Living Room

My sister wanted to see my living room as I try to decide what sort of coffee table/ottoman to get so here are a couple of pics. I'm leaning towards a large circular ottoman that's upholestered as the kids love to just plop down in the middle of the room. I'm enjoying my new sofa and TV, though I often have to kick the kids off my TV and send them downstairs. My friends and I had a chance to break them in for the Superbowl. So what do you think 'K'?

Summer Projects

The last 3 months have consisted of cold, short days often with bone chilling wind. When the sun did shine I loved opening the curtains and letting it stream in. However, just last week I saw my first robin and as the sun rises earlier every morning I'm starting to think about spring and summer. These days of being cooped up inside have also allowed me time to make my list of summer projects, because home remodeling is never really done! So here's my laundry list:

- scrape and paint the last 4 LARGE exterior windows
- swim in the river with the kids
- install last of the soffit vents
- have a beer
- refinish basement doors (6)
- go tanking with friends
- finish tiling back steps
- go waterskiing and fishing with the kids
- finish attic doorway
- have another beer or two

Seriously, did you think all I would do was work?
