Shoey's New Favorite Song:

She actually sings the chorus! 

*Hopefully a video is coming soon!*

What's New:

Houston: We have a bathroom door!

I'm on the verge of having an idea for the glass in these Tardis doors...
I DO really love these doors, they look like they belong in this house!

 Kitchen curtains!

We're "embracing" the florescent green!

• We survived our first week (4 days) of living while Marc is away on business. It went pretty well!
• Have I mentioned I love old houses?! 
• I think it's time to paint the second living room!
• I had my first Thirty One party and it was CRAZY! (in a good way) 
• Baseball practices have officially started...DRATS...or, I mean, Yay!

Before & After: Living Room Addition

Before:

GOLD!!
(you can see a little the beige ceiling in this one)

Fixing holes and corners

After:

Complete

So.much.sun. (not complaining)

I made these!

Gallery wall, a work in progress.

Because of the sun the lighting is a little weird in most of these pictures. But, the "gallery wall"  is actually the closest to the actual color. I love how it turned out! And trust me I had my doubts, especially since I picked out the wall color MONTHS before I picked out the curtain fabric, etc. But I'm really, really happy! Isn't it amazing how much difference a little paint can make?! Now on to the next living room...

It's Happening...

The first living room has a nice beige ceiling! It, however, looks hideous with the gold walls. :-) And yes! You did read that right. I, Korleen, bought my very first gallon of beige paint. I'm not sure how I feel about it. :-) Just kidding! It's going to look amazing! I'm excited because I have a ceiling tall enough that I can paint it any color other than white! And so it begins. 

There's a long road of painting ahead.

The Mama files: I think..

..18 months is the best age of all! 

The red boots that go with everything!

I love this picture! 

EVERY.single.thing about it! 

I feel like there's so much of our story in this mess!

Haphazardly disregarded snow gear, 

Xavier's catch all bag, 

toys,

Leia's packed sleepover things,  

and a sweet little baby girl traipsing though the middle of it all! 

That IS our life! 

I'm embracing it!

I hope you're doing the same!
