We Got a Real Door

I hear there are a few devoted blog followers interested in the minutia of the few little projects we still have going on at the house.  This is for you, Uncle Gary!

So, this is the craftsman syle door Erik put up sometime in October.  We had to wait until the temperature cooled down below 85 degrees to stain the door according to the directions that came with the fiberglass stain kit.  Erik did a great job minus a minor mishap involving a dent that now exists in the hood of my car.  Doesn't it look great?  Hey, Regan!

Here are our holiday decorations in the casa:

Here's our table in the breakfast nook.  Erik is currently building a built-in hutch to fit in the recessed area there.  It's going to be awesome.  He's already built the cabinets over the washer and dryer and they're hung and funcioning well.  I'll have to get pictures of those, too:

Here you can see part of the backsplash Erik did in the kitchen along with all of my Thanksgiving baking:

These are the smaller tiles on the island:

Here's the new dining room table from Craigslist:

The tv armoir I got at the thrift store here in Rockwall:

Here are the rocking chairs I got for the front porch:

And since this post is dedicated to Uncle Gary, a lake-faring man himself, here's a picture of Erik cruising us around in our fixer-upper pontoon barge this summer:
