Another Awesome Gift!

Yup that's right, an iPad 2!!  My hubby gave this to me for my birthday on Sunday :)  It is just awesome.  I love it.  He gets me the greatest gifts ever.  This is right there with my kindle, and my cricut expression 2, actually I think I love this one the best.  The next day, he ordered me the screen protector and a little case for it.  Truly the man spoils me, I do love him so!

We're still waiting on that wallpaper.  Don't know how much longer but I know Hubs is dying to get it up! Since it's taking so long, I'm going to post some pics of the paper.

This is going to be on the ceiling -

This will be the center of the ceiling, you can see it a bit above too -

The walls will have this -

Needless to say we are anxious to see this done!  To give an idea of how rooms with ceilings and walls papered look here's a pic -

We didn't want to go with the bottom papered like in this pic.  That's called the dado, we felt it was too much.  In the meantime Hubby has started stripping the outside of the house.  I've changed my mind on colors about 3 times already.  Now we're leaning towards yellow what do you think -

I love how the porch floor is a high gloss gray.  So far I think this might be it.  We'll see....

So Interesting...

Ok, I gotta blog about this.  I LOVE the Most Interesting Man In The World commercials, the advertisers for Dos Equis are just geniuses!  They are witty and we just crack up!

Some of my favorites -

When he's in Rome they do as he does
Both sides of his pillow are cool
If he were to pat you on the shoulder, you'd list it on your resume
The weight of his words would break a lesser man's jaw

A few of my most favorites.  Stay thirsty my friends -

Finished

Hubby finished the wall with our fireplace and boy it looks just beautiful.  No one would know that it wasn't original to the house if we didn't say it.  My hubby is truly a rock star!  What he has been doing inside this house is just amazing.  I worry about him since he is working so very hard, but boy he truly is quite talented.

Here are the pics -

He ran the electric for the sconces, put it all in himself, it looks great.  He and the kids ripped the carpet up two weeks ago and the floor is in fantastic shape.  We like the high gloss so we will do that.  Now he's just waiting for the wall paper.  Wait till you see that!  He's doing an elaborate ceiling design traditional to the Victorian homes.  I'm excited!
