Wish List Wednesday - Vintage Tin & Metal

Finally...a new "Wish List"! I always find that i am drawn to vintage tin / metal boxes, trays, signs, etc. Maybe it is the faded paint and rust that i love so much about each piece...it gives them a wonderful history. In fact in making this list i bought a metal sign and cabinet from bellalulu! I hope you enjoy!

Yippee...both kids are now in school!

I am so excited to say that both of my kids are now in school!



My daughter is in the second grade.



My son is in kindergarten.



I have long been waiting for the day when I could have the day ALL to myself! Now the question is, what do I do with myself? Well let's see here...there is always endless projects, not to mention all of the daily chores that need done. I plan to redo both of the kids rooms as well as mine, new paint, bedding, curtains, art and closet organizers. Oh goodness...I don't know where to start! After I get all of the rooms upstairs done, it will be time to tackle the basement. That will be a BIG project, as we have had LOTS of rain lately and on Friday it flooded the guest room! It was really a surreal moment when you walk downstairs and find what looks like a bath tub faucet turned on pouring from the window into the room. It took two shop vacs and the carpet shampooer to get the water under control. We ended up just going ahead and ripping out the carpet in the guest room that night, but we still need to scrap the pad up. I had planned to rip up all of the carpet in the basement eventually and just paint the floors and throw down some rugs, it will just have to happen a little sooner than I had planned. Well...I'd better go get to work now. Oh yeah...I do still have one helper at home, Indy.
