Pinteresting

So ever since I have been in the situation known as "a lot of free time", I have been spending a considerable amount of time on Pinterest(a wonderful website I am sure many of you are familiar with). Because of that Matt know responds to most things I say by saying "how Pinteresting". Or really anything that uses that word. So this blog post is pinteresting, since I have been trying to pinterest my life.

At a garage sale I got four matching chairs for $5 each. Great deal considering they are really sturdy chairs. As some of you may be aware, we sold our table before leaving Utah. We got a new table here, but have been without chairs. Therefore these chairs solved our problem, but first I wanted to make them cuter.

Now the paint job. After I painted it I also got a high gloss spray wood sealer finish (or something like that), anyways they look nice. I am trying to find two other chairs to go on the ends of the table and then I will have two chairs of each color. The fourth chair I have now I just finished painting yellow.


Also because of pinerest I have decided to try out some new recipes. Its really fun and I mostly only make desserts. Brown sugar cookies.


This is actually the first Sunday dinner I have had to cook for just Matt and I. Due to the fact that we lived by family until now we have never really had to do our own Sunday Dinner. I made a roast and everything.


Raspberry lemon cheese cake. Also Pinteresting


Now on to some pinterest home, with the help of my mom. She came out for the weekend after Hansen left and we had an extreme home make over, that wasn't that extreme, but was fun. We got an ikea shelf to create a make-shift mantle.


Love Ikea storage



I also bought this cute little table off craigslist. I want to paint it too, but I haven't gotten around to it. Also my mom is nervous about me painting it since it looks nice now.


We also finally got some curtain tie back things so that I can have some more light in the family room. There is no overhead light, so that is a little weird.

Well that about sums up my pinteresting life. I am getting a little bored having nothing to do, but I am liking that I have time to cook and stuff. Matt may be a little disappointed when I actually get a job and I go back to my old ways of not cooking so much.


Sincerely,

Kelsey Phillips (its now official. Got my CA Drivers License with it on and everything)
