Painted Garage Windows

Last week I mostly worked on home improvements and spring cleaning. The yard was a mess of sticks and weeds. I've done a lot of work on the inside of my house and I wanted to do something to the outside. I've decided to hold off on painting for now because I can't decide how to paint it anyway. The outside of my house is mostly garage so I decided that making my garage door cuter would go a long way. I was looking up cute garage doors with windows and that would have cost between $1,000 and $2,000. I decided it was worth trying the vinyl stickers first. I bought the hardware for cheap at Home Depot and Scott put them on. When the stickers arrived in the mail they were the wrong size. I decided to just paint windows on instead. I should have done that in the first place. I already had the tape and paint. Oh well. So I painted the windows on and it looks great. I mean it's not the real deal but I saved $1,000 so I think it's totally worth it. I also had Scott change out our gold door handle and I spray painted our gold house numbers black. I spray painted my turquoise rocking chair gray and bought a wreath and pillow and BOOM the outside of my house has a whole new look. Now all I need is a cute window box on the front of the house. I'm thinking that will make a great mother's day present. 

Scott got the job we were hoping for. He starts on the 11th. We are excited. The company seems great and he's excited/nervous. He was especially excited that they didn't want him to start for 2 weeks so he could enjoy a little more freedom and down time. He has been working on his nerd video game you-tube channel after all.

Here are some pictures from Scott's phone and some home improvements.  











The girls' dance teacher does so many fun things. The girls LOVE it.

The weather has been a amazing last week. Took the girls (and friend) for half price sonic drinks.
