I had the roof on my addition replaced this weekend.  Since I was up there checking it out I thought I’d show you a view from the roof.  One day this yard will look fabulous and the area to the left of the barn will be my garden and hopefully that will happen next spring!

Ceiling Trim – DONE!

Mudroom Sink Plumbing

I’ve been a bit stressed lately over everything that needs to get done on my addition.  I want to do all the finish work, well all that I “can” do.  I’ve decided to focus on one room at a time because back and forth doing pieces of projects never feels like there’s much progress being made.  Since I finished the tile floor in the mudroom, that’s where I’ll put my energy.  My theory is getting “a” room done will feel soooo much better.  My life hasn’t been settled since I moved in, so getting these extra rooms finished will be amazing!  I’ve finished the mudroom ceiling, put up the trim, filled and sanded the nail holes and painted!  I was also able to get up “one of 3” bead board panels on the back wall that will house my cabinets, mudroom sink & washer/dryer.  I’ve added another picture of how awesome the cuts came out using paint on the fixtures to mark the back of the paneling, you can still see the bright green paint.  The best trick ever and makes life soooo much easier! 😉

Wet Paint – My Closet

Transferred to back of bead board.

Hung bead board – Mudroom

My dear daughter 😉

When Amie & Matthew were up a couple weekends ago, they helped me put up bead board on my closet and mudroom ceilings.  Cutting holes for the light fixtures was a bit challenging but I remembered seeing on Pinterest that someone used lipstick around the fixtures to mark where to cut!!  So I thought, well wet paint will be even better!!  So I painted around the fixture holes and the paint transferred to the back of the paneling – loveeeeee!!!  The holes were perfect, seriously, wayyyy easier than trying to measure 50 bazillion times!  The bead board Amie is painting is for the walls in the mudroom.  The ceilings will be white and I hate that I didn’t get a pic of Matthew!  The pic with the pink wall is my closet 😉 and the hung bead board is on the ceiling in the mudroom (yellow walls).  😉

I’m ready for fall.  If you’re here in the area I bought that cute ceramic pumpkin at King Soopers.  I need to find a good “Welcome” mat.   Jason made that wood address sign for me when I moved in and Tara made the door wreath for me last year. Love!

I couldn’t fit in the grandkids’ tractor, I needed a mower for the lawn and I needed something to mow down 3ft weeds, soooooo I got my own!  Seriously, how can you have a little farmhouse and not have a John Deere!!  I bought it from my church – we had one sitting up at our Fort Lupton Campus that hadn’t been used in a few years.  This thing is a work horse – these pics are after the 3ft weeds came down and yes that’s dirt on my leg!  I love it!  It’s sooo much fun – yes, I crack myself up. LOL
