A GREAT start....

So 2008 is off to a great start.... a year of new beginnings.

Zach has started his classes at TWU and is ready to get a plan in place to complete this degree. He got his official acceptance letter on Thursday after he had already been in classes for 4 days. We are thrilled... it's a letter that should be framed, but we'll just wait to frame the diploma. ;-)

We have finished two of the projects mentioned in the earlier post and we are only 19 days into the new year....

First off, the guest bathroom....

Here is the original bathroom when we bought the house...


And now what a difference lots of paint and love do....
I really love the tile that Zach used and eventually we will tile the floor in the bathroom using the same stuff. It looks very clean and modern... love it. ;-)The dresser....

This is the dresser in its original form. Zach bought it at CCA (Christian Community Action) for a good deal. I didn't want the dresser at all, but since he had already bought it I decided to make a project of it. If I was gonna have it in my house, it wasn't going to look like this, so.....
These are the hammer holes in the drawer... I don't know what the owner was trying to do, but they really messed it up.
So we filled the holes, primed, painted and replaced the knobs, and now here's what we have....
I'm pleased with it now and I'm very glad that Zach now has a place for his clothes. They have been in plastic drawers in the closet. Now our closet is less cluttered and we have lots more space. It's wonderful.

Hope you enjoy the progress... it's amazing how far our house has come in only 6 months of ownership.
