winter projects

a lot has changed around the house over the past few months.  first, aaron repainted our bedroom from peach to a lovely light blueish grey.  then he finished the baseboards and crown molding.  it's so serene now!  i really love it.



then he repainted the living room from dark blue to cream.  it really lightened up the room!


then he wallpapered-up the giant world map that his family got him for his birthday.  it's so awesome!

on the wall!

after painting and putting up the map aaron got to work on putting up trim in that room.  he also added some beautiful wainscotting and a cool frame for the map.

framed map, wainscotting, crown molding and baseboards.  so pretty!
next up for the living room will be an arts-and-crafts style feature framing off the living room from the rest of the house.  aaron has some giant recycled timbers that will be installed with traditional timber-frame methods.  there will also be small pony walls/shelves on the bottom.  can you tell from the tape how it might look?



and just for fun, here is isla utilizing the tape situation to create a block sculpture.

This may sound silly, but it made me so happy to see all of your Christmas cards still up in April- I do the same thing. It is such a gift to be surrounded by reminders of people we care about all over the globe!
