A House into A HOME!

So exciting!  This week we made so much progress on the house.  We got our brand new FLOR runner for the hallway…so cute!  If you haven't heard of FLOR, you should check it out, especially if you have pets.  They make single carpet tiles to design your own rugs and they are easy to pick up a clean instead of replacing an entire rug.  We now have 2, and love them!

Look how pretty!

We also went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and got some new lamps.  And finally got to pick up a picture that I took a while back and just got it framed for the guest room.  We are making the guest room have a Texas theme…trying not to go over the top, but I think it's turning out pretty cute.

                                 This is the banjo and cactus in the guest room! 

                        This is the ALMOST finished headboard for the guest room!

                                                  The guest room progress!

We will hopefully be finishing up the guest room shortly after I get back from Texas, and then we will almost be done! Thank God!

We bought some guitar hangers to finally hang up our guitars.  We have 6. They look so good on the wall now and off of the floor!

It is fun to decorate together and make everything homey, but it's also a lot of work and adds up quickly.  Fingers crossed I will have success trying to find a job when I get back from Austin.  I am ready to start working…I think.  It's hard for me to not work.  I haven't been jobless for very long since I was 15.  I am just the type of person that has to work and be busy.  It's also pretty difficult to not work when Seth works so much…gets pretty boring.  

 I will keep you posted about the Austin trip!

With Love,

Deanna

Picture This

        Hey Y'all! I haven't had too much going on this week…but I'm trying to stay busy!  Seth and I have been trying to do some shopping for the house this week and we've been a little unsuccessful.  We are trying to find a new dresser for our master bedroom--apparently we have a lot of stuff and can't fit it in the closet or the current dresser.  We are specifically looking for a white lacquer dresser that is at least 5 ft. long, 2.5-3 ft deep, and 3-4ft. tall.  Apparently no one else wants a cool dresser like that because we can't find one.  Boo.  We have found some contenders that might work, so I'll keep you posted when we decide!  We are also looking for a desk to put in the closet, yes, the closet.  My sweet husband has decided that he will put a desk in the closet of the office for his computers and "stuff" and I can have the main office for my desk, scrapbooking, and craft stuff :)   I cannot wait to get the room finished!  We currently have an entire wall of floor to "almost ceiling" bookshelves and they are almost completely full of books.  We LOVE books.  

           Ahh I am so anxious to get the office finished….and all of the other rooms too.  I keep seeing people posting pictures of their homes and I can't wait to share ours.  

            I am so anxious to share, I have decided to share with you the current project we have started.  This is our new collage wall.  The pictures on the wall are all going to be black and white or sepia family photos.  We are so in love with vintage things and we have been so lucky to find all of these old photos of our family members.  We will also include a few photos that we have taken on our photo adventures.  All of the frames we have also collected over the past year from antique stores, garage sales, and family.   I will be sure to post pictures when we are finally complete!

I will start posting progress more regularly so be sure to check back in!

With love,

Deanna
