My "real" Job!

I totally wish that crafting, redecorating, remodeling and everything craft related was my "real" job, however it is not. I do have a "creative" job! Graphic Design! (I work for the local newspaper, for 7 newspapers, to be exact). Hey, it still gets my creative juices flowing:)

Its not much, but here is a sample of what I do!

My friend just went out on her own, and of course she needed a logo:)

So we did a little bartering!Win Win!!

I'm a "hobby" photographer to:)

Its complete.. well almost!

I thought I'd stop in and share a photo or two with you of our newly tiled space! I love it..

I had the day off yesterday, so I thought I'd paint the trim around the window white. I must totally admit that I was a little nervous about doin this but I think it turned out great! I'll share the newly painted window trim tomorrow!

I must say, tiling wasn't near as hard and I had thought, just a LONG process!
Mabye that gets easier the more you do it?

Here's a up close view of our handles.. I love them, and they were cheap to:)

Tiling

For the past week, we've been very busy doing our first DIY tile work at our house.

And boy was it a experience!

I've been trying to decide what I wanted to do with this area behind the sink. Some sort of backsplash of course, but what kind? I changed my mind from bead board to the faux tin to actual rusty tin. But nothing seemed right. But Keith decided to do the tile. So thats what we went with. Keith picked out the color, and it was 4.44 for a square foot. Not to shabby right?

The whole section above the sink only cost us about $100 dollars..

Now.. Thats my knida project:)

My father-in-law (sometimes refered to as "the daddy") came down to help us switch out the light switches from that terrible builder grade off whiteish stuff, to the cool new sleek grey, that matched the tiles WAYYY better:)




He's totally a professional right?

I'll post more "finished" photos later:)
