Check out our very own coffee/tea station!  

That's grandma's shelf but I did paint it mom!  Eek. Don't be mad!

Glad everyone is ok in Maine today!  Earthquake. Crazy. Here in SD, it's just plain dry. It has made it a beautiful fall though!  Check out the deep red on our maple in the back. 

Still painting the retro gals. I have 5 done but this one is my fave. 

Lots of house projects to work on this week, I'll post the latest when complete! Stay safe!

Ok, so before with new lath on risers and after with new wood on treads!  

Wow, nice crooked shot. I'm staired out. Its not perfect by any means but I love the new look!

Bah-bam!  Lath stained a variety of colors and nailed in!  I really really like it!  I need to touch up white treads but can't decide if I should stick with white or switch it to something else. Thoughts on everything please!

Pinterest has a bevy of recipes for gluten free stuff and in the crockpot no less!  I'm addicted to my crockpot. Here's the latest, GF lasagna. It was a.a.h.-m.a.z.i.n.g.  

Gonna try crockpot GF banana bread this week too!  
I'll be starting a staircase project tomorrow. It involves the back riser portion but that's all the info I'm releasing at this time. Hah!. Found a photo of a staircase with the right side railing and spindles removed. I want to do this so badly!  Why won't anyone agree with me!?  It's more modern looking!

FYI, I'm not painting, stenciling or wallpapering my risers either. But the pic of these are cute too!  I'll keep you posted on mine, hoping it won't take too long or hurt my back too badly either!

Ok, here's Finn. Favorite cartoon character of many, but especially Burke. 

Here's Burke with his new winter hat. And yes, he wears it to school. 

Bet if I tried to get him to wear that a few years ago he would have died!  Kids are strange creatures.
