Building our family and home on the foundation of Jesus

Welcome to our country home remodel! The earliest entries of this blog are from a country home remodel we finished up last summer and successfully sold the home. We're now excited to be on a new remodel with new challenges! Thanks for checking in our progress.

Not just a pinner

I enjoy clicking through Pinterest, finding inspiring ideas, repinning them, but then I kinda forget about them.  The "gutter bookshelf" was one such idea I repinned and then put off.

But, I wanted to prove that I am not just a pinner, I am a doer.

So, I found some older FREE gutters on craigslist, cleaned 'em up good, primed them, and then painted them to match the girls' rooms.  The big girls have bunkbeds, so the fact that the bookshelf is close to the wall is wonderful since it's above their pillows, and it can hold just the right amount of bedtime reading material.  The little girls got a longer piece of the gutter for their shelf.  I painted it the same brown to blend in with the bottom third of their wall.  And it's right at their level and loaded with books.

So my hope is to take this more-than-a-pinner attitude and try another fun idea!
