Handmade Wreaths

Sharon, Mariah and I made wreaths last night. We did it last year through Portland Nursery and decided this year to use the materials from my backyard! Eric was kind enough to cut pine branches, magnolia leaves, and other cuttings from the yard.

My wreath. I used magnolia leaves, rosemary, and pine.

It was Friday night, I am tired.

Sharon looking wonderful with her wreath.

Mariah's is au natural. (Mariah is our newest strategist).

Merry Christmas

More Christmas

It's been quite the drama here. With all the rain, we found out we REALLY need a back flow valve on the storm drain, otherwise the toilet in the basement overflows. YEAHHHH. yuck. I know more about drainage than I ever wanted to.

So we bought a white little Christmas tree since we won't have real one this year due to the short time we'll actually be here. If you're going to go fake, might as well go all the way.

Our theme this year was sparkly memories. Our ornament topped the tree.

Jeff did quite a nice job on all the drywall mudding

I am very excited about the built in cabinet so I can actually store china and pots! 3 coats from now on Sunday it will be done!

Progress shoot

We are getting there, slowly.

Eric has his official sign out front. He has been told by the neighbors that he needs more "stuff" on it, it has too much white space.

Eric has installed most of the sills and window trill. Next up, siding. Yep, that's our trash out front.

Minnie and Kitty love looking out the front window.

The handrail was painted on Friday and the cables arrive tomorrow!

This is still very much a work in progress. It will be the family room eventually but for now, you need to imagine it. It looks a lot better though without the drop ceiling and the new rail lights.

A work in progress as well. We will be building out the wall against the headboard so that you don't see the stepped foundation.
