Quiet time!

Johnny has flown off to Colorado to visit one his good friends. Adam is one of America's heroes and will be deploying to Iraq next month. I was so happy to be able to send Johnny out to see him before he leaves. They moved quite awhile ago, so it's good for them to see each other. Adam was a groomsman in our wedding and Johnny was in his. Anyway, after a long day of him being gone (though probably longer for him and all his flight mess). I got the kids to bed on time and am relaxing in the quiet. I have spent most of the evening painting a bunch of small items around the house. Now, this household only has one camera so I can't show you the cool before shots, but when the camera gets home from it's vacation, I'll post the awesome afters! I painted a solid oak frame black, it had a wonderful picture of a snow covered mountain and now the picture just pops with it's new frame. I also painted a small key holder type shelf black and painted the knobs white, I also made a wood clock black and a small sofa table is now black and white. It's sounds like too much, but the entryway to the house looks great now!!! And I used some great little colored glass vases I found at a yard sale to adorn the shelf and added a basket and bamboo plant to the sofa table. It looks great and it was fun to change up the entryway free of charge.
