Snow!

On one of the few snowy days we had in February, Jim went outside and snapped these pictures.

The Snowball Bush

The Pine Tree in the back that Jim wants to one day run electricity out to so we can decorate it for Christmas.

Carpeting!

The nursery, stairs, and upstairs hallway were carpeted just before Christmas.  The Guest Room's carpet wasn't ready until just before the new year.
But, before the carpeting could be installed on the stairs, the old carpeting had to be torn out...

Looking Up

Mmmm....mint green and salmon pink

 Ahhh!  Much better!

What a difference!

It is really coming along nicely.

It doesn't look like the same upstairs anymore!

 We used some leftover Pergo flooring from my Craft Room

With the trim added

Nursery

As soon as the carpet installers left, I went upstairs and rolled on the nursery floor.  LOL!

It's About Time for an Update!

I'm finally able to update!  Yea!  I apologize for taking so long.  Jim has been working on a post about his newel posts, but he is taking forever with it, so I'm going to go ahead and post some pictures of the installation.  

The Shoe Rail

1/2 Newel Post Up with 1 Side of Balustrade

Coming Along

We don't have blueprints for the house; so instead, we placed a blue note and a 2011 nickel in the newel post.

Almost Finished!

Looking Good!

Happy Birthday to me!

The upstairs hallway is probably starting to look more like it used to prior to the 1960's.

Jim will hopefully finish his post about the installation one of these days.
