Homeschool Monday - Hannah's new room

Well, this may be my last weekly post about homeschooling.  Because, let's face it, we teach and learn everyday, spring summer winter and fall.  And since Hannah has done fairly well this year (we haven't locked her in the closet, or sent her to military school, and that's a good thing) AND she has kept her bedroom mostly clean, she gets to re-decorate it this summer.  So I thought I would take a peek at what Pinterest has in the way of ideas for teen girl rooms.

 

 

She has already said she wants to do at least one wall in chalkboard paint.  (I'd enjoy that in my room too.  But Chuck?  Probably not so much, hahaha)

 

 

Here's a great use of space, but our ceilings aren't very high.  I did something like this when I was a teen, I just took 2 dressers and the laid my box spring and mattress over the top.  I hung a blanket too, so I had a great place for reading....

 

 

Here's a cool way to store your nail polish.

 

 

I better hide my vintage wooden hangers.

 

 

Isn't this swinging bed TOTALLY AWESOME??  I better hide this from her or she'll bat her eyelashes and put Daddy to work. hahaha

 

Ok, now it's time for me to get back to work.  Someone's got to pay for the new digs. :0)

 

Be blessed,

What color should I paint my front door?

Sorry I've been a bit MIA lately, but I'm trying to learn more about key phrases, tag words, SEO, blah blah blah...and I know that I need to get up the next to last chapter of YBC storytime "The Power of Love"...but I'm in the mood for some home improvements.  So this week I am taking a survey, what color should I paint my front door?  You can answer on the right, or leave me a comment if you have another idea.  Here is what the front of our boring house looks like right now...



I love the blue we painted our Adirondack chairs, should we carry that to our door?

Or how about the redwood to match the deck?  (That is the color our front light use to be, and will be again).

Chuck said we should keep it white...how boring! heehee

And Hannah suggested yellow, just because she likes to be difficult.

Now don't you be difficult, just vote (blue) and Chuck has agreed to abide by my readers choice.

Be blessed,

Debbi

back deck #2

Last week I talked about the changes going on with us now, most notably, making our back deck into a living room. Here's the blog post.  

Well, there was a day or two where the deck was empty except for a table and grill and bowmaster.  But since then, we decided to take out Brandon's bed, (he was tearing the new floor whenever he threw himself on the bed) and then Chuck decided to put some new flooring in our back hallway...so where did everything go?  Guess!

Ummm, my self-imposed 3 week deadline is not looking too good right now. hahaha

We still have the table and bowmaster and grill, but we also added a washer and dryer and a very large and heavy bed frame.  It was worse last night, I purchased (from our church's yard sale) a new/used wooden cupboard to use for our coats when we loose our mud room.  We got home last last night, we were tired and missing Survivor, so we just dumped it on the deck.  Right in front of the steps.  Chuck took it away before I took pictures.  hahaha.  And yes, that is a pumpkin still waiting to be canned.  Oh well....procrastination is part of my family heritage. :~D
