My cousin Miekka wrote a blog asking for mood boards for her new Laundry/craft room, and of course, the opportunity to window shop called to me. This is her board of the materials they have already in the room, or will soon. That CUTE fabric will be for the ironing board...I love it Miekka, you should get it!Here's my little rundown of thingys for … [Read more...]

Well, they posted our kitchen today, you can find it by clicking here! While you're there, check out some of their rooms, or their wedding photos, … [Read more...]
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall…
February 5, 2009 By 2 Comments
I finally finished my last coat of paint on the mirror that's in our master bedroom. I think it looks quite swanky! What do you think? (and yes, I know my paper whites have kinda gone crazy. What are you supposed to do with them after they grow? with the bulbs I mean?) Anyways..... Sadie seemed to enjoy preening in it. (I feel pretty, oh so … [Read more...]
Master Bedroom

Welp, it's not done...far from it, but since I got a new duvet cover I figured I should put something behind the bed. Headboard=too expensive.So I gathered my small collection of birdie pictures and hung em up!Hope you like! Snazzy! I got the print at the top right from Goodwill for $1, and then painted the frame black. The bottom right was on … [Read more...]

Not that I'm ever clever really. I just like to think I am, so humor me. ok? ok. This is me today: rushing around making pizza for two lazy bums. (R and Nae) meanwhile baby tries to eat my camera and generally wreak havocwhile these guys were zoned out in front of the Wii, I was finishing up this project:I finally found an oval frame today, at … [Read more...]
the new kid on the block
December 30, 2008 By 2 Comments
Tada! Our new couch arrived this morning via the Rory and Chris Express. Yay! It looks perfect! I love it. It's a tad smaller than our old couch, but it gives us more space behind the couch (which, let's face it, is really where we needed it....ha.) Nonetheless...looks good don't it? Where the old couch was banished...I mean moved to. The sun … [Read more...]
the great sofa search
December 30, 2008 By 1 Comment
We were on the hunt today. For a couch. We took off this morning, Aunt Nae Nae in tow, to San Jose for the great sofa search. Alright, we went to two stores. Anyways, the first store had one we liked but enormous shipping prices. The second place was Ikea. Ahhh, I love Ikea. The land of cheap housewares. Who doesn't love that store? We ruled out … [Read more...]
Silhouette mania
December 18, 2008 By 5 Comments
Silhouettes are so totally hip nowadays. (confession: I had to google how to spell silhouette....dur.) My Grandma Lance had them first though! lol. So, I've seen this silhouette ornament idea on a few blogs, and wanted to share it cause it's so cool! I made one last night...out of cardboard, but hey-it works. My mini glue gun is my friend. Except … [Read more...]
Bouncing Wreaths
December 16, 2008 By 2 Comments
Yesterday at Kim's house, all the cool kids were getting in the bouncer. So Sadie of course had to try out Payton's bouncer. Being only her second time on a bouncer, she was still a little hesitant, but she had some fun bouncing...and also just "hanging" out. Being around two older babies make her adorably shy! We really want to get her one of … [Read more...]
Butterflies are in the air
December 7, 2008 By 2 Comments
One of the crafty things I've had going for awhile is this cute butterfly mobile. Especially since Sadie now wakes up from naps or in the morning and talks to herself for a little while, this will give her something fun to look at. Or at least, one hopes it's fun to look at. I got the pattern and idea from this blog, and finally got Rory to screw … [Read more...]
