Don't forget to turn off the power to those areas before you start installing the fans. <br /><br />I want to do curtains but John is undecided so for now, we'll wait. Do post pictures when you are done with your projects. I love seeing pictures of DIY projects :-).Printed Bonnet by AyoBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105898198352987778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483556804029291779.post-77654009335851830992014-01-21T19:47:48.705-05:002014-01-21T19:47:48.705-05:00Looks great Joy.

And also cutting the glass tiles. That required measuring and cutting for the specific space. <br />I would absolutely do it again. Watch some YouTube videos. You'd be amazed as to how "easy" it is. Although, if you can find childcare for Ronan during that time, I highly encourage it. It was a bit of a pain wearing JOE when she wouldn't sit still. Home girl, is not exactly a light weight :-).Printed Bonnet by AyoBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105898198352987778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483556804029291779.post-24429317441079900772014-01-21T11:34:40.277-05:002014-01-21T11:34:40.277-05:00:-).

I think we'll do more painting around the house though before we tackle the fireplace.<br /><br />It sure has been tougher than we anticipated finding a nanny but I am sure the right person will come along. Thanks for the positive thoughts. <br /><br />Will do! You do the same. Get some extra snuggle time with your babies! I have to telework but at least I am at home and hubby is with JOE.Printed Bonnet by AyoBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105898198352987778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483556804029291779.post-53896038516626221612014-01-21T11:32:30.247-05:002014-01-21T11:32:30.247-05:00:-).

Glad I didn't go with all black. I would have hated it. <br /><br />We haven't always been very handy. I am more the DIY person. I am slowly but surely getting hubby comfortable with it. When in doubt, we Google it and then watch YouTube videos. It is awesome! I think I gain my confidence of doing this stuff from watching the videos online. <br /><br />Thank you! I believe God will send us the right person. <br /><br />Happy Snow day to you as well. Hope you are enjoying some extra snuggle time with your hubby and baby!Printed Bonnet by AyoBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105898198352987778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483556804029291779.post-12740624624444791252014-01-21T11:24:01.795-05:002014-01-21T11:24:01.795-05:00Thank you! :-).

I can't blame anyone else but me. <br />So far though, its all been stuff I like.Printed Bonnet by AyoBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105898198352987778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483556804029291779.post-26687680224270330422014-01-21T10:57:00.638-05:002014-01-21T10:57:00.638-05:00the backsplash looks great!

Great color choice as it goes so well with the rest of the kitchen. Do you want to come do my back splash pretty please :).<br /><br />That nanny search is so tough.
