One of the benefits of having a husband who hasn't been working lately:
getting projects finished!
down-side: doing it without spending money, using furniture you already had alround the house that badly needs to be replaced, staining the floor instead of installing carpet, using whatever paint color we had (I think it was left over from one of DJ's houses'), and going without trim or baseboards... o-well some day we'll get it done right!
At least Greg has somewhere to work and study as he ventures on his new job (hopefully soon!!!) He has been home for a week and half trying to study for his Insurance exam so that he can start his new job. He hasn't had anywhere to study so he's been going to the library or locking himself in our bedroom. Then during breaks to give his brain a rest he was working on the basement... maybe someday he will get an actual "vacation"!! =)

Greg has always had all this "manly" decor that he has wanted to be able to put somewhere. Now he has a place all his own that he can hang and display anything he wants.
Notice the greenery in the window-well... its crazy that with as much snow and as cold as it is the ivy still stays green and lush in the window well... makes for a nice view!

Just 1 week ago this hallway was crammed full of stuff, you could hardly walk through it. we finished painting it to match the family room/playroom (not pictured) and then hung doors so that now it looks more finished and way cleaner!!!
