Fireplace RE-DO

Here is the finished product for the basement fireplace in our spec house. I LOVE how it turned out. In person the tile surround is soooo beautiful. The copper pieces are actually copper plated, and have an amazing shimmer in real life.

The rainbow arch from BEFORE, and the dark wood paneling.

We used the existing hearth, but tore down the brick arch, added the new white panels, and created a new tile surround. We also retrofitted the wall beneath with power, cable, and supports, to hang a flat screen TV.

Now we just need a buyer!

Viva Mexico

Just a few pictures from our cruise to Mexico with Bryan's company.


It's a good thing we got back when we did because Cozumel is about to get blasted by a hurricane.




It was really fun to get to spend more time with the people Bryan works with. Since he works remotely, we don't get to see these people very often. There are some REALLY great people that work at his company.


Thanks Sourcecorp!!!

Happy Halloween

I finally cleared off the huge pile of Halloween decorations off my dining room table, and put them together around the house.


The old window came out of the house my in-laws are redoing in Fairfield Idaho.
















Quinny LOVES Halloween (and actually any other holiday), and all the decorations that go along with it, so I would never get away with not putting up the decorations.

The only "new" stuff I bought this year came from either Dollar Tree, or D.I. What can I say? I'm a cheapskate.

Happy Halloween!
