:: firsts and lasts, before & after ::

Last week was a whirlwind of last days at the lake...

First day of school (and new dayhome for H, he loved it....especially all the trucks he got to play with!)

First home haircut. My technique? High chair outside. Keep making little mohawks all over their head and snipping off the tips. iPhones make perfect entertainment for this :)

And, most exciting of all, finishing up my very first furniture painting project, a $20 armoire from Kijiji that we painted with a mistint gray/blue shade I bought ages ago. I am so happy with how it turned out and how nicely adds interest to our otherwise blah bedroom. It has me inspired to get going on our upholstered headboard too. Thanks for all the comments on my previous post - I have lots of inspiration for the rest of the project now. I have the best readers!
