DIY

I wish I had before pictures of our TV cabinet, but I guess you can't have it all. This used to be my grandma's, and although I love most of her old stuff this thing was an ugly brown mess. Actually I just realized if you look on my side bar at the picture of killer and his duck, the cabinet makes a cameo. It was that brown. For the longest time I've been wanting to get a new one, but there is something so satisfying about DIY that Matt and I just decided to go for it. All we did was paint, sand, stress and slather it with polycrylic. The pics I've posted don't really show the stressing as well as I'd like but you get the gist...


This is an up close of the sanding on the door. Matt doesn't really know it but, as far as I'm concerned it's not actually done...I want to get some cool knobs for the doors. I saw some beautiful antique knobs on the Anthropologie site but they were a tad pricey...I'll have to settle for a hardware store lol.

Here is a pic of it in the living room. I know, I know that side of the room is screaming for some end tables or something, that's one of my next projects/hunts.

....And if you didn't notice, killer boy is starved for attention. I couldn't get one picture without him in it.

On a side note how crazy/wonderful has the weather been here in good ol' UT? Fall is my VERY favorite season so last week for me was GLORIOUS! look at this absolutely stunning picture I got last week....
I just love how those leaves look like they're on fire.

And then this morning I got to walk around in this...

Lucky for me I love me some snow....I predict snowboarding in Matt's and my future sooner than we thought there would be!

I Hope everyone had an AWESOME Halloween!! We threw a Crow (little) kids Halloween party, and it was so much fun. As soon as I get more pics from my in-laws I'll post about it. The kids had a great time and the adults had some surprisingly awesome costumes that I can't wait to share.

I'll sign off with a pic of my three boys....you heard right.three. We have been taking care of my sister-in-law's dog Bruce (or "Brucey Kadoocey" as we like to call him) for a while, while her hubby is deployed in Iraq, but after seeing how well Killer and Bruce have bonded it was decided we would keep Bruce permanently! He is such a good, sweet little dog and he and killer are the BEST of friends. Thanks Bink and Mark (just so you know Matt and I are uncle and auntie, you guys will always mom and dad ;) )I love my boys...
