Sooo.. I have been awful ...Its be way way too long since my last post.. BUT with that comes soo many awesome fun things to blog about. Our family has grown by four paws! Her name is Freckles and she is a cute Dalmatian. Kaymans sister Kaysha named her. She is a big cuddle bug! She loves me soo much and I am soo happy I get to cuddle her everyday!
We BOUGHT A HOUSE!!! AWESOME- (I KNOW) lol And what is even more awesome is that we got a Sweet Native American loan only 2% down and no mortgage insurance . We worked our butts off! It was such a stressful ordeal... Im glad we bought a big enough house to grow into and we shouldn't outgrow for a very long time. 4 bedrooms 2.5 baths. ONE story with a pretty big back yard for our pups to run around.
Seriously BLOOD SWEAT LOTS OF SWEAT AND TEARS went into our home... We bought our home from a elderly couple who didnt not keep up with cleaning..... the dust and blah! nastiness everywhere.. I contemplated on hiring a cleaning crew.. but the amount of cleaning and strenuous scrubbing needed would of cost our first born. lol. Thank the Lord I have been born to goodly parents . Who spent HOURS helping fixing nail holes, dents, installing a doggie door, painting and cleaning. Cleaning the layers and layers of caked on grease on the kitchen cabinets. Even my sister and her little ones helped every way they could. The carpet in this place had a strange red cool-aid lookin stain in EVERY darn room. Also the master closet carpet had been drenched in cat pee... We ripped that up ASAP even before Kaymans generous parents bought us new fluffy CLEAN carpet. can you say blessing! Hallelujah! here is one of the projects :
Gold door knobs sooo dated! We bought some rustoluem oil rubbed bronze spray paint and went to town! Seriously it was a large task... we have a big house and buying all new door knobs was absolutley not a option. We spray painted all the hinges and closet door knobs we even spray painted the gold ring on the ceiling light fixtures in the hallways. IT made a HUGE difference. the spray paint is holding up well. we do have a few sratches here and there but overall it was completly worth the 2 cans of 8 dollar spray paint.
Here is another project that I think looks pretty darn good.
this is in our entry way and Kayman layed out where all the pictures went on the wall.. Sometimes he does things that suprises me and it shouldnt because his mom is so good at stuff like this. I am going to post some other new and improved projects that we have done over the next few days.
