I knew I wanted to do a gallery of some sort but didn't quite know where to start. So this weekend when a pile of frames fell on my feet, I had the idea to just do it. I didn't feel like going shopping so I worked with the frames/pictures I already had. Which turns out is a lot. My first attempt I didn't get any pictures <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-Ex1zHkS1tNdGCwHqFIG1qdwUp0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-Ex1zHkS1tNdGCwHqFIG1qdwUp0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-Ex1zHkS1tNdGCwHqFIG1qdwUp0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-Ex1zHkS1tNdGCwHqFIG1qdwUp0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ALittleBusy/~4/My-Dfwsz9mg" height="1" width="1"/>http://alittlebusy.blogspot.com/2012/01/gallery-wall.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118705045869454499.post-89130811387495932622011-12-12T10:56:00.000-08:002011-12-12T10:56:37.040-08:002011-12-12T10:56:37.040-08:00Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02611252417004647581noreply@blogger.com1I finally got around to painting the Grae and Molly's room. I did like the color but when we got rid of the toddler beds and bought a bunk bed, the green was too dark for the room. I didn't want to spend any money on paint so I used what I had in the garage (I could probably open my own paint store). So the room went Benjamin Moore's Pale Oak.

So I decided to paint the back of the kitchen cabinets. They are open cabinets (on purpose not because we haven't bought cabinet doors yet) and were just boring white. So I got out the wall color (SW Rice Grain) and painted. I would have liked to add some pattern but this was fast and free.

This is what it looked like a couple of years ago. It has changed since to incorporate a long desk and we sold some of the bookshelves but the paint color was the same( which I love but is all beat up). Sort of before except most things had been moved out.

Oops. Well I think I have inadvertently acheived cuteness. I thought the black would toughen it up but it looks like a little cottage now. Know anyone looking for a tiny house to rent? The window frame was hanging in my room but I thought it would serve better as a fake window to the shed. The shutters were made with scrap wood. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rviZ2I2peDKCmS7eXS-T4M3FHFA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rviZ2I2peDKCmS7eXS-T4M3FHFA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rviZ2I2peDKCmS7eXS-T4M3FHFA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rviZ2I2peDKCmS7eXS-T4M3FHFA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ALittleBusy/~4/oGgqdxAhlaI" height="1" width="1"/>http://alittlebusy.blogspot.com/2011/09/cute.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118705045869454499.post-64445666547913472832011-08-30T13:57:00.000-07:002011-08-30T18:43:03.543-07:002011-08-30T18:43:03.543-07:00Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02611252417004647581noreply@blogger.com2 After many suggestions from Netflix that I would like Buster Keaton in Sherlock, Jr., I finally sat down to watch it with the family. It is a silent film and black and white. I have never attempted to watch a silent film as I figured they were boring and I'm not a huge fan of slapstick. So I had low expectations and figured I could endure anything for 45 minutes (the length of the movie).
