Facebook Memories

My wife posted a picture from her memory feed the other day that I had forgotten about. This is my daughter dressed up in a Dinosaur costume that she wore around the house until the thing fell apart one year. She is 4 in this picture I think. This one picture totally made my day yesterday! I'm still opposed to Facebook and what it stands for, but if I don't end up deleting my account, I'll decrease my Friends list to just immediate family and close friends (all people I see regularly in real life).

Upcycling

We had an old dresser in the garage that I had desperately wanted to throw away. My wife refused and said she wanted to make something she saw on Pinterest. I hounded her for weeks until she finally got around to doing it because if I didn't, I'd be posting about it this time next year about the dresser that wasn't thrown away. As you can see, she did an awesome job turning it into a backpack nook and shoe repository (so I'm not tripping over them when I walk in). Good example of an upcycle.

Before, in all its tan and wood chair rail glory. Note that the room where you'de expect chair rail to be, the Dining Room, is strangely absent of chair rail.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1447" align="alignnone" width="360"] livingroom_after

After (ignore the Dining Room)[/caption]

Again, my wife, the powerhouse she is, has transformed our Living Room in our new house. It was absolutely horrible when we first moved in (before) and now is something that I enjoy walking into every day (after). I was done with tan/brown/red/orange color schemes and wanted to go with more of a white/grey/blue color scheme. The walls are light grey and the back wall is a dark blue. A blue as close to the Dr. Who TARDIS blue that I could find at Lowes. I think it was a good choice. We still have the Dining Room (background) and the Kitchen to complete.
