Life in Color Photography

I love them. I was trying to use up paint I have and make them really easy to clean so the risers are painted with exterior paint. They got kicked up by a repair guy so I got to test out the whole cleaning them thing, and it was super easy. The tread is also painted with exterior paint with sand added. I think I might pour a little of this in a cup and add even more sand, it’s nice though, no slipping. Touch ups brought to you by:


This hot little number. Why hasn’t this yellow thing been in my life before? I got it when I picked up another can of Picket Fence white trim paint, and a new brush (ah first new brush since last summer). Next to the stairs I hung a couple of my prints:


I love how light and airy everything is now. I am the destroyer of beige, tan and cream, yeah me! I still have to put the finishing touches on them:


I tore this out of a magazine years ago. Of course I’m going to use different type and stuff, but basic idea. So on to the next project.


Which was the reason I was going to call this post "stripping in a bikini top" but I was afraid of google hits I might get. It’s super sunny again today and I’ve been broken out since the wedding so I have to get some sun on me so… bikini top and skirt to strip in! Now that’s not the smartest thing ever, but I did manage to do it with out giving myself a chemical burn, sa-weeeet. Maybe we will have doors inside this house!

The little cottage that could. Remember when I first got this thing. And then after I hacked away at the front? Well it pretty much stayed in that state for the last couple of months with stumps and weeds doing their things in the front of the house. The lawn was all crazy from where it got ripped up when I had the house waterproofed, and it was growing over all its sides. Bj got a trimmer and went to town last weekend. We had bark delivered and gravel for the side. Oh I feel so much better walking up to the house now when I come home from somewhere. I mean the cuteness on the inside, well you would never even think it existed by looking at the outside, but I think we’re getting there now. We have big plans for the front that will hopefully develop more this summer, including a new porch. Stair pictures coming soon, I promise, have to do a little touch up.
