Inspiration for My Loo!

Yep! The bathroom is the current victim in this house!! I posted HORRIBLE photos of it here.

I've got just a couple more smaller projects left in there.

I'm excited to show you it when it's done {hopefully soon?}

Meanwhile, to keep me going, I'll show you what it's ending up looking like:

Promise real photos of my house is coming soon!! 

Things never stay the same around here for long!!

I've found out the date I'll be able to return to work. Maci is doing better overall. Still lots of hurdles to jump through. I can't believe it's been over seven months since I've worked!

I still have another four weeks to get everything in order...well the DIY projects!! 

Can I do it?

Hugs!

....Wooden Chandeliers...

I know I'm *light years* late...in something that's obviously been around a looooonnnng time! {duh!}  

...but, I've been falling in love with these! 

-what else is new?! haha

Yesterday, a friend and I went on a little road trip to meet John and Sherry of Young House Love!!

They were speaking in Portland, at the Home and Garden Show.

{please excuse my creepo eyes...I can't stand pictures of myself, and we were laughing that I was a tad starstruck!!}

They were such a fun couple to meet...very sweet and funny!!

If you haven't checked their blog out, you should! They've been blogging for a while now, and I love their DIY outlook on life :) 

They have been working on updating their ranch-style home and blogging about it, while being hands-on parents to a very adorable little girl, oh and we can't forget about Burger, their little dog!!

They also recently tackled their first book, which is due sometime in the fall...

{Yes, they seemed in real life like they blog!}

It was such a fun day, spent making memories!!

Happy Thursday!!!

What's Your Number?

I mentioned recently...

I am a sucker for a splash of industrial.

I'm guessing that's reason I get all weak-kneed when I see something that has numbers?? {just kidding..well kind of}

I was recently mentioning something to my husband about decorating with numbers/sayings.

His reply?

You're going to put more words and numbers in here???

Ha! I love him :)

I don't have THAT many! {I'm not counting!!...no pun intended}


Saturday, I did this to a little piece of furniture that still needs work...gotta get handles on the thing-obviously, and let the paint finish curing before I set anything on it.

You probably have seen these plates in my dining room-

This next project took less than 10 minutes from start to finish {seriously!}
I've had some lightweight muslin totes in my fabric stash for quite some time.
Since my girls are old enough to carry their own toys and snack when we go out {like to church or clinic}
I figured we'd give this a try,

In all our switch-a-rooing around here, I took this shelf out of the girls room {will show you soon why} and decided to place in on the wall in the hall. Our hall is pretty wide and useable for how small it is. 

The space between the bathroom and the girls bedroom was a great spot for it. 

These cute little totes match the decor and are so easy to snatch while we are on the run, which is just about everyday!

I was thinking of putting our names on them, but decided since Maci was the shortest, I'd go for our birth year!!

Hey, maybe it will be a slight learning experience!! {clarify...the girls!! haha}


I have a few other numbers that mean something to me...

21 {the date of our anniversary-2/21}
01 {my birthday-11/01}
03 {hubby's birthday-10/03}
29 {maci's birthday-3/29}
22 {kenzie's birthday-10/22}
38 {the year our house was built}
13 {the anniversary/birthdate of me being saved-01/13}


Anyways! I've got a few different stencils and have to fight the urge to run around stenciling everything in sight...yah I'm a nut!


What numbers mean something to you??

I'm linking up to Wow Us Wednesday's at Savvy Southern Style


Have a wonderful day :)

I Have Issues...

I diagnosed myself with a problem....

I have CRAD......

Complusive. Re-Arranging. Disorder!

Am I alone?

In the midst of all my chaos in life, I like to make myself a little more work!!

I LOVE to rearrange, repaint, redecorate EVERYTHING!!!

My problem is being bored, I guess. {as if two children and all their stuff, a home to keep clean and orderly, church, and just life isn't enough!!}

I found I just can't sit still!!!

So! When I am in the middle of projects {like right now I have no dining room table, due to the fact that I decided I didn't like it white anymore...and I wanted it to look a little like this....}

{via}

{via}

And my living is torn apart, because I wanted a furniture arrangement with personality...{which involves taking down everything off the walls...etc}

{all images via}

Today? I am off re-hanging my frames, and art stuffs on the walls!!! {please help me pray I won't rearrange anything for a while!?} Dreaming of something like this:

Hope the rest of your Sunday is blessed!!!!

Taking A Break From Christmas!!

I was 'blog-gazing' and I came across these photos

{please click on the photos for their sources}

hmmm...I think you see a pattern??? Happy Sunday!!!

Excited!!!

I've been cooped up too long!! We've been here the last five days. I'm excited {much to my husband's chagrin} to get home and do some tweaking!! I've got a couple more things yet to do in the living room, then it will be done, until winter decorating :), got one {yes...one} more thing to do in the dining room. A couple tweaks in the bathroom, my room, and the girls room {exciting 'new' room arrangement idea...hopefully it will work out}.

I've been staying busy with other activities, tried to take it easy while Maci was in the 'easy' stage of treatment. This next 'intense' stage will start on November 17th. We will be stuck at home for two months, no going out in public {especially this time of year}. We have a lot of fun planned!!

Here is a little eye candy, {well I enjoyed it!} and hopefully can incorporate this kinds of things into the decor soon!!

Happy weekend!!
