Dining Room- Removing the Tree Painting


Well, it is part two of my post on repainting over our tree in the dining room and this is what I ended up doing to the wall...

This is how things started out looking in here...


This is after I painted over the tree mural...


I redid the mirrors we had in the dining room and just kept them plain to hang on the wall.



Then my daughters and I took a quick trip to Target to pick up 3 little mirror to fit right in between the 2 larger ones...
the mirrors were only $5 a piece so I thought "Why not get them?!"
:)



I hung up the 3 mirrors and they look like this now!!



We love it because it opens up the space so much more AND it adds more light...not that we needed more light in here, but it is a nice change!



I still have more plans for this spot but it will take time.


Thanks for stopping by!

Dining Room Change-Up

Hello, hello!!

So knowing me, it isn't a surprise that I have changed up something in my house. What's new, right? :)

This time around, I changed up a wall in our dining room.

Here is what our dining room use to look like...




And here is how things looked after I started the changing process...


And here is where I ended up after repainting over the tree...my husband really wanted to keep my painting of the tree, but I told him that I can always paint another one if we want...I love him!
Thankful he lets me try out my "crazy" ideas!!



Stay tuned to see what happens next! :)

My Redeemer Lives

Happy Friday, everyone!!

This song is regularly stuck in my head...which is a good thing, I think. :)

Have you heard of it before?
It's called "My Redeemer Lives" by Nicole C. Mullins


Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Chorus:
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives

Ye-e-eah
The very same God
That spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory

Now I know, my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I-I-I know
My Redeemer

He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives
Forever I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sins
Was the precious life He gave
And now He's alive and
There's an empty
Grave!

And I know
My Redeemer lives
He lives
I know
My Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I-I-I know my Redeemer

I know
My Redeemer lives
*I know my Redeemer lives*

*I know, That I know, that I know, that I know, that I know
He lives
*my redeemer lives*
*Because He lives I can face tomorrow
He lives
*I know, I know*
He lives
*I spoke with Him this morning!*
He lives
*The tomb is empty*
He lives
*He Lives! I'm going to tell everybody!!*


My favorite part of the song is when she sings "I spoke with Him this morning!" Love it!!
