DIY – Breakfast nook and dining room
It was about time I started sharing a few improvements we’ve been doing around this sweet home of ours. It’s been fun and busy around here, in DIY universe. This house is a big project, however nothing is in desperate need of repair, so we’re taking it slow. This is one of the reasons we chose this house too, having a lot of room for improvement and customization, but it’s perfectly livable for the time being. Anyway, let’s start with the painting news, shall we? After Alice’s bedroom, the first thing that came across our minds was the rear patio doors, leading to the backyard (just off the kitchen, in…

Snowy Monday
Another snowy day around here. Slow drive, monochromatic visuals, but beautiful on its own way. If you look on the photos below, can you guess who loves the snow the most around here? Beijos

Let the painting begin…
I did mention that almost the whole house is painted in a beige/yellow tone, right? Well, I probably didn’t mention the hospital green tone that is covering a few of the bedrooms. Alice’s room is one of them. I just thought her room was the first on our list, since didn’t require that much work and investment to look nice.

This is the before… The striped wall – Lines were drawn every 20 cm, with a help of level. Lot…

How to break tiles – not on purpose

It was going fine until I pulled the trim a little harder and a tile just came out with it… awww… fail! I could noticed that the tiles around the area are all sort of loose.

Primeiro corte de cabelo da Alice
Semana passada minha missão foi levar Alice para seu primeiro corte oficial de cabelo. Enquanto a gente esperava, eu expliquei pra ela o que iria acontecer e como as crianças da sua idade, Alice se sente mais confiante se sabe o que vai acontecer. Coisas desconhecidas e inesperadas podem causar ansiedade, então foi bom ela ver o processo com uma outra menininha, na frente dela. Quando a vez dela chegou, eu não podia acreditar como ela se saiu bem. Ficou quietinha, só curtindo o trato e se olhando no espelho. Tão crescida essa minha filhota! E de bonus, agora ela consegue ver melhor, sem cabelo nos olhos!! hehe Missão cumprida!…
