Bathroom Demolition Has Begun! Simple Halloween Decor, 19 Degrees Coming-Winter Is Here!!!


Cabinet is gone!

Bathroom Demolition Has Begun! 
We started demoing our small master bedroom bathroom today! It's been an easy job so far, no big surprises. Here's what we're tackling ... We pulled of the medicine cabinet and towel rod. I pulled the back splash off, which damaged some of the sheet rock, spackle and texturing spray will fix that-


Old flooring, new coming Monday!


Old cabinet, circa 1970's-


Old bathroom, with new Ikea medicine cabinet bought last year. We will re-use-


Mini rack I may keep-


Dave pulling cabinet doors-


Pulled off cabinet rack over old toilet-


Pulled exhaust fan ceiling vent, will clean interior, wash cover and paint around-


Dry fit new Ikea cabinet-


Putting together drawers- 


New Kohler toilet-



Construction stuff on deck-





Side table with favorite Cheshire Cat!

Simple Halloween Decor-
I love Halloween, and with our kids gone we do more outside for the trick or treaters, but I still have some fun things! Here's a peek, with 90% of it thrifted over the years-

Black Crow and Cheshire cat a few years ago from Factorydirectcraft.com, lots of great stuff there!

Entry way

Happy Day of The Dead too! 



Front of the house



Dollar store witches in the peach tree

We have two of these on either side of the front garage, stalks from our corn patch



Tea towel around my mum


I forgot to get a photo of our entryway Halloween lights, purple and black, with bats and pumpkins on our front post. Cute after dark!

Driveway, that's it!!!




19 Degrees Coming,Winter Is Here !!!
It's late in the day and 49 degrees with a 30-40 mph wind! It's cold!!! I've plugged in the chicken waterer after Dave dragged out our extra heavy duty cord. We have a porch light, reptile ceramic disc heater and infared heater bulb hard wired in. Since both hens are molting I'll turn it on tonight. They have lots of food and had treats today. Our house is ready, cars too. Bye bye summer blouses for work! I got out our hats and gloves last weekend knowing this was coming. I think with our cooler summer we may be in for a brutally cold winter. I hope I'm wrong, but time will tell. I do like a LITTLE snow, but hoping there's not too much. Don't want a repeat of Boise 2016's Snowmageddon! Lasted for months and poor Dave just kept shoveling-





So pretty though!

Bathroom remodel is coming along! Your Halloween decorations are delightful, and you definitely have more leaves on your trees than we do at this point. We still have green grass and no snow yet, but the trees are almost totally bare now. Our chickens are molting, too, but are still coming out to roam around during the day. Must not be too cold for them yet!

Yes I'm about finished painting today! And we've actually lost a lot to leave the last day or so but more to come for sure

You had me worried there, with those pictures of snow! I am not ready!!! Deconstruction is such a mess, but it is so nice when all the new stuff is in. You have picked out really nice fixtures - can't wait to see the finished product. Halloween decorating is so much fun!

Yes messy but only for a few days! IKEA stuff is nice and we're reusing some others. Can't wait for trick or treaters!
