Home Improvements

New washer/dryer

New ceiling fan in bedroom

New valance in guest bath

Got these canister sets for only $4.99! Love them!

New curtains in living room

New ceiling fan #2

New valance in living room

New valance in kitchen

New valances in kitchen nook

Since the start of the year, I've been trying to complete all my little (and not so little) projects. Long story short...my house is looking much better! I've sewn new curtains/valances, put up new decorations, put up new ceiling fans, organized my pantries, made an FHE board, the list goes on and on! I LOVE IT!! In addition to all that, my washer and dryer broke so we had to replace them. The new ones are wonderful! I told my sister, it's kinda sad that a new washer/dryer can make me so happy :) I'm definitely a stay-at-home mom! I still have lots of projects I want to do around the house. Can't wait to get them all done!
