Sand Point

Every summer we go to Sand Point in Munising. It has become a tradition of sorts, I guess. It's one of my favorite Yooper beaches. You almost feel like you're on an island. The sand is fine, the water is bright, and the sand bar goes out a long ways. I could lay there all day. Actually...I have.

Metal Art

I love metal art. So does my mom. She has a really great garden center near her that sells great metal art for super cheap. She picked me up some for the whole house...

Life Is Short...Live Colorful!

Well, another house project done and this was is a biggie. We got the outside doors and shutters painted and I'm very excited about it. I'll admit I had a little regretful moment with the blue color. It is very bright, especially when it's sunny. I tried to capture that in the pictures but I don't think I did a very good job. We have a side porch but didn't get to paint that yet. Anyways, here's the before...



And here's the after...





This is actually the first time I've seen the before and after pictures together. Yay!!!! I'm enjoying the freedom to do what we, want when we want. Sometimes, in the midst of the work, there are some WTF moments. Then it's done and it feels so good! What's next? Hmmm.... I'd have to say probably the side porch and the kitchen. Stay tuned!

New Trees, Please!

Every year I treat myself to a little something at Art on the Rocks or The Outback. This year, I decided to walk down to The Outback by myself. I was walking through rather quickly. Nothing was catching my eye and I was almost at the end when I came across these beauties and had to have them! They are metal with copper flecks.



I immediately thought of my bedroom and I was right! They look great. I'm so happy to finally have a bedroom and not just a junk room with bed in it. I could hide out there every day after work if I didn't have family depending on me to get stuff done!!!!
