I did decorate!

Well, I did decorate for the Fall Harvest!
Here is our dining room...

Can you believe I got that little chandelier on the table from Marc's for $3??
The tablecloth is from Target.
With the lights off... so spooky!
Our foyer and stairwell.  Hopefully I will find more garland on sale for next year!
Our front door and our little monkey!
I hope everyone had a great Halloween!

I am in love with Damask

While my grandparents were in town from Kentucky, they helped me hang some window treatments in our new home.  Thank goodness b/c the hubby HATES to hang anything!  
Currently, I am in LOVE with damask.  While on a trip to Joann Fabrics my mom and I found this beautiful fabric which I thought would go perfectly over our kitchen window.  And boy was I right!

Here is a close-up of the fabric.  We added the beading to give it just something extra.


 Isn't she gorgeous?  She makes me smile whenever I am in the kitchen.  Thankfully my Memau didn't mind making this for me, b/c lord knows I do not have the time.

Smiles!

Happy Thanksgiving

Well I cooked my first turkey today... with help from my Mom of course.  The "pop-up" never popped on the turkey, and I was frantic, but it ended up being ok.  I think we had a defective pop-up.  LOL.
Anywho, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.  

I am on my way to Toys R Us... crazy, I know!  I guess people have been lined up since 3 pm this afternoon.  Why can't they just have online sales for everything?
Gotta love Black Friday!

What a busy month!

So sorry for the delay in writing.  October has been a busy month.  We moved into the new house.
(We are putting our yard in next Spring)
We got married on 10-10-10
My father passed away... and we found out we are having another baby - Due June 7!
So needless to say it has been a busy month.

I am so jealous of the bloggers out there that can continually update their blogs.  I think my 2011 resolution might be to make an effort for at least 1 or 2 posts per week.
Maybe if I didn't work full time I would be able to keep it!

Smiles!

We have lights!

I was uber excited as I went through the house last weekend.  We have lights!!  YAY!
The company our builder uses has you pick out the lights you like through their website, so you don't see anything in person.  Granted their sales rep is very helpful in making sure that everything matches and goes together.  But it is very awesome to see my vision come together.  I can't wait for it to be done.
Here are some pictures...

Master Bathroom chandelier!  They are still doing work in here!
YAY, for lights.  Just a few more weeks.  I can hardly wait!

Master Bathroom tile

It took me weeks to pick out what tile I liked best for the bathrooms.  I finally decided on one, then I couldn't decide what type of accent pieces to insert throughout the space.  Well, I made my decision and it went in a few weeks ago.
Here it is...

LOVE!!  It came out perfect!  
Now to pick out decorations for this room.
YAY!

Cabinets!

So my computer hates me and I haven't been able to update my blog in forever!
The cabinets for the new house arrived in early August.  This was a moment I had been waiting for!
Here are all of the boxes... seemed like there were a ton!!
Here is the laundry room with black laminant countertops
The double oven and stove area
Fridge...

And here it is complete with the black pearl granite.  I LOVE my kitchen.  I can't wait to cook in here!

I decided to do a saddle color island to break up the white.  It matches perfectly with the hard wood floors.  We added the beadboard paneling to the back as well so it wouldn't look so plain.

Thanks for stopping by!
