Home repairs

While my parents were here they helped us update a few things around our condo. We put in some new lighting and fixtures and my dad built some storage for our closets and put in a new garbage disposal. I felt bad that they were working the whole time they were on vacation but they're always so generous and like to help anyway they can. We sure do appreciate it.



Mark and my dad installing one of the new lights we got.



My sister put their dog into the box one of the light fixtures came in.
He seemed to enjoy that ... haha, not.



We used to have these paintings hanging up in the art room but now that we've transformed that room into a nursery we moved them into the office. It's a series that Mark painted his last year at BYU. I love having his art displayed throughout the house more now instead of just all in one room.




Mark's hair in pigtails. Doesn't he look so thrilled about it.







We used to have a Van Gough print hanging in our family room but decided to put it in the nursery so we could put up a display of family photos. We really wanted to make that room all about family and I'm really happy about the way it turned out. My dad built us those floating shelves and after a few coats of stain I think they look fabulous!
