one year...really just 6 months

Man, I have never been more anxious to write this post.  Things seem to be moving along at our house. I love it when we get to do things to our house.  It drives me bananas that I decorate/design people's living spaces and I can't do my own for various reasons.  However, with a lot of prayer my business is picking up which means more gets done on our house.

Kelby has really been working hard.  He has painted doors, fireplaces and has helped prep walls and he really hates to paint.  He always tells me that I am way better at painting.  So besides all the painting of items we are finally getting a mirror for our almost complete guest bathroom, yay! I am hoping to get it by the end of the week. Then the vanity is going to get a little faux paint job and then it will be complete.  Next, we ordered pendants for our den.  I wish I could get a picture but the company is not online. They are very simple clear glass pendants with round bulbs.

I have been working on completeing Lincoln's bedding.  I was super excited and sad that I found at Broomcorn's closing sale more fabric that matched his sham. With the extra fabric I found at Broomcorn I made Lincoln's bedskirt which was completed tonight.  I am thinking new storage for his toys that just hang out, new light fixture and possibly window treatments.  One day his bedroom will be complete.

And lastly Kelby ripped down all the paneling in our guest bedroom.  Our house is pretty noisy and paneling sure does not help, especially when guests want privacy. Of course rugs would help solve the problem as well but we decided sheet rock and some insulation would be great. The paneling is everywhere den, hallways, kitchen and guest bedroom (until now).  I have some paint colors in mind so hopefully I will be selecting one soon.  We are definitely still going to have to get a rug and since I do what I do selections are in the process.

 Nursery Room #2!

Yes, you read correctly there is another "bun in the oven."  We are very excited and obviously trying to get some things accomplished before the next little one arrives.  Baby #2 (the bean) will make his/her debut January 2014.
