New Windows!

These windows are a dream come true for me. When we moved into our home over 8 years ago I wished I would have insisted on a kitchen full of windows. At times I've even wanted to remove all of my upper cabinets and have nothing but windows!!! My husband absolutely hated that idea but he was on board for the dining wall to be removed. The change is dramatic. I still have to find the right curtains and post the window completely painted and all but I just had to start sharing some of the things we've been up to around here...

Now, every morning when I come into the kitchen it is full of indirect sunlight and happiness!

Before After! (Look at Reagan being such a good big sister!)

Remember me?

If there is anyone out there reading this, I'm going to attempt a comeback with photos of before and afters even! I'm pretty sure I'm talking to myself but it doesn't feel so weird when I do it in a blog! :)

Trees in kid's rooms

In my daughter's room there is an access door to the attic in the ceiling. You know the kind you just push up on and climb in?

I've been brainstorming ideas to disguise it's akwardness in the room... I've thought about making it a frame, a magic trapdoor, adding trim to the whole ceiling so it blends in, etc.

Then, I started thinking it might look cute as the door to a treehouse. I could make a faux tree on the wall, complete with ladder steps to go up to the "treehouse".

Here are some pictures I've collected for inspiration :)
