Are we there yet?

  • How about a little history.
    I started this blog in 2003. It was to be all about our experience in house building. It's been an amazing journey. Sometimes I look around and I can't believe we acutally built this house and when I say we I mean we. Myself, my husband, his cousin Russ, our Dads and assorted friends and other relatives. We did hire a contractor to pour our foundation and we had a horrible experience with some drywallers but otherwise it was all us. We have been in the house now for one year. There are still a lot of details to finish up. I have some guilt about not posting house projects since I am a member of a house blog ring but there is a lot of valuable information on house building here so while my posts are more about living in our dream house you can still search my archives for posts on every aspect of house building. So? Are we there yet? Nearly. We still need doors and trim inside.......some flooring and tiling needs to be done so stay tuned-we'll get there.

Decorating Switch Plates

I saw some really cool switch plates at the store the other day. They ranged from $12 to $32!  I just can't justify that price so I decided to make some of my boring old switch plates exciting.

Switch_plate_1 My kitchen has a chicken theme so I picked a fabric with chickens on it and put it on the switch plates with mod podge.  Mod Podge is wonderfull stuff.

They turned out really cute. You can see my step by step instructions here  at Refurber

Switch_plate_finished_2The colors match the other chickeny things in the kitchen and look like tiny bits of art.
