Gettin Crafty

I get the whole love of refinishing! This is my first and I am in love with how it turned out...thanks hun! It was the perfect addition to Addison's room! Can't wait to share my next which is yellow!!!

Current projects

I've really been putting James to work these past few weeks trying to get projects done before baby girl arrives. The top dresser is going in her room and the bottom one will be in the living room. I'm so excited to share the final projects and grateful for a hubby who is amazing at doing this kind of stuff!

Bedroom Ideas

I have decided on bedding for our little girl, now i need to find a dresser like this one to put in her room! Man, putting together things for a girl is so much more fun. But I am excited when we move to our new place to put Brady's big boy bedding and bedroom together too!

Big Plans, Big plans!

Crafts

they used to be white and we found them on sale for $1 at sears last christmas!

ya, finally 2 years later I found the pics from when Brady was 1 month old and we finally put them up! It was nice to have my mom in town to get things done!

Cutting in Style

Yep, I'm a Kentuckian now. I think I need to make it official!

I found these and I love them!!

Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree

Every year a new ornament for each person in the family...it's my family tradition being passed on. Here are our 2010 ornaments

james: since he joined the navy this year

me: since I have done a lot of sewing projects this year

brady: he picked his own out...he is obsessed with cars

helping me finish putting up all the ornaments

as my mother requested...a final picture of the tree all done! It's nice to be in our own home totally decked out!

Pretty

Got these in an email from Anthropologie and I drooled. Wish I could afford $8/each bowls!

Its starting to look like Halloween!!!

easy peasy! Chipboard, scrapbook supplies and some decoupage glue!

I figure I should show my kitchen while I'm at it.

still working on our living room.

What started as white pumpkins turned into glitter pumpkins

currently working on a spooky banner to put under it all.

This is our family room for the moment!

Lots of spiderwebs and pumpkins to be carved!!! These are our decorations so far...it's all coming together nicely!

Very Exciting!

felt flowers and fabric ones

halloween bag for Brady's first trick or treat (tutorial HERE)

pj pants for james

a new fabulous desk in the work!

a great photo mural to go on our blank wall when you walk in the house. James won't put the frames up till I have the pictures!!! Ugh, so I'm trying to decide what I want!

Congrats and randoms

Congrats to the Beazers on little Jayden! Isn't she just the cutest thing?! What is with all my friends having these huge adorable little girls lately. It ALMOST makes me want to have a girl one day! And the 15 other friends who have just found out they are pregnant! Geeze, what is with the mormon water...it comes in HUGE tidal waves every few months finding out how many friends you have you are knocked up ;)

I love this necklace. I want my house done in these colors I have decided!

Hmmm.

I have a huge wall that is empty when you walk in my house. I'm working on finding a dresser on craigslist to redecorate (paint) and put there but I also want to do something else. I was going to do huge set of 8 pictures in two rows of our family, but then I saw this and I'm kinda lovin it ALOT. Gotta figure it out!

Very Pretty

I love 6th Street Design. She always has great stuff, and now has shared her house with us. She talks all about her living room HERE. I just love it, it's exactly what I want!

Where can I get me one?!

Via: P is for Party

A love for pillows

Due to the fact that we are moving next month, and I get a house to decorate (but seriously, on like a $20 budget!). I have been looking at pillows on etsy. Here are a few that I love:

bestill (i love all in their company)

olive shop

she has them in every state, different colors. I think B's room needs a hawaii one!

love, california

willa skye home

james would want these branch handmade

zen threads

elegant touch

next door to heaven

I am starting sewing tonight, which I am stoked about! I'll probably just make some myself (we will see how well I do!), but I do LOVE the cali one and the bike one for sure!

The Pretty little things

These are lamps that James and I can agree on. Of course he would like the blue, I love the white. Of course they are at Pottery Barn. Want them too? Go here!

new love

They have these at pier1 and I want 2 so bad for my bedroom!!! I hope they go on sale because $199 each really isn't in my budget...please go on sale so I can have them!!!

Pure Beauty

This chair is from Crate and Barrel and I am in Lust...

If only it could get marked down 80% off!!!

Exhausted!

Good weekend.

I'm pooped. I wish I could be a stay at home mom so I could sleep when Brady sleeps.

I am jealous of those moms of 1.

Lately I have been going to bed by 9 every night because I'm so tired!

Post from this weekend with lots of pics to come (due to my mom saying "I always check your blog and am always disappointed when it's about you and not brady" thanks for that honesty)

For now, it's about me.

gap has some really great sandals and those slip ons right now. i am loving them!


saw this bedding at crate and barrel, i want it for my guest room. i love it and james actually didn't complain about it having flowers on it.
my gorgeous friend Emilia has become quite the sewer! I think I need to go and take some classes from her! And now she is sewing tons of adorable accessories and clothing items (like this skirt). Check her out!

Two Loves

I am pretty sure I need this for my house, it would be a good daily reminder.

(from my Friend Heather's Etsy)

saw this dress on one of my favorite photographers blog. i need this dress!

If I had an office

this would be in it for sure!
