Hall Project...

Is 1/2 way done! I decided to take a break from editing this past weekends wedding to work on the hall project. I am really happy with the outcome, but my oh my it turned into a costly project, so the rest is on hold :-). Luckily I only have 2 walls left. Here is some photos so far....

Hello there....

Well, hello there blog family. I'm sorry for my non blogging these days. Lots of things have been going on, I just haven't taken the time to actually sit down, download photos and blog. I will do better I promise :-).

Well, now that I think about it, not a lot has been going on really. Brant and I decided to seriously clean and straighten the house up while painting at the same time, so today I'm sharing the rooms we've painted. We LOVE them and are very happy with the out come. My next project is the hall project which I hope to start this weekend after shooting a wedding Saturday....I can't wait!

This is the Computer room, we decided to do a brown accent wall, although Brant does want to paint the other walls, we'll see how that goes :-). This color looks sooo good in person and it matches everything in the room so far.
















This is the start of the hall way, we were skeptical about the color, but it actually turned out very nice. I wanted a smokey grey, but this is actually a blue/grey color -- I think it's going to look great with the project I have in store for the hall....I'm so excited to start it, I hope it turns out ok! The color isn't as dark as it seems in the pictures....

Long Lost Post

Well, I know I haven't been blogging as much as I should be, so much has been going on, that's probably why! :-). I don't want this to be a super long blog, so I will share photos of what's been going on....

Christmas was awesome! First we had Christmas with my moms side:

The Rudasill Family


Dad, Tyler, Shawn and Josh


Tink, Brant, me, Lynn and Mason


Then we had Porter Christmas:

The girls, Ali, me, Court and Steph

Then Christmas day we went to Brant's parents house for lunch and gifts! Lots of fun!!



Finally came 2009!!!!!! We didn't do much, just watched the ball drop on TV :-). New Years day we went to my parents house to celebrate the new year and Grammy's Birthday.

just too cute!


We had an awesome break, where we just relaxed, watched TV, PAINTED, watched movies, and relaxed some more :). I was so excited to start painting, but of course I waited until the last week to do so. I finally got one room complete and here's the final product:





After I finished the room, I decided I wanted to put the guest bed in there, so that's what we did! :-)



So that's been our fun filled Christmas break! We're both soooo very sad it will end in 2 days :( Now we have to wait an entire year for another 2 week break. Oh well, I'm sure it will be a fun filled 2009!!!

HAPPY 2009 ALL!!!!!!!!!

Say it aint so.....I mean snow....

YESSSSS it is! SNOW EVERYWHERE! What an awesome day it's been (although most of it was spent in the office, I still had my window). As soon as I got home I wanted to take some photos fast before it got dark, so that's what we did :-)....











Tink was having the time of her life :-)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....
