Kitchen door words of wisdom

Taken with my camera phone.

I love that when you leave, its the last thing you see!

(PS, Galatians is spelled wrong in the picture. I fixed it :) and I also felt pretty dumb when my husband pointed it out. haha)

Bless Our Nest

The other night, I was really restless. The house was picked up, the boys were watching a movie, my husband was working on his Bible study for Sunday, and I had nothing really urgent to do. 

So, I went out and got a piece of scrap wood from the garage (fun!), got a piece of scrapbook paper out of the old stash (which was a couple of years old) and some vinyl, black glitter and black paint. I came up with this:

Because the paper was 12x12 and the wood was a lot longer, I cut it up into four pieces and pieced it together. I thought it would look better that way than two pieces. 

The sides are glittery black. Hard to capture glitter, isn't it? 

Because I had everything here, it cost nothing to make, it kept me entertained for a bit and is now hanging above our front door inside.

Vinyl It Up Weekend

I have been adding to our vinyled walls this weekend, so I thought I would show another installment....


Will post more as I finish :) Pin It

Monkey Bathroom

Home with the Treslers continues as we take a peek into the Monkey Bathroom

I always says I would do the boys' bathroom differently once Jaden was potty trained, so back in January, Micah and I did this while he was sleeping. I should show the ugly before pictures of what we used to have...I do have pictures. I sold the old bathroom set at the yard sale for 5 bucks with the print. A steal for some one with that taste. I had been suckered into it back when we got the house. I am getting off subject....

Anyway, Jaden is our little Monkey Chicken, so we redid the bathroom for a great price in Monkey theme. (I did the vinyl today on the door and the walls)

Aim, Wash, Flush and Brush. Good motto for boys.

Jaden thinks it funny that the monkeys peek on him, so I put this one on the towels to keep him company.

Gotta have a monkey rug.

The stool, canvas and tissue box holder were already on hand, ready to be painted, so I matched them all to the shower curtain.

And last but not least, a tip for the day. To save water and laundry time, put a hook up for your towels you reuse. The boys' bathroom has 1 hook but both towels dry fast on it. Theres a frog underneath and then Monkey Chicken's.

Til next time, Home with the Treslers. Pin It

We're working on our living room. It's been a long time coming. DH and I have different tastes in furniture, but recently we found something we both really liked.We also moved me out of the dining room and into my very own scrap room. A welcome sign there would be perfect! June 5, 2008 10:14 AM

Vinyl Schtuff

Remember the vinyl I was talking about last week? We decided on the verse we wanted and I bought the vinyl for the wall and did it Thursday night. As for the door, well ,the order never came and when I checked on it, it had just sent yesterday. That irritated me. SO my mom helped me make one today and I can figure something out with the one that will come in the mail. Maybe I can sell it again or something, I dont know.

ANYWAY, here they are! Not bad considered I had to hand paint the hall way quote last summer and I did some lettering in our bedroom (which I will eventually post pictures of when "Home with the Treslers" continues :)) Vinyl is a new addiction. I plan on doing a whole bunch more. Something in the kitchen and the boys bathroom for sure. Maybe the utility room and something for the both boys rooms. Overboard? Perhaps.
