Post It Note Tuesday - The Revamped Edition

April 13, 2010
Hey y'all!

Ready for some Tuesday action?

If you wanna play along with Post It Note Tuesday, head over to Supah Mommy's blog!











Before and After












Close up of the distressing I did to the two tables.



I found some fabric that I had bought eons ago and had never done anything with. It just screamed "I'm perfect for the living room!"

So, I recovered some pillows with it's yellow, red and aqua cuteness.












Happy Tuesday everyone!
 

Sunday Meanderings

April 11, 2010
I am so sunburned.

And sore.

But, it was totally worth it!

I spent the entire afternoon on Saturday painting in my backyard.

Listening to some great music. (Seether, Eric Hutchinson, Everclear, Jimmy Buffett and Train - thanks to all who introduced me to the song Hey, Soul Sister!)

I painted some of the living room furniture, picture frames and a few decor items. I'm in love with the results! I have a couple more accent pillows I'm in the middle of making and I'll post pics soon. Since I was stum...

Kitchen Help Part Deux

April 8, 2010
Ok, lace came down.

I totally agreed with that one. I was happy I secured it with thumbtacks to see what it would look like instead of going all out.

I rearranged some dishes and left the doors off the upper cabinets. I'm left with this...




I like it. It needs paint.

So, one of my conundrums with all this is that my kitchen/dining room/living room are all open. No walls separating the three. To me, it seems like all three rooms must be the same (or at least coordinating) decor. It just seems lik...

My Kitchen Needs Help!

April 8, 2010
Dude, today really got away from me.

I was going to vlog my Lost post for the day. I really was. Yet, there's no vlog attaching going on here.

I was feeling in a rut today. Feeling unproductive. Unmotivated. Unable to be either.

So, I started out with Thrifty Decor Chick and then went to clicking on the blogs that had linked up to one of her things. I perused tons of blogs where people are doing all sorts of awesome redo's in their homes and it totally inspired me. Well, inspired and depresse...

Post It Note Tuesday among other things

April 6, 2010
Hey y'all!

It's Tuesday...again.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We did!

Despite Snappy's allergies totally kicking her butt this weekend, spirits were high as the kiddos got their egg huntin' on. She is still a little cruddy but, totally on the mend!

I'm hours away from the newest Lost episode and totally stoked about that! So, let's kick off this Tuesdayness with Supah Mommy's Post It Note Tuesday!

Going Green

April 5, 2010
You know, I spend a lot of time wondering ways that I can go "green", wondering if I'm "green enough" and if the products that I use for my family (from toys and clothes to food and cleaning supplies) are more harmful than helpful. It's important to me to teach my kids by showing them and I truly feel they can gain a sense of caring about our earth and the products that we use if they simply see me caring and hear me talking about those things.

As much as I want to be green, I'll admit that I...
