What's Been Keeping Us Busy?

A lot of projects here at the homefront have been keeping us tied up lately. Here are some photos of our projects:

{John changed our main level flooring from carpet to nice cherry laminate hard wood that matches the kitchen cabinets nicely.}

{Before:}

{After:}

{Our kitchen BEFORE:}

{Our kitchen AFTER: (with our home teacher helping John install the sink & dishwasher and John's work buddy helping to install all the cabinets. We still need to also paint and finish grouting the back splash and install new lighting before it's officially DONE! I love my kitchen.)}

{John stained the stair railings to match the flooring.}

{The stair railing BEFORE:}

{The stair railing AFTER:}

{Our family name sign that I started some time ago at a Relief Society activity & finally finished up at home:}

{Transferred my recipes from loose papers & saved computer documents to recipe cards that will be added to an album very soon:}

{I needed to find a storage solution for my many project templates (lots & lots of patterns). Here they are now neatly displayed in page protectors in this cute binder:}

{This is my current project: Thousands, and I do mean thousands, of photos to go through and decide which get displayed in picture albums and which stay stored in photo boxes. Could all of these projects of mine be the starting of my nesting process? or possibly is it because I want to get everything finally organized now before I won't have ANY time to do so in, oh I don't know, years from now? I suppose maybe a little bit of both. LOL}

More projects to come. Stay tuned!
