spring has sprung!

welcome spring!
Have you been itching to clean as much as I have? There is something about spring cleaning that is so invigorating...don't you agree? Okay, so maybe it isn't that much fun in the beginning, but there is nothing more satisfying then opening up a closet and seeing everything neatly put in its place! Here are some of the things we have been working on in the Withers House...

SOPHIA'S BEDROOM
sophia has wanted to paint her room for quite some time now. We decided to paint it over Spring Break (thanks for Grandma and Grandpa) and change out her bedding and curtains.

  

  

 what do you think?

CHAIR RECOVER and PELMET
We have recovered our chairs once before, but they were in DIRE need of attention after 2 years of little children spilling milk and other substances on them. 
 this is what they looked like originally - we made a change after children AND
 a dog got a hold of them!

My dad made a pelmet for the space above our kitchen sink...here are the BEFORE, DURING,
and AFTER shots 




bobby wrapped the pelmet with batting and then the fabric...the best part of all is I only spent $48 for the fabric and batting - score!

ST. PATRICK'S DAY
breakfast for my little leprechauns...
i made them some pistachio pudding with rainbow sprinkles for dessert in the evening

BUNNY BOTTOMS
ever since the girls were REALLY little we have not used the "b-u-t-t" word. The girls know they cannot use it, but every one in a while they will spell it if it is in a book or magazine. Well, I found these cute Bunny B-u-t-t-s on Pinterest. We had a go and changed the name to "Bunny Bottoms"...

SPRING BANNER
Sophia's spring banner is flying proudly on Main Street...

EGG COLORING  



We'll be back soon for some BEFORE and AFTER pictures of our playroom (we are currently in the process of painting and rearranging) and some pictures of our Easter.
HAPPY EASTER to you!
