Things to do inside when it is freezing outside...

Howdy -

So, we are currently in the longest "cold streak" in Anchorage in about 25 years. It has been FREEZING for SOOO long. I don't remember the last time I saw a cloud in the sky. The days here have been beautiful and sunny, the problem is that when it is sunny here in the winter it gets cold. It looks like today could be the last cold day with it "warming up" to the teens and 20's this weekend and next week. Sherri and I have both commented that 10 above is going to feel great after what we have gone through!

One positive of this weather is that it forces you to stay inside and keep occupied. Earlier this week we got the idea to "re-do" our bedroom. Seems kinda strange since we only moved in 8 months ago, but we felt like our new idea would make the room more romantic and just a much more relaxing space. We didn't have a headboard for our bed and we have looked for one that we liked and we could just never find the right one, so, we made one. It was easy easy easy. We went to Home Depot, got a 1/2 inch sheet of plywood, picked out some nice peel and stick floor tiles that would go with the color of our bedroom accent wall, found some curtains that would tie everything together, bought new matching nightstand lamps for next to the bed and a few new candle sconces for around the room, we bought all new bedding to match and we are SO happy with the outcome!! It feels much more like what we wanted our room to feel like from the beginning. Here are a couple pictures of the final product!!
