Home Improvement 101...






Step #1--Paint the outside of your house--It feels BRAND NEW and costs 100 times less than a new home!!
Step #2--Stick to the experts' color palates--Black Doors ROCK! (no one else in neighborhood had it, but I love it!)
(p.s. that cute little boy in front of door is Carter Boy in his blue converse shoes that are making all the girls CRAZY!)
Step #3--Never EVER buy plaid couches, but if you do, NEVER put them with a floral print--see our new and improved Front room.
Step #4--Tell your husband it's like the show 'Design on a Dime' (just don't let him know how many dimes it will be....;0)

PS...Eric just walked in and he is AMAZED! He says "It looks like a brand new house!" All the more reason for us to come visit and see it in person :-)

Kj, I think the black door really makes the "pop"! (Design on a Dime talk.) The couch looks great, what a good fit. Iooking forward to seeing it in person. Tell Carter boy he looks like he's ready for business in his cute outfit. Gpa would love to play catch with him. You'll have to give me more info on your youth conference.

The place looks awesome. We'll let Halle loose on it here in about a couple months and break things in a bit. Jenni loves it. I dig the black door.

Love the black door. Mine's black too, and I think it's the perfect color for front doors. Your house looks great.

Kjersten...I'm so excited you have a blog too!! (I kind of figured you would- You're so "with it"!) I love that we can finally have a way of keeping track of each other. It was so fun to look through all the pictures of your family...I can't believe how big the kids are all getting. P.S.- I love the redecorating! It looks great! And NO, you will not have the pleasure of seeing pregnancy pictures! It's not really a time in my life that I want to document with photos! (Well, OK- I might add a few on the blog soon...Just for you.) :-) Love you!!!
