More cabin updates

We are blessed to have so many awesome friends. We had friends help Kyle with all sorts of labor, friends help me paint many times, friends who helped pack us, and friends who moved us. Thank you so much! We feel very loved! Now, on to cabin pics. Here is the downstairs bath when we bought it:

After: You can't tell that much of a difference in paint color, but believe me, the before was really gross, remember a ringtail cat had been living there.... and the paint color after has a sheen, like pearl.

My dear friends from Kaufman, Debbie, Stefanie, and Crystal, whom I miss so much, came down and unpacked me. They hauled lumber and trash, bathed my children, did laundry, and were generally all that and a bag of chips! We worked so hard we didn't get a single picture, so this is an old one. They brought some of their kids with them, so there were 10 kids running around making messes and having a blast while we worked.
This is the old dining room table from cabin, you can see it in the living room pic in the previous post. I decided to use it for outdoor dining and painted it the same color as the downstairs bath. And below is the dining room chair before the redo: Why am I switching posting above or below the pics? Who knows, just can't seem to decide today...

I got the fabric 50% off online and everything turned out great, but only because Will Kraft graciously cut me new cushion bottoms and Crystal put the foam together and then gave me explicit instructions on how to finish the rest. Last night we had our first friends over for dinner and ate outside and talked while the sun set and listened to Nate play the guitar and the kids ran around and we yelled things like "Quit lettin' all the paid for air out!"... I have to admit it was as great as I hoped it would be. We have an awesome little home and a fab front porch!

The table and chairs look fantastic! And the shower curtain looks really good like that. You have done such a good job!
Love you,
