Guest Bedroom Renovation

This summer one of my goals was to paint our guest room. As you can see from the pictures below it was bright blue and had dark wood trim. So I painted the walls a light yellow and the trim and doors white to match the rest of the house. Also this past week we got new windows in our upstairs, they are not in the following pictures.

Every room in our house has now been painted by us except our office. The rooms we have painted include our kitchen, hallway, living room, downstairs bathroom, dining room, master bedroom, upstairs hallway, upstairs bathroom and guest bedroom. Scary to think how many hours we have spent painting. :)

The Police Concert

In July we were able to see The Police in concert in Massachusetts. It was a great time! Jamie and I went with Jamie's sister Becky and her boyfriend Brian. We actually started off with lawn seats, but they let us move into regular seats in the pavillion.

A close up of sting. He always is singing with his eyes closed or I am just good at getting pictures of him with his eyes closed.

Becky and Brian patiently waiting on the lawn for the concert to begin.

Me waiting as well.

Our New Shed

Jamie and I decided that we needed some additonal outside storage. So while I was away with some girlfriends he decided that he would start building a shed. He was able to construct this 8x8 shed within a matter of a few weeks, with the help from his friend Ron, my brothers Joe and Bill, Jamie's brother Andy and Jamie's Dad Bob.

It came out great and freed up a lot of room for us.

The shed under construction. Jamie, Ron, Bill and Joe all hard at work.

BTW I got in trouble for taking this picture because there was a thunderstorm brewing and they thought the flash of the camera was lightening. Whoops!

The final product. We haven't painted it yet, right now it is just primed.
