House Progress...

It's been almost a year since I gave a little peek into our recent "house progress" on my blog. It's been a slow go, but we're getting there. With Pat working pretty steady this past year we've been blessed with the funds to complete more "finish" work and added cabinets to our laundry/mud room.

Love progress and checking off my "to do" list. And this week carpet, tra-laaa !!!! More updates to come after the carpet goes in this week, until then here's a few pics of our progress.

Fireplace mantel, rustic alder, high profile, either a gas insert or a pellet-stove zero clearance to be added later. Mantel crafted by our cabinet maker.

Wood trim around windows and interior wall.

Laundry/mud room.

Of course a few fun items to add to the decor,

Fun door panel from "Real Deals".

Made fun burlap pumpkins for Fall, white burlap with vintage lace ruffle.

Another version with brown burlap and tulle ruffle.

Planted new trees this past Spring, "Autumn Blaze" maples, and we had color this Fall.



Helena MT

Spending the week in Helena MT with my hubby. Enjoying the mild weather, but wait...it's going to change tonight! Big winter blast heading our way, snow and more snow....should be interesting traveling home tomorrow night. Thank goodness we have 4-wheel drive, it will be a winter wonderland around here soon.

I had the pleasure of walking the "Gulch" district area yesterday, the old down town of Helena, fun shops and eateries. Beautiful Fall day. The Gulch area use to be the mining district back in the day, lots of gold and silver in them there hills! LOL

Helena is a flat valley surrounded by beautiful mountains, the sun rise and sun sets have been gorgeous this week.

Today is very difficult day for most of us who voted for change and won't get it now. Trying to find joy in all this madness, but I still have hope and continue to trust in God.
