Jessica's Hallway Makeover

Hope everyone has had a wonderful week! I was sick in bed for most of it (ugh), but thankfully on the mend now.

With the new year here, I am ready for a fresh start! I have been organizing and throwing things out like crazy. Even completing projects I started but never finished.

One of those was my upstairs hallway.

(before)

When our Grandma passed away I received this beautiful oak hallway table that had belonged to her. It has beautiful detail and great meaning so I wanted to make it special and display it in my home.

I got my husband to paint it white to match our overall style.

It turned out gorgeous and I'm so happy with it! I will treasure it always.

The next step was working with this big blank wall.

I knew I wanted stripes so my hubby got out the paint (again).
Have I mentioned he is amazing and an awesome painter?! Ha! Love you, Dan!

Painting in the PJ's (only way to do it!)

And here is what it looked like the next day!

Ta Da! I love the way it turned out!

Next Step will be putting a gallery wall together.  Here are some of the pieces I will be using.

What have you all been working on? Any fun house projects? Let us know in the comments below!

Love ~ Jess

The Holidays

Happy New Year Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season! We spent ours surrounded by family and friends, the very best way.

On December 2nd in the afternoon, our Grandma went to be with Jesus. She was so special to all of us! She loved her family so much & we felt the same way about her. Words cannot express how much we miss her, but we are thankful she is not suffering any more.

With that being said, this Holiday season was a little different. We had been excited to post a Christmas blog with a lot of great pictures, but that wasn't the way things went this year. It was more of a day with family and we wouldn't have it any other way.

We did take a few cell phone photos, so here's a look into our homes...

We truly hope all of our friends had a great Holiday & a HAPPY New Year!

I think one of our 'resolutions' for 2014 should be to keep this blog updated, Ha! What do you think?
