a mini-makeover plus couples therapy

My cornices are coming right along!
 
I'm so excited for them.
I love it when I tell Nate exactly what I want and then he gets all official with his graph paper and measures things and draws them to scale.
It really turns me on. 
And when he fires up his power tools...

I hung out with him in the garage and tried to help out by handing him clamps and such.
He gave me a funny look when I called the ear protector things head phones and then asked him if his saw could cut somebody's hand off.
Then I told him that I like him when he acts like this. (You know, when he's building me stuff.)
Maybe our itch has been scratched.

So these were in Porterboy's room for awhile, but I was getting tired of them. Since Nate was mostly working on the big project, I wanted to do an easy little project. I took pictures along the way to show you exactly what I did. (You're welcome.)

PS Don't look too closely at the yellow one.  The brush I was using was a little bit wet and made the paint run under the stencil.  Quit looking!
Aren't they cute?
PPS In case you were wondering I used a sponge brush and black craft paint.  The yellow and blue were old cans of paint I found in my garage.
