New house mode :)

Today me and Mom went to Granbury to have both of our cars serviced. So we decided to make use of our time in G-town and scope out Home Depot and Lowes. We had a random assortment of DIY tasks that we wanted to check out for each of our homes (Mom's current and my future home of course). I am pretty sure we were just "checking" on some projects and I think we brought home almost everything that we looked for.

She got some stuff to help with the air conditioning at her house.
 I came home with cushions for my front porch furniture...

stuff to add a shower to my future bath tub...


and stuff to make a headboard out of a door :) yes we can thank pinterest for that last one!!

We we got home a package had arrived for me...
My brand new bedding... I was in DESPERATE need of a new one before I moved, but I decided to wait until I moved to get new bedding kind of a fresh start.

 So then I got home and started dreaming of my new headboard and getting all excited about my Sat project of putting together and painting it... then this brilliant idea hit me... why wait until Sat, when I can do it right now?!?

So I went outside and asked my step dad in the sweetest voice possible, "How hard is it to run the nail gun??" then he agreed to show me how to operate it and help me set up my work station...

This is what I started with... $17 door + $5 molding + $5 paint = one happy Paige :)

Then I whipped out the nail gun... my new favorite toy (I have already told Mom I would like power tool for Christmas... I know very girly huh??)



And here is how is progressed from there...



So projects like this are making me REALLY excited about my new adventure!!
