Quick house tour

Here's a link to a little tour of the house. Enjoy! :)

House tour extraordinaire

Table tweaks

A few pictures

Finally some kitchen color

Casey and I made some cute hoop art with kitchen fabrics she found. I loooove them. And I saw this cute idea on Pinterest a while back where the person had hung a bunch of vintage bundt pans on her wall in a fun arrangement. I don't have a huge wall to do that, but I decided to put a couple of vintage pans up with the hoops to fill the whole backsplash wall in the kitchen. It's kind of sherbert-ish in there now, but kitchens are supposed to be happy! :)

Here's a bigger view with my favorite light and also the other new art-y thing I made.

I found one more pan at Goodwill last week for $3, and it's hanging above the calendar that lends an even more sherbert-y feel to the kitchen this month. :)

New table

After searching quite a while on craigslist and at various stores for a narrow table for our "entry" area, I couldn't find anything narrow enough (12-13") or, if it was narrow enough, it was poor quality or I didn't like it. My standards weren't that high; I was definitely willing to refurbish something. I just needed it to be narrow enough to fit against the wall and still make walking through the hallway easy.

Then I got the name of a custom furniture builder who does the kind of thing I was looking for and whose prices were reasonable. I told him what I was looking for; he sent me a few drawings, and they were perfect. Fast forward two months, and now I have a new custom console table! And it's teal!

I went "shopping" around the house for stuff I already had and did some styling. I need to fill in some more and get something different to replace the green vase. The lamp (Home Goods) and the mirror ($15 from Ross!) are new. I really wish I could move that silly light switch plate.

Oh and this fun wood bowl is from Goodwill--a fun $4 find.

Levi-isms

Some cute things Levi has been saying recently:

Pink-a-boo!
That's ridicklious!
Daddy, can you give me a piddy-back ride?
I'm telling duh troof!
He thinks a lightning bolt is a "lightning bulb."

There are so many more, but they all escape me once I sit down to write about it. :)
