Resurrection of the fence!

It doesn't happen often anymore, but we spent the weekend working on a project and got our old wrought iron fence installed.   Now it just needs a fresh coat of paint and a few flowers planted around it to finish it off.
We didn't have access to a welder that was powerful enough to weld it that would run off of 110 power, so we assembled it off site.  It was a bit of a process to haul a 24' long fence home in the back of an 18' dump truck.  

Since We Moved In

We have been living in the house for 5 months now, and have finally gotten around to doing a little decorating....also,  I wasn't happy with our master bedroom color so I repainted it.  We've had a chance to set up our guest room and threw our first party in the house....a goodbye party for our friends Chad and Ashley.  Here are a few pics.....

In April PJ built these bookshelves in our front room using iron plumbing pipe and birch plywood

This is what they look like finished

We are going to build identical ones on either side of the fireplace, but we just haven't gotten them done yet.

I added some wall decor to our entry way, with vintage family photos mixed in.

Our first party in the house....Chad's Birthday / Chad & Ashlee's going away party

We hung a pinata in the yard.....that was pretty fun!

Chad got his very own "I blame PJ" shirt.....(long story!)

The backyard and garage are still looking a bit rough, to say the least!  I added a couple raised beds made out of edgers I found in the garage.....every plant but the tomatoes died though!  Next year I will do more with the yard!

I added some empty frames to the living room walls.....

Loving how this person decorated 

I like the idea of putting an old frame around the flat screen tv

Dogs are loving the house.....they make keeping it clean a challenge, however, especially in Summer when they shed!

The Dogs are enjoying their first bath in the clawfoot tub!!!

This is the Guest Room / Front Bedroom.....I like how it turned out

Guest Room

This is what the color of the Master Bedroom walls.....I wasn't happy with it though....felt a bit dingy.  

I painted the armoire a pink color called Desert Rose!

I mixed some leftover paint from the kitchen, Library room and Guest room together to get this gray color for the walls of the Master Bedroom.....it turned out a bit darker than I anticipated but we already had the paint, so it was nice to put it to use.  

These are some paintings I made for the East wall of the master bedroom
