Our front door

I LOVE the front door, the color, and how well it turned out!!!! I LOVE the darker stain on all the wood upstairs.....I like the island and fireplace...but.....so tell me what you think....would David Bromstad be proud>?

I need your honesty please.....

I guess it's hard to tell in a picture......but this is the finished deal...
the fireplace
A different angle...
The bannister...
Glenn said the island and fireplace look like it's been painted white and it's dirty...

What do you think of the contrast?

Glenn and his pets....

The best looking farmer ever...............
Actually, the biggest cow isn't like a lamb, it's the two smaller ones(see earlier posts)
They'll do anything for food....
But in the end, he couldn't coax them out of the shed.....

More of Glenn and his garden.....

The love Glenn's corn...
"I am like a lamb.....going to the slaughter....."
Picking corn for the cows...
Glenn said the potatoes are ready to dig up....
Glenn planted 2 more rows of corn......we'll wait and see if they grow....

Glenn's Turn to "Shine!"

Green beans....tomatoes....
Glenn in his corn....
We put up 43 quart size freezer bags of corn, and still eating it...
He works sooooooooooo hard.....

So, while I was taking pictures of all the remodeling on the house, I think Glenn was feeling a little left out, so he said, "Hey Shirl, come take some pictures of my garden....and my cows.....so, I did, and here they are....

The Fireplace and Kitchen Island

Not quite finished yet....
Tomorrow, Friday, it will be all done....
so, what do you think????
It was amazing to watch them get this affect...
I can't wait to see the finished results....stay tuned....

The Front Door that "Pops"

Glenn even likes it....
This was a hard decision...and thanks for your opinions.....but.....
if you look closely at the new hardware.....you'll have to agree....
that...Red was the right choice......anyway, that's my opinion.....

The Island

Final "During" Pictures

The original.....
After the wood's been stained.....
Wow!

Before, during, maybe after?

This was the color of our front door.....
We just had it painted to this color, and we don't like it.....
On the way to Costco yesterday, I passed a house and this is the color of their front door......I really like this color.......what do y'all think?

Fireplace

The first picture is with the flash and the 2nd and 3rd are without. It is overcast and raining.....I will post the finished product when everything is done.

Getting Close....

So what do you think? I think there is no comparison....
On the left is the old....new on the right....
This is our bathroom
I'm loving it!
Fireplace is next....

Happy Anniversary Honey!

It's our 18th wedding anniversary tomorrow, August 18....Glenn had the day off today...so we celebrated today! We went to the Temple and had an early dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Yum! We've talked and reminisced about the past 18 years, and both agreed we wouldn't change a thing....we played games with Kalyn and Mike.....and then Glenn snipped the ends of the green beans he grew in his garden, so I can can them tomorrow. I am going to make some food to take to his work tomorrow in celebration of our anniversary!!!!! What more could we ask for? I love you Glenn G. Tefteller, "ABSOLUTELY AND ADORE!!!!!!!! I hope we have at least 18 more....
