We always have a beautifully landscaped yard.
He built this shed from scratch... with no blueprint and only a little help from friends! It even has a deck and electricity. No doubt it's built better than our own house!
The list of house projects are endless.
He installed a Jacuzzi tub for my Valentine's Day present many years ago. It required rerouting the water line...no problem for Robbie. He also did all the tiling on the floor and around the tub.
He's added crown molding and window frames, and upgraded the baseboards and door frames throughout our home.
Including adding crown molding to the kitchen cabinets.
Every single piece of molding that was in this house when we moved in has been ripped out and replaced!
Here is our beautiful kitchen tile backsplash that he wipped up on a Saturday afternoon.
He installed these stainless steel hanging pendant lights over the bar in our kitchen, where no lights existed before.
And added this decorative moulding under the bar:
How about these "built in" bookshelves in our office? These are inexpensive pressed board bookshelves that he painted white and embellished with molding.
He tiled around our fireplace with slate.
When we were dating, he painted this brick with a picture of my high school that had been recently torn down.
At Christmas he is the master decorator. Here are just a few of his creations.
Our neighborhood used to give away a Best Dressed Holiday Home award which Robbie won 4 years in a row. They eventually stopped doing it, I suspect because no one can compete with him!
And speaking of decorating, take a look at what he does at Halloween. (Everything is handmade!)
Did I mention that he can also fix anything and is an amazing cook?!?!?!
His next project is refinishing this antique china cabinet that he inherited from his grandparents. Of course with our baby due any day now, I don't know how soon this project will be competed....
Happy Anniversary baby! I am so lucky to have you!
Linking to these parties!
holy.

Whoa! What a guy!! Thank you for sharing! You will be one of the features tonight at the Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Pop on in and grab a feature button for your blog. The party will go live early tonight. Hope to see you again at the bash! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
ReplyDeleteWow! He is definitely a keeper! Handsome and he can make stuff! You are one lucky lady!
ReplyDeleteWow, too! Can I borrow your husband? Mine is handy, but doesn't do much unless he's prodded (relentlessly). And that shed -- can I just move into it? It's delightful!
ReplyDeleteHeather from Friendship, Life and Style
Wow!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. Eleven years? Well, you've had him long enough...maybe you could do one of those blog raffles to trade him in for one of ours? I'll nominate my husband..he's lazy as hell (or cerebral when I'm being nice), but he'll let you buy anything, go anywhere with you and loves travel. Sound about even? But seriously, your husband knows a happy wife makes a happy life. Stay happy forever!
