Re: Blog Tuesday!
Construction finally started back up on our house. Our kitchen is finally being finished (new floor, cabinet, countertop, backsplash), our pantry and broom closet ripped out and redone and our hall bathroom gutted and redone.
Between Friday-Sunday, our broom closet and pantry were torn apart, our three layers of kitchen floors removed and our bathroom gutted. The bonus... our new washer and dryer arrived :-)

We have been diy for the last 3 years on the house, but we now have a contractor doing the work. It would take us at least a month to do what he did in 3 days.
I put up some convex mirrors over our bed. I went with DH's spacing though and now second guessing myself b/c the wall is so big.
I'm still debating trying to do some sort of wall treatment on it though.

Love the convex mirrors! (I just did a DIY project SO similar but haven't posted it yet). This week, I've been busy with family (mom's pathology was good news - stage I with no spread to lymph nodes! Yay!). I've been featuring other bloggers. Here are a few:

I made this DIY last week and loved the result, only $2.50 for prettify a tray! see post here.
Roeshel, so happy to hear the awesome news!
I just finished Week 4 of our sunroom remodel. Last week I built a console table and painted a mirror,
Hung some new art, added a few more accessories and made a spring wreath:
My wife just posted about her favorite apps including a couple good mommy apps.

I think this is great, but maybe add a frame made out of molding a foot or more out from each direction.

What I really want to do is stencil that entire wall. I may just take off a couple days from work and do it.
