This is Gracie and Allie's closet. This is after I just cleaned it! It's a disaster. No rod to hang the clothes on so they are perched precariously on the edge of the shelf and they fall off all of the time. We have lived in our house a whole year and have never finished the closets! I HATE clutter so one night I was in bed thinking "I could totally finish that closet. I have all the tools and I even have the wood. I'm DOING IT!"
























Part way through my project. I still needed to paint and hang rods.
























ALL DONE!!! Oh yeah, it feels good to look at what a girl can do when she puts her mind to it. Now we just need some cute bins and stuff to put things in.
























This one is next! Yup there is still painters tape along the back wall!

Wow Tammy! Where did you get your woodworking skills? I tried to make a simple bookcase and lets just say it is in the garbage can. You'll have to come down and help me.

Grandma's Tile Table

Grandma's Tile Table

Tile Table

When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
