Small details ideas, not our house

Dream book photos   Because we need to paint the exterior of the tubs upstairs and downstairs.  Cool brick patio. Imagine moss growing in the cracks Cool laundry room - could we do something cool like that in our butler pantry? Girls room, dual small sinks

Our Ringside painting from Bruce Mitchell now hung in place of safe lighting and prominence.  Our little upstairs nook. We can read there. No it's not Africa.  And when we're not housing, I'm making a Bat Mobile for my little gothlings. Purple and Red hot air balloon currently drying.  Someone completed their first year. Is walking, babbling, and giggling all day.  Someone else started first grade...  Did you wonder if I could find a post office? I always find post offices. This may be the making of a great road trip one day.  Sure - we have a couple of hours. Let's go to Mt. Rainier and ...
