The Creek Line House.
So if you’re feeling crafty this year and think you want to make yourself a wreath out of fresh greenery, save yourself the headache and the 45-minutes of trying to turn your pine oval into a wreath, and take the easy (and pretty) way out!Just as promised, here’s yet another progress report on the front hall!.We got a new light!
Of course, you can hardly see it in these pictures, but I just want you to know that it’s not for a lack of trying!.We got it from The Home Depot down the street and Chris just installed it the other day.. I’ve been stalking light fixtures all over the place ever since and planning out all the new lights we “need” for every other room.I love what a difference it makes!.
That sucker is bright!.Except when it’s turned off!.
I knew I wanted a lantern style in this room, but I hadn’t considered this more modern type until one of my mother-in-laws bought it for her house, but then discovered it was too big.
We happily took it off her hands and bought her a replacement that we all think is just perfect for her space.. Just to clarify, I have two mother-in-laws, not two husbands.So that was enough excitement for me for one day and I left the second knife in its packaging..
The next day I picked up a baby thermometer at the store and it was in the same packaging.Don’t worry, no one was sick, I think I just left my old one on a hotel bathroom counter somewhere at some point this Summer and it’s something I like to always have around.
After going through that same struggle I thought “There has to be a better way!!”.I put on my thinking cap and grabbed the second new knife, the one that was still in the packaging, to do some experimenting.. My first thought was to find some garden pruners so I went out to the mud room where we use.
