Almost there...

We are SO close to getting the furniture finished and ready to move into the new apartment next Friday! Anticipation is killing me! I am ready to have all the furniture done with and start packing everything up! I just like to get things done soon, Heath on the other hand... takes his time, waits until the last minute, and of course everything gets finished on time.

This is what our garage looks like currently...



A complete and utter wreck! This was at about 8:30. We started painting at 5:30... didn't finish until 10. I had a mind set of finishing EVERYTHING, including my two fun projects {one involves a window and chalkboard and the other involves the letters "j" "s" "k" "a" and fun scrap booking paper}, but of course that didn't happen.

Here is what we have to continue to finish:
Dresser, vanity and two projects

Here is what we finished {kind of- we haven't put on knobs and the finishing touches}
Armor and "bama" bench

Here is where i stand:
Aching, tired, and ready to finish and MOVE IN!!!




This is the infamous "bama" bench {without the hounds tooth touches}! I think this is my mom's favorite piece!





This is what Billy did the entire time while it rained and we painted....




... and this is what God gave us to look at while we worked



Although we got a lot done, Bastonge didn't help out the situation any. He loves playing with the cats, and of course he was where he wasn't supposed to be. The cat hide behind some furniture and B tried to jump in after him... i quickly put an end to that because i wasn't about to paint the same piece of furniture again! As soon as i got B out of that furniture he knocked over almost ALL our black paint. On to the drive-way it goes. No worries, we cleaned it up... looks like nothing every happened

:)

{finished furniture will be posted soon, promise}

Working hard

Move in day is coming up pretty soon and i couldn't be more excited about it! Next Saturday we go and sign our lease and get our apartment keys, then the following Friday WE MOVE IN! We have been working very hard on all the decorations, furniture, planning and packing. It's all coming together so nice!


This weekend was my last weekend with my dad, so i couldn't work on a lot of the furniture with my mom {she painting a bench and an armoire}. Before i left for the weekend, i did a little project for my room. I painted a window.


Here's the plan...


Paint it green, sand over it {making it look more antique}, cutting a piece of wood to put behind it, spray it with walk board stuff {don't know the name}, nail it to a wall in my bedroom and WA-LA! perfect :)



I got a lot more done after i took this picture... but while i was painting i was jammin to come good ole' John Mayer. He always knows how to calm me down.


Mom, Haley and Molly went out for a bit while i was painting, but they came back in a joyful mood :)


Bastonge wouldn't leave the cats alone, he tortures them.


Over all, it was a pretty good afternoon at the Reynold's abode! I love creative afternoons, rainy skies, John Mayer and fabulous family time! 

What could be better?

I have been working so hard on these edits and I just couldn't wait to get them on the blog! I took these pictures of Kassidy a few weeks back and i have been so busy that i haven't gotten around to editing them... until now.


I edited around 60 photos, although that is not nearly as many as we took, it was a lot of editing my friend!
