What's Up With The Name? You may ask as many people do, "What's up with the name Thankful For Orange?" Admittedly it is an odd name for a website or anything for that matter. Why orange? After all my personal favorite color is blue and this site is about my work and creative life so what's up with orange?
Introducing... While Tuten is odd sounding when correctly pronounced as "Toot in" or "2-10" it is my name and though I may have wanted to change it when younger to be free of all the kidding, I have come to appreciate and embrace my name. It's different. Different is good, especially in my life which is best summed up with the word CREATIVE.
Latest Project We purchased a home this year on almost 2 acres and we couldn't be happier. The house is as old as I am and was in need of repair. We have done a lot to the house so far. The pic above is of the fireplace rework, just one of many projects we have undertaken since we moved in. Click the photo to view the progress.

Latest Project

We purchased a home this year on almost 2 acres and we couldn't be happier. The house is as old as I am and was in need of repair. We have done a lot to the house so far. The pic above is of the fireplace rework, just one of many projects we have undertaken since we moved in. Click the photo to view the progress.

In addition to the fireplace, we've knocked out and added walls. Removed a lot of wallpaper and paneling. Painted walls and cabinets as well as added new floors. We still have a ways to go but the construction noise has stopped for a little while. I'll be focusing on outside projects more this year like the garden and landscaping. With 2 acres there is no shortage of yard work.

The movie below shows the progress of the fireplace. I don't think I'll do one of these again anytime soon. The results are well worth the hard work though!!
