of scrap pieces I had around the yard. Yes I also hand painted the bunny hut sign haha.

A few more house pics

Here's a few pictures of our front yard landscape. Also a new playground for Sisi in the back.

Two more rooms painted

Well we painted two more rooms in our new house. The bedroom we painted just this week and are really happy with how it turned out. We also painted the headboard, dresser, and night table that we already had. The other room we painted was the main bathroom. In the bathroom I painted the cabinet the same color as the furniture in the bedroom. The cabinet in the bathroom was a light oak which is kinda dated.

More photos of our new house

So now that we've been in our place for a weekish i decided to post a few pics of progress so far. We've done simple fixes so far like paint and yard work. We still need to paint the halls, our bedroom and Sienna's room. The yard as you will see is mostly dirt for now. The people before us had all rock in the back, not even a bit of grass. I have been removing all the rocks to make way for some sod in the near future. We're very happy with the house and very blessed




Before, after some rock removal, still lots to do

Our new house!!!!

Here is our new house in Hollister, CA. We are very excited to get into it this week and paint and do the floors. More pictures to come once we're in it.

Happenings and my 3 month before and after

Well it's been a while so i'll add a few pictures of things that have gone on. Also one of the biggest things happening in my life was my goal of losing 20 lbs since January 5th. We just recently celebrated Elizabeth's 29th birthday and had a special surprise visit from her parents. Sienna is doing good in gymnastics and is growing up fast. Anyways i'm heading to Las Vegas for Ben's 30th today so i'll just post pics cause i got lots to do.

I didn't want to post pics at first cause i was so humiliated by letting myself go over the last year. I decided i was really proud of myself for sticking with it and losing 21 lbs in 3 months so don't laugh at the before. This is a real before/after not like the magazines that are all photoshop.(I was gonna write before on the pic and screwed up and saved it with the black scribbly line, oops)
