From old to new

I knew from the very beginning of construction that I wanted a claw foot bathtub in the master bathroom. And it just so happened that in the house plans there was the perfect spot for one. We came across an original iron one with the original claw feet back sometime last year. It was in terrible condition, though. The bathtub was probably a hundred years old or more. But we knew it was the one. We had a plan for that old rusted worn out tub.  Here’s some of the process.  I think Joe did a beautiful job.  Now we just need to get it put in it’s place in the bathroom… and for the plumber to put on the fixtures and hook it up to water!

P.S. Joe, Grayson, and I may be moving and getting a new baby sometime in the near future.:)

gift

A new year often brings new possibilities and goals.  I’ve decided to define this year with just one single word.  I have known the feeling that I want to carry throughout 2012, but the word just hadn’t come to me yet. Until today…

gift

We are all unique and special.  Such as the way that we think.  Some people think in words, some people think in patterns, some people think in pictures.  We all have different traits…. different strengths and weaknesses.  Each and every one of us are different, but not less.  We each have a gift.  We each ARE a GIFT.

Allie - Well said, Lauren. I often tell my softball students that because they all do not “get it” the same way other students do. I have to work hard to give them different ideas, drills, words, verbals, articles, and pictures to help them. Everybody thinks differently… and I think it’s wonderful because it helps me think differently to- and that’s the best part! :-) Sometimes I learn more from them than they learn from me.
