Well, I don't know how boring this is becoming for everyone reading, but this is about the extent of my excitement lately... Home Improvement! This weekend was pretty productive. On Saturday Matt and I continued the never-ending painting. (Note the picture to the right entitled "Defying Gravity" on which Matt attempts to paint the ceiling in the stairwell without making me a widow...) 
We also continued the yellow into the kitchen. (We need Mike B to come back to STL to help us re-trim the breakfast room!)On Sunday, Matt had to work, so my dad offered to come out and help me knock out a couple projects... First objective was hanging a quilt that my great-grandmother made over 40 years ago. I learned from this project that we need to ha
ve a simulator house. Things always go smoother the second time around... However, the quilt is now up and while very yellow, it is very cool.
Lastly, I would like to say... If you were ever thinking of purchasing a power washer- DO IT! My dad borrowed my brother's and did the back patio... I couldn't believe what a difference pressurized water could make. We still have some stains to tackle, but I want him to bring it back so that we can do the rest of the house... See the difference? The concrete on the left has been washed, if you can't tell... And just remember... We will feed and hydrate (or dehydrate with alcohol- whichever you prefer) anyone that wants to come over and help!

wow the house is looking great!
I love the quilt. I wish I had some of my grandma's things around my house. But with the 2 little ones I think it would have to wait a little before things would come out!!! House looks awesome! Keep it up. Wow when your done painting your house maybe you can come visit and help me add some color to mine. Plain white is driving me crazy.
