New Living Room Walls

Our living room was finished in paneling on 3 walls and was a little too dark with only one window providing natural light. Our cost-effective solution was to fill in these paneling cracks and repaint the walls. It was a long process, but well worth the trouble!

Part-way through the process


This is what it looks like now.
(We plan to paint a picture on that white canvas)


You can see how much darker the previous color was in this first photo

Dining Room Doorway

We decided to cut a second doorway into our formal dining room which would help open up the room plus make the house feel larger and roomier. Here are some pitures of the process.

New Additions to our Sunroom

We bought a new bistro table for our sunroom. It's a good quality, solid wood table that seats four.


We also got new window blinds for the other side of our sunroom. Now we don't have to look into the neighbor's yard (and they can't look into our sunroom!). :)


Here's a photo of our back yard, taken on Sunday, August 27, 2006.

We awoke sunday morning to discover that our little sunflower had finally opened up! Here are a few photos of this pretty little flower.


Here are a few more that I took on monday.


These white hybiscuses are really quite beautiful.


This mimosa blossom caught my attention as I was walking around the yard.

Life Care Music Video Project

These are pictures from a shoot I was on recently for work. We found this old house in Sweetwater, TN and moved in for the week. This house was built in 1900 and was absolutely huge! It took me 2 days to finally be able to navigate my way through the house without getting lost! Here are some photos from the week in Sweetwater.
