The Front Porch



New windows, flooring, trim, a fresh coat of paint. Travis made a cubby with baskets for each of us to store hats, mittens and such. He also made the awesome twine ball lights. He has gotten lots of compliments. Done in time for going back to school-yeah!

The porch looks great. We hadn't seen it with the lights on.

Christina, Thanks. The lights are easy to make. One tip: make sure to coat the ballon with oil so that it does not stick when you are trying to get it out. This would have saved me hours of picking out small bits of ballon.
