Birthday and Bathroom

Today is my birthday! The big 2-7.  This should be a hugely exciting year for us!  Hello…. a baby is quite a change for us.

Another change is our guest bathroom.  It isn’t nearly done, but it is getting there.  Take a looksie.

Here are some of the after shots.  We have paints on the wall now but I haven’t taken pictures yet.  I know, I suck.  Sorry.

I am in love with our bathroom and my birthday.  I got a TON of candy for coworkers and students and their parents.  Jeremy bought me a new phone over the weekend and I came home to my favorite candies, a sweet card, and a beautiful orchid.  LOVE him!!

Changes Ahead

Wow… how long has it been since I have blogged?!  Yikes!!  Things have been really busy with family, work, friends, side furniture business, etc…  We are also in the process of redoing our guest bathroom.  But, that will be saved for another post when I have all the after pictures complete.  Knowing me it could take me months to find a shower curtain.  So, don’t hold your breathe for that post!

Plus, we are expecting our first baby in September! YEAH!  We couldn’t be more excited for what is in store for us.  We found out at the very beginning of January and we finally told everything about a week or so ago.  Quite the secret to keep.  Of course, I cannot wait to find out the sex so I can start with my massive nursery plans.  Jeremy is going to just love me when I show him my ideas.  Oh well!

Here are some nurseries that I just love.  Some I only like part, but you get the idea.

2011

My goal for 2011 is to be a better blogger.  Well, maybe.  I am just getting busier and busier and I don’t even know what to blog about…. which means, I don’t blog.

I will try to get better!

My sister and I are still going strong on redoing furniture and I think it is going great so far.  We have had a ton of positive feedback.  Here are our latest purchases that we are going to redo.

This dresser is already sold and we are going to do a custom finish for our client.  We are going to change it up a little bit to better accommodate what she is using the dresser for.  We are also going to repaint her gorgeous headboard, footboard, and two nightstands to match.  Can’t wait to get started and show you the after pictures!

Our idea on this is to make it pretty girly and possibly paint it a very light pink or white.  Maybe even do a stencil or design on it?  Who knows?!  Any ideas??  I am just excited to have to reupholster something again! (I love doing that!)

Canton, Mustang, and More!

I went to Canton, TX today with some friends from work and, of course, we had a great time.  Who wouldn’t have a great time shopping around and laughing with your friends??  I went with not a single thing in mind and here is what I left with:

I have a bird problem.  This has been established.

I am thinking that I will paint this (not sure what color) before I put it on the wall.  What do you think?

These are super cute gift boxes and wrapping paper that was DIRT cheap!  We all know if there is animal print involved I am there.

I also got some jewelry making supplies that I bought in bulk, which you can’t get anywhere around here unless you go to Dallas Market Center.  So, I was excited about that, but you won’t be excited to see it because it looks boring.  But much needed for making cute stuff!

I have been LOVING my new camera and here are some shots that I took of Jeremy’s ‘new’ 1966 Mustang.  He is actually out in the garage with a friend working on it; imagine that.

Earlier this week I went to my sister’s house to finish working on some more furniture to sell.  While I was there she had a photographer over taking pictures of Lilly and Bella.  I am sure they will turn out adorable and I can’t wait to see them!  Here are a few pictures I got of Bella (Lilly was on a chair get all positioned at the time).  I am also posting some after pictures of the desk.  I don’t have any before.  Sorry!!

Long post with lots of pictures!!
