As if finishing the basement isn't enough for us, I decided that I am tired of trying to have family over without enough seating (eating or lounging). SO,,,,a new kitchen table and love seat were purchased (oh, and TV--but that was Chad's thing, not mine). We got rid of some shelves, the entertainment center and rearranged the rest of the furniture. I will now hopefully feel less uptight when we entertain. Chad would love to just get a bigger house, but that's not going to happen, so we make the most of the house we have.

I've never been into vinyl lettering on my walls, but I found the best shop on etsy and decided to give the birdcages a try. (I was nervous, but hey, if I didn't like it I just peel it off and kiss $40 good-bye). Cameron loves them, and has even named the birds: Chewy, Alex, and Marty. (Hey, I'm thrilled if my kids will be happy with vinyl pets)
I really like the cherry blossom branch they have, but it wouldn't have worked.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new kitchen table. It's counter-height and the chairs are cushioned. So much more comfy than a normal table. Spencer was afraid to eat dinner on it. He probably knew I would freak out if he did anything to harm/dent it. (too much pressure for a 3 year old)
Notice the picture collages on the shelf as well----So cute and easy!!!! Definately a Girl's Night Project!!!!!
Can't wait to come and see it!! LOVE the looks of it and I have TOTALLY been eyeballing that same vinyl lettering on etsy. Not sure where I'd put it though....so I haven't bought it yet. I am jealous....I could really use a change.
ReplyDeleteWhat if I liked before better than after? Just kidding. Last year I stimulated the economy by buying a bosch mixer and I love it! Economy stimulation is very rewarding.
ReplyDeleteOH my Kami , I just love your cute house! I love love love the decals on etsy. my walls in my room are all filled up but i wish that i could do those decals, they are amazing. Im glad i found your blog!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have all the new furniture! Way to keep the economy going (we've been doing way too much of that lately).
ReplyDeleteEverything looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteWow I'd say "doing your part to stimulate the economy" your house looks amazing as if it didn't before but wow good job guys! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the table too! You are a creative genius! Good job stimulating the economy too...great excuse.
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so cute!! I remember your first apartment you lived in and that was cute, too. You have definitely got a talent. You'll have to me what to do above our fireplace. It has a 4.5 foot tall niche above it that I have no clue what to put in it. It drives me crazy!
