Home Improvements...

Photobucket
These past several weeks Steve(and crew) have been busy doing home improvements. All the ceilings upstairs have been painted white, painted all our living space walls antique brown, painted our formal living room(fish tank room) burlap, covered our kitchen island with black panel, painted the trim on the top of the kitchen cabinets black, replaced our kitchen table, replaced our wood stair railing with black rod iron, and painted the garage. Steve went as far as two-toning and put in a small stereo system in the garage. Of course I had to tease him about this and his excuse was that he spends a lot of time out there(which is true.)

I guess the plan is to also paint the fish tank black...

Of course Maddy had to get in on the action...

Wow Steph! It all turned out fantastic!!! Everytime you post a picture of your garage I'm amazed that there are actually people out there who can park their cars in their garages. I need someone to teach my husband that!
