A Fun Weekend

Last Thursday night, I went to the TCU Volleyball game, where they played No. 25 Colorado State. And WON! It was a blast - the Frogs won in 3 in front of a record crowd of 1,850. Fellow alums Ally, Tori, and Little Miss Sami met me at the game.



Then Jay agreed to paint some festive mini pumpkins for Halloween. I did Harry Potter and Frankenstein (which is hard to see because it's so dark). Jay did a TCU Football one and Hobbes (from his favorite cartoon Calvin & Hobbes).







I hope everyone has a fun Halloween! This will be our first one in a house, so we are excited to hand out candy to all the little Trick or Treaters!

On A Roll...

Our kitchen walls are officially finished! Here are a few pictures of the process...
1. Tearing off wallpaper
2. Texturing walls
3. Priming
4. Painting!


BEFORE: ugly yellow wallpaper


Wallpaper gone!




Walls have been textured, ready for paint!


This is what you call "Hazy Sage." Hooray we're done!

Gross.

My husband decided to grow a beard for a few weeks. I think it was just so he could do THIS on his way to shaving it all off.
Does this picture creep anyone else out?
(For the record, the bottom picture is what normal looks like...)

Guest Bathroom Makeover

I am ashamed to say I never took any "before" pictures of the room, but just imagine bright blue sponge-painted walls, a chipped 1980's seashell sink, and yeehaw western rope towel bars. This is the first room we have officially finished, and I'm rather proud of our effort =)

We managed to:
-Remove the old countertop and install a new one
-Add a new faucet
-Texture and paint the walls
-Replace all of the hardware (towel bars, toilet paper holder, etc.)

We decided to go with charcoal gray for the walls, so nothing too girly for Jay! I think the end result is MILES from where we started!
