Slightly Obsessed

Both curtains are up! Room is done for now! Up next is probably Media room since I am hosting a Movie Night in just a couple of weeks! Eek! Any suggestions on what color we should paint it?

The Grape Room

Magnolia's room is finally ready to be shown! I am so excited about this....

Imagine two curtains. I sewed the first one, put it up and loved it so much that I had to put it up here! Give me feedback, I would love to hear your opinion, is it too busy? Too much purple? You love it and want to paint your living room the same color? Let me know!

Movie Night!

Roses are Red....

Roses that I picked today.

We have rosebushes, I don't like them, I think rosebushes themselves are ugly, but I do love roses.  I get to practice my floral arranging skills so that's good. Plus they smell AMAZING! Almost too much. 

In other news, Derrick got the time off for Disneyland, so we will be in Cali the second to last week in August. Yay for vacations.... we sure need one.  Anyone want to join us?

Sorry I am having way too much fun with this. Here is a teaser pic of the stripes in Maggie's room! I am sewing her curtains today, but I forgot to buy a curtain rod. So tomorrow the finished product will be unveiled! I am so excited to have one room done!

Sneak peek

Before

We chose a bold color for Magnolia's room. We haven't finished the stripes but, we plan on doing that tonight. Here is a sneak peek! I love it. Will post the finished project tomorrow! I found the most fabulous fabric for her curtains. Her room WILL be finished this week. I NEED 1 ROOM FINISHED IN THIS HOUSE!  Sorry, it's kinda driving me batty. Plans, for the weekend include just 2 things, painting and yard work!

After

Guest Room

We are excited to have our first guests to stay in our guest bedroom! We are taking reservations if anyone would like to come visit us!

Yes we have been working!

Hello everyone, We have been working over here! Our things came in last week and we have been working on getting those things unpacked and things organized etc. This week we bought some blinds for the back 4 windows of the house. There wasn't any, it was starting to get hot, and we didn't like the fact that someone could look into our house. Have you ever priced blinds? Yeah they are more expensive then you think, and we only had to buy 4! Our windows are 35 inches wide, and for some reason we decided to buy the 34 inch blinds because they matched the length perfectly, well when we got them home, and started putting them up they looked stupid so we had to take them back and get the 35's.  Derrick put them up last night and they look WONDERFUL! It's amazing how much they add to the room. I thought that originally I might just put curtains up and that would look okay, but I am so glad that we got the blinds as well. I am going to put a little panel curtain on that back door instead of putting a blind there since we will have to replace that back door eventually.

Yesterday, I bought this little beauty of a couch off of Craigslist. Thanks to my Mom for helping us picking it up and helping me move it inside. It's funky, it's retro, it reminds me of a grandma's house, it smells kinda like a grandma's house, but I love it! I love the shape, and the clean lines, plus it will be SUPER easy to recover, which we will do one day! For now I am just going to throw some new pillows on it and call it done.

 So, that means the brown couches moved to the Media room!  Derrick setup the TV, and we are loving our little makeshift media room! There is still a TON that we need to do like paint, run wires, set up sound system, eventually get a projector or a bigger TV, but we love hanging out in here. (I think that it's funny that Derrick is just staring at a blue screen here) First movie we watched in here? Twilight: Eclipse, because we were in a cheesy mood.

 This weekend we also got these little beauties! I am in LOVE with the armchair in the back. The upholstery is in really good condition, so again for now I might just throw a pillow on it. The pink swivel/rocking chair is in less than better condition but for now I am going to just clean it up make some cute armcovers, throw a pillow on it and also call it done for now. So many projects! This chair is going to go in Magnolia's room.

 Speaking of Magnolia..... isn't she cute when she's sleeping? She loves her blankets!

 Got these cute chairs for the kiddies.....

 Oh, did I mention that Derrick had a birthday? 28 Years baby! Thanks to Brant and Chris and Mom and Dad for coming! We went to Babe's, and it was hilarious.

 I was just going through the phone and found these other two really cute pictures, Enjoy.

Still tons to do on the house as always but we are getting there! I might have some of my family over for mother's day for a dinner, so this is some SUPER motivation to get things done! Work, work, WORK!

Preview

Sneak peek into our bedroom...

Our things arrived today from Utah. So we will probably be spending most of the weekend unpacking AGAIN, and organizing, before we can finish painting, but I am glad to have my things here. Oh, and I am excited to see THE AVENGERS this weekend with Mom and Dad S. and Brant and Chris. Holla!
