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...

One of the pendant lights over the island

Above the stairs

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!

Foyer Table

So our house should be done in about 2 weeks or so and I still haven't found the perfect table for our foyer.  

The foyer looks like this:

I am thinking of doing something like this:

Why is this table so hard to find for under $100?  I am wicked jealous of people who can go to thrift stores and garage sales and find treasures, because around here, I never find ANYTHING!

So that's my rant for the day.  Have a great week.  And let me know if you find this table!

Hanging Name Above Crib

I almost forgot...  I have been up to a few projects too!

Here is one I made for Teddy's Jungle Room!

They were originally white letters that I purchased from Pat Catans.   I spray painted them black, since his furniture is espresso and then took scrapbook paper, traced out the letters, cut them out (which I did twice for the T because I did it backwards) and Mod Podged it onto the wooden letter and over it a few times for a nice shiny glazed look.

I am still debating on what color ribbon to attach to it.  Any thoughts?

Oh, and did I mention his room is painted BRIGHT green??

This picture doesn't do the color justice.  It is Topiary by Glidden.  

It is actually a little bit darker now that the second and third coats are up.

It really looks nice with the Zanzibar bedding and accessories we already have from Babies R Us. We are also debating painting some animal murals on the wall. I can't wait to move in and set it all up!


Linking to this party!

New Home!

Sorry I have been totally MIA.  But our new home consumed my life for the last few weeks.  

Here are some progression photos.

The framing has begun

The roof is on!

Master Bedroom

Siding is complete in the back of the house

The view from the kitchen entry into the Great Room.

I love the arches!  They are my fav!!

We have a driveway!

It won't be long now.

I will post more pictures soon!

Thanks for checking in.
