The Makings of a Porch

The cement for the porches has been poured today.
It made them look much larger.

One of the back porches.

And the other one.

This girl is getting excited!

Okay, now I'm looking for a porch swing.

Pantry Ideas From Pinterest

Here are some Pinterest pantry ideas.

From houzz.com

I like the doors, the light, and, of course, the leaded glass transom window!

These doors are pretty interesting, too.

From downtoearthstyle.blogspot.com

I like this door the best!  

What do you think?

From fortheloveofahouse.blogspot.com

I love the idea of a little bit of art work in the pantry.

From re-nest.com

I think the lights in this picture are pretty cool.

From marthastewart.com

Martha always has the greatest ideas for storage.

From womansday.com

This is my dream pantry, right here!

From everyday-lovely.blogspot.com

But I am drawn to this yellow one, too!

I think it might be the baskets.

Lots of ideas!

Our Front Door - July

Happy Independence Day!!

I posted a video on my other blog, www.justrestingup.wordpress.com

Saturday in the Park by Chicago.

I love that song.

Here is what our front door looks like this month.

Just a star with a small flag draped through it.

Simple.

This is a picture of the whole doorstep.

Have a great day.

Window Shipment is Here

Now we are getting somewhere!!

The windows and the front door have arrived. 

We ordered them from Lansing Building Products, they were the only company that had the transom that I wanted for the front door.
And I must tell you, it is awesome.

There are triple windows, double windows with transoms, and I think every window is a different size.

Some of these windows are very heavy.

But don't worry, I was out there to supervise!

Before long they will be installed and you will be the first to know!

We Have a Garage

So far this week we have a garage added on to the rest of the house.

I don't think that I have mentioned who our builder is, his name is JR Cabra.

He and his crew are doing a great job.

Big Ran is not around today and wanted me to post some pictures of it, so here they are.

This picture was taken from inside the garage.

This is the hallway, half bath, mudroom, laundryroom, and pantry.

This is getting pretty exciting for me!!

Master Bedroom Headboard

I have ordered my master bedroom headboard.

I found it at www.hautelook.com.

Here is what it looks like.

 

I was going to try to do a DIY headboard from scratch.

But I don't think I could have beat this price!

Do you like it???

I sure hope I like it when it comes in.
