I am sure enjoying these days leading up to Thanksgiving, it's one of my favorite holidays! We are really trying to wrap up some projects around our home before the first of the year. Come January, we both have some larger work projects and it would sure be nice to have some things finished around here ;-) You know how I showed pictures of our painted kitchen cabinets a couple of weeks ago? Well, the blue that I painted my little office area just wasn't working for me. I tried to like it, but I couldn't. So, one afternoon I just started re- painting it and I am much happier. It isn't permanent, but now I don't cringe every time I look at it! I painted the desk with Chalk Paint® {OLD WHITE} and I painted the office chair with Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint {KITCHEN SCALE}. I lightly sanded the chair to distress it, and added a little antiquing wax to darken it.

Matt finished modifying the basement entertainment center and now it's my turn to paint it! It will take me a while, but I love to see things starting to change in the basement! Carpet for the play room is scheduled for December 16th, so we now have a deadline...

And the barn is progressing! Siding and roofing should happen within the next two weeks! We keep changing material selections and colors, it really is such a process to build and remodel. Having an endless budget would make it a lot more fun, but we don't, so we are trying to make smart decisions and still have a barn that has a bit of character.

And here is the neighbor's barn across the street, I love it! So fun to get to view both barns out of our windows!!

And we are celebrating Thanksgiving with Matt's family. I really love Thanksgiving and the slow paced day of reflecting on all we are thankful for. We have some intense family situations on Matt's side and mine, but still so much to be thankful for! Our contribution for the feast is home made rolls and then these fun sweet treats...
