FROM JANUARY TO MAY



Time is going by so fast this year! 
Hard to believe is already May. 

The truth is this year we are taking it much easier than others, may be is the age :) or we are just tired.
There is still many projects in our list, but we are just taking it one day at a time.

I thought I give you a little glimpse of what we have been up to for the last four months.
January was sure an "indoor project" month around here.
Since the weather pretty much stayed in the 30's all month we dedicated our free time 
to work on things around the house.

We added a small work area to my craft room.



Build a ironing board holder for the laundry room.




Made some upgrades and changes in our master bathroom.




And spent almost every weekend working on building my husband's workshop.
Not finished yet, but getting there.



And then came my drop cloth obsession! LOL
I made quite a few changes around the house using this fabric.




My biggest project so far this year was updating the living room.
It took me over five weeks to reupholster the backs of the sofas, made new pillow covers, changed the fabric of  the ottoman and added nail heads to it.
I also installed grommets to all my existing drapes.




While that was happening, I made numerous pillows for our home.



And we built a new ottoman for our bedroom sitting room.




I also made some changes to the front porch for Valentine's and Spring.





I added a few Spring touches to the inside of our home.
Making the Spring dioramas was so much fun! :)




Now I am working on updating the dinning room using what I already have.





And with the glorious weather we are having, I couldn't help adding some Spring colors to my front and back porch.






I am working right now on making some changes in our home library and my husband just finished building a little something to add to our updated living room. :)
Always something happening around here and I am looking forward to continue upgrading our home 
for the rest of the year.

TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME #59 AND FEATURES


Hello everyone!
I hope you had a lovely weekend.

We enjoyed ours very much.
With the wonderful temperatures we are having in South Texas, once again we are back to 
enjoying the outdoors after the long winter we had. It sure feels good. :)

Enough talking and lets take a look at last week's features.

Kayla from HomeComing and her husband are an amazing DIY couple. 
Their recent master bathroom renovation was something to see and now they have impressed us 
again with this beautiful shoe storage that they built. 
Gorgeous space!!!



Becky from My Paper Craze showed us how to make a beautiful Spring ribbon wreath.
So pretty and original!




Noreen from Crafty Journal gave us a super great tip on how to clean your blinds the easy way. 
Great post!




Ramon from Row House Events gave us a look at all the upgrades he has made in his home and also the transition of his decorating style. Loved this post. Superb before/after pictures. 
Well done!




Holly from The Coconut's Head rebuilt with the help of her Dad a 100 years old bench that belonged to her grandfather. Beautiful! What an amazing heirloom!




Jennifer from Frugal Morning  organized her pantry so beautifully!
You just have to go see her before/after pictures.
