Home Renovations!

Well I finally got around to taking pictures of the exterior work we had done last fall. After living in this house since it was built in 1978 we decided it was time for new windows, siding and front doors. We also redid the back deck with Trex and Vinyl Railings (please excuse the mess in the side and backyards, it's been too rainy the last couple weeks to get things to the dump LOL)

We also had some interior work done over the last few weeks. I had the foyer, stairwell, upstairs hallway, living room and dining room repainted (The wall color is called "Great Green" and though the trim looks white it is actually a light shade of green called "Honeydew"). Those areas had not been painted in about 12 years and mom kept running into the hallway walls with her power chair causing several scrapes and holes. In order to keep the walls intact I had white wainscot installed on both sides of the hallway to protect them from her "wheels". You can also see some of the quilts I have made over the years mostly for my mom. She collects teddy bears so 2 of them are bear themed. The other wallhanging in the hallway was my Hoffman Challenge entry quite a few years ago. It was during the original Stack & Whack craze so I couldn't resist putting some S&W blocks into the wallhanging. It didn't win any awards or make it into an exhibit, but I entered and still have my pin to show for it :)
