Back Entry progress

You may remember earlier in the year that Bob was working on our back entry.  It's not a big spot, just a little section that leads from the garage into the kitchen, but it needed a little love.

The first thing he did was to replace the back door,  He also put up new trim to match what he's been doing in other areas of the house.


He then put up board and batten 3/4 of the way up one wall.
He's had this done for awhile and I was having a hard time decorating it.  I had found a cute little wreath I wanted to hang, but I was looking for a large sign of some type to hang above it.  Finding the right size was the first problem, but I also wanted one with a phrase that would be good to read as we left for the day.
Finally I found just the right one!  Bob was so good and got it hung right up and I love how it looks and what it says,

It's a print, mounted in an old window.  It says:

New Day
"This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or use it for good, but what I do today is important because
I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will
be gone forever, leaving in it's place something that I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain, and not loss; good, and not evil.  Success and not failure;
in order that I shall not regret the price I have paid for it."              Heartsill Wilson

Here's how it looks hanging up.  I love the new look!!
