Waking up Laughing: Guest Room
http://rsmith829.blogspot.com/2012/05/guest-room.html
Sunday, May 20, 2012. The guest room the day I moved in. I picked the color "bell tower stone" by Valspar in Sherwin Williams paint. I love the color. It's rich but not too dark and the yellow really stands out nicely against it. I lived without a matching comforter for awhile. I found this duvet color set from West Elm. I almost love it more than my master bedroom! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm Rachel. I'm a wannabe DIY expert and photographer. I bought my first house in 2011 and have ...The i...

Waking up Laughing: Old Door Entryway Bench
http://rsmith829.blogspot.com/2012/04/old-door-entryway-bench.html
Sunday, April 1, 2012. Old Door Entryway Bench. The curtain rod on the back. I don't have a curtain on there now. I've thought about having a farm picture printed out and applying it to the back to show through the windows. The front after priming. First coat of paint. The very boring entry way before. The new and improved entryway. Mr Pig would like to welcome you! The last few weeks have been full of crossing projects off of the to do list. Can't wait to show some before and after pictures!

Waking up Laughing: July 2012
http://rsmith829.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 23, 2012. I’m not really sure where the time goes anymore! I can’t believe we’re looking at the end of July on the calendar already. I figured I would pop in with a summer update since I’m so good about keeping this updated. Does anyone even read this? I feel like this summer has been one of the best in more recent years. The native Minnesohtans can’t stop complaining about how hot it is, but for me it feels like the first real summer since I moved here three years ago! Next up – I spe...

Waking up Laughing: January 2011
http://rsmith829.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 6, 2011. Hopefully I don't lose my fingernail, but I'm not holding my breath. If I had someone to take a picture I would show my normal finger with the swelled one because it doesn't look that bad here but holding it up to the regular finger makes it look huge! Sunday, January 2, 2011. Happy New Year everyone! Another year has came and went, and I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for me! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Waking up Laughing: February 2012
http://rsmith829.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. The last few of weeks have been one big roller coaster full of emotion. Ace's mom passed away on February 3 and my brother got married on February 8. I started, stopped, and restarted this blog post several times. I even thought about just skipping over it and instead writing a post about something I've worked on in the house recently. But I think I should write something about the last few weeks. The visitation and funeral were a true testament to how loved and missed she i...

Waking up Laughing: The Dining Room
http://rsmith829.blogspot.com/2012/05/dining-room.html
Tuesday, May 1, 2012. The top color is Province Blue by Benjamin Moore and the bottom color is Tempered Allspice by Valspar. Mom painted this room in one afternoon. She is the lady to call if you have some painting to do! We then successfully hung a new shelf from Ikea. PS - I'm a real pro when it comes to power tools :) The plan was to use the shelf to make a picture gallery wall. The room is much “fresher” now and is not at all dark. It flows much better with the other rooms as well. Hey, What's new?

Waking up Laughing: July 2011
http://rsmith829.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 1, 2011. Well it’s pretty much official: I’m buying a house! Yep, that’s right; I’m taking a huge step into adulthood. To be quite honest, it’s a really scary step! My lease is not up until the end of August, so I don’t close on the house until mid August. Then comes all the fun of painting, moving, and whatever else comes with owning a home. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Pork, knife and spoon. My Papa’s Pizza. Hey, What's new?

Waking up Laughing: June 2011
http://rsmith829.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Finally I can post without complaining about snow! Arrived in southern Minnesota. We had some hot days last week which caused an all out panic up here. I believe these weirdos would rather have a foot of snow on the ground than it be over 85 degrees. Don't get me wrong, it was hot, but it could have been so much hotter with a lot more humidity. I thought it was wonderful! Other than living my life as a gypsy traveler, life has been pretty much the same. I play kickball on Thur...

Waking up Laughing: August 2011
http://rsmith829.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 25, 2011. Moving moving and more moving. The past two weeks has been all about boxes, moving, car loads, cleaning supplies, and more boxes. There is nothing fun about moving. It's a huge pain. What made this move worse was that it was just across town. There was no incentive to have to really plan or organize how I packed. I just started throwing things in boxes and packing my car. What a mess! I'll post some pictures of the new place once I get a little more settled. Hey, What's new?
