DIY at the Davy's ...

Shocking, I know, but not everything that happens in our house is about Mr. Levi.

We bought our house in March 2011 and haven't really done much in the way of DIYing. We have only really painted 2 rooms and actually can only take credit for one of those since Will and Mandy graciously painted the nursery for us. So, I guess a little DIY is overdue.

First, I, like many others, have become attracted to Pinterest. After pinning way too many project ideas, I decided to actually make one. Kyle was gone for the weekend at a youth convention in Indy so I decided to use my post-Levi bedtime time to be crafty. Our front door is now adorned with this wreath...


Next on the list... getting rid of the hideous purple front door. This has actually been on the list since we bought the house...

Ok, the other DIY project that has been accomplished is one that Kyle has been dreaming about since we started house hunting. In all the houses we looked at, Kyle mentioned mounting the tv above the fireplace. Now, after almost 1.5 years in our house, we have now mounted the tv! It also necessitated a little furniture rearranging (fine with me!) and lots of time from his brother and time crawling up in the attic.

 Couch has been moved, Levi's toys have a new home and yes, the tv above the fireplace

 our lovely ladder bookshelf (our first, ever DIY project!) finally in the home we wanted for it since we bought the house. this was previously the spot for the tv

I know I already showed the tv but this one had Levi standing up, so I had to post it
(guess I was wrong that not all things have to do with Levi, my bad!)

Until next time!

june 9th, really? ...

I apparently haven't posted a blog since the 9th of June. There is absolutely no way I can succinctly update you on the happenings of the last 4 months. So, here is my attempt - pictures with captions. We have a lot coming up - Levi's first Thanksgiving, first birthday, SECOND Christmas! Hopefully we'll do better in the future.

Enjoy this photographic update :)
