Room is finished

Master Bedroom is finished with the exception of my closet.
Instead of real candles in some of our candles we bought battery operated ones. The candles we attached to the repurposed glass door are real though. This weekend I plan on painting a quote on the glass door with a marriage theme to it. I will posts pics of it as soon as I finish it.
(I really need to get a new SD card for my ohine as everytime I try to posts new pics it says my phone doesn't have enough memory. It's obviously telling me I need to start printing pics! !)

Hubby built me a new piece of furniture out of old doors that I had wanted to make into barn doors. (Doors were too heavy and wide for where I originally wanted them).
Here is the bench he made instead.
We need to finish the entryway/mudroom but I can not decide on how I want the walls. I have been watching a lot of 'Fixer Upper' on HGTV and I love the look of shiplap.  On the other hand I love the white wainscoting with a chair rail. On top I would paint the walls a soft buttery yellow. I'm torn between the 2 looks and can't make up my mind so it is on hold for a bit.
We have been keeping an eye out in the Uncle Henry's and on Craigslist for a claw foot tub that we would love to add to the master bathroom this summer.
This summer we will build 1 more bedroom in the basement for our boys. Then most important cost for our own fixer upper will be replacing the current fuse box for one that is up to code. We have the old know fuses but feel it's time and safer to put in circuit breakers. (Plus insurance companies demand an update.)
I have slowly been crafting again. This week has been pure insanity with 2 different trips to the er for 2 of my children but I have decided to use a Christmas Tree I had in our master bedroom before we moved to this house and use it year round.
Each month I have decided to put a different theme of ornaments on the tree. January's theme is snowmen.
Here are the ornaments I made. This weekend I will be making felt ornaments to put on it as well.

Here is the tree decorated and sits in my kitchen on top of an old wooden high chair. (We found this green beauty sitting beside the road waiting for the garbage truck 4 or 5 years ago)
