Baby's Room Paint

The only thing even resembling crafting I have done the past week has been painting the baby's room. I ran into all kinds of trouble with the room, and I am so happy it is done. Originally I wanted the stripes to be different, but I think they look okay. I am really not happy with the color, but I think once everything is in the room and things are on the wall I will like it.

I have a picture of me painting Brady's room but with his name on the wall. We don't know the name of this little one, but I still wanted a picture of me painting. Too bad it is a horrible belly pic, oh well.

 The painting itself did not take too long, but getting the stripes straight took way too long.

 One wall has the stripes, The other 3 walls area lighter yellow, and the ceiling is white.  

 As straight as they are going to get.

 I thought the colors would look okay in the store, but I don't know. Maybe they will grow on me.

So excited to get the rest of baby's room done. I can't wait to cuddle my new baby in the room in just a few months!

New Faucet

This is not really a craft, BUT it was done during nap time, and I need to post something! I miss my camera so much. (Sigh, Anyway!)

A few weeks ago we had a leaky faucet. More like, if you turn it on the kitchen will be soaked, faucet. After my handsome husband tried to fix it, and then my father-in-law, we had this.



Just getting the faucet off was tricky. We ended up getting an entire new faucet. It was a blessing in disguise, because this one is soooo much better. It has a pullout spray, and soap dispenser. I love it.
(I really want to change up behind the sink area, any ideas?)


I won't go into the troubles of the faucet, but I will tell you what we learned.

- New home builders are very cheap. Everything we encountered in this process was cheap and would have to be replaced eventually.

- Home repair, even plumbing can be done yourself. Try something first before calling a professional. It may be harder, but you will learn a ton, and next time it will be so much easier.

-Some people at Lowe's and Home Depot know what they are talking about.

-If you can not figure it out, ask your entire family to come over and help. It can't hurt to have lots of opinions.

That is the story of our new faucet. I can't help but look around the house now and wonder what else we can replace. Oh well, we are sticking to the "if it isn't broken don't fix it" motto.
