You should come too!I just love a darkened house some days when I want things to seem extra quiet.
Don’t forget to visit.my most recent home tour.
if you’re feeling in need of some pretty pictures to look at after all of this old house messiness!OK, hear me out: I know you think it sounds crazy but you really.put your kids to work on your next DIY project, get great results AND even create some wonderful family memories too!Well, alright, the pictures of Baby Jack with a paint brush are a bit of a joke, but once kids are 3 or 4, they really can help you get more work done!.
Usually when we’re in the midst of a major renovation project plan A would be to ship the kids to Grammy’s or work while they’re at school.While that may be ideal most of the time, I’ve found big projects are filled with opportunities to create lasting family memories.
They may not grow up to be obsessive crafters or decorators or woodworkers but the memories will surely last a lifetime and inspire them throughout their lives.. Now, as promised in this week’s inspiration Fridays title, here are seven (safe enough to share) renovation moments to enjoy with the kids.
Remember, be safe!!!Here’s after I did the caulking and tape thing:.
Okay, I ripped a little of the paint off along with the tape.Easily fixable though when I go through and do my last few touch ups.. One last little revelation I had: When you’re laying down your bead of caulking, you want to move in the same direction as you’re squirting with your gun.
So that means that as you squirt a little out, you immediately smooth it over with the tip of the gun.It sounds counter-intuitive, but it really makes for a lot less waste and a lot less mess.
