Nesting and House Projects

Unfortunately, I haven't been the one nesting at all...or really had the urge but Kelly sure has! He hung chair rail in our dining room and painted below it (I did help with that) and he also hung up a mantle! A friend of mine is a builder and gave us a cypress beam and Kelly cut it down (actually, cut it in half with a chain saw because it was 10 in thick!) and sanded it and hung it up. I love it! Here are some before and after pics.
