Before and After...

We've been working any spare moment on fixing rotten fascia and eaves and also painting our house. We are mostly through- just a tiny bit of painting left! Here's the before...


And here's the after...
The pictures don't exactly show all of our hard work. Most of the replaced wood is on the chimney and that side of the house. It had been needed to be done since we moved in. Oh- Also, check out the chair my Dad made me for my bday! (It's on the porch of the after pic). Sweet!

Chairs

About 3 months ago I decided to re-upholster my dining room chairs. The fabric was a nice cream color, which does not agree with having a family of 7. I did one chair right away, but we've gone 2 months with that one chair done and the others looking like this:


So today, after some motivation from my hubby, I decided to finish my chairs!
It took a couple hours and now my hands are sore :(
BUT Yay! They're done, and I think they look great. Now I can start on something else :)
