Last winter Justin got a old 100+ year old door while he was working on a house - we've talked for YEARS about making a headboard for our kind sized bed and when he saw the door, he thought it'd be perfect.
Doing what he does best, he spent some hours in the garage last week cleaning it, a little bit of sanding, 2 stain colors and varnish...and here is the final result.
I love it! It turned out great and it makes such an impact when you walk into our bedroom. It is a perfect fit for our bed - it was worth the wait!
And Happy Birthday to Tim - who's not quite 100 yet!
For our far away families to keep up with the gang, and so that I can look back at all the fun of life with 3 kids :) This is my rememberer. We are: Mason (20), Ella (12), Silas (9), Dad/Justin (old), Mom/Christa (older)
Words to Live by...
“The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make. . . . I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” Anna Quindlen (Loud and Clear, 2004)
Mom of three, wife, sister, friend. Love being with family and friends, having a cup of coffee with sunrise and a glass of wine with sunset. Life is Good.
