Oh, How Pinteresting! 8/29/2012



   Of course on the second day of school I get strep. Last year I went the entire year (almost) without getting sick. I missed my CrossFit movement class but I did sleep the entire day and I feel much better today. I'm also looking forward to my three day weekend, yay for Labor Day!

me with baby caleb, cannot wait for my nieces to be born!

most of all i am loving the fact that bella bell is acting like herself. she has stitches closing the eye but it's her usual awesome self. we move in two days and our house is a mess. i have started almost all of my diy projects which must be finished in time to move (eek). on top of all the moving they are showing our current house. it's stressful to 'welcome' strangers into this chaotic mess and then wait for them to leave to continue on. i have lots of projects to tackle today so wish me luck!

what are you loving today?

from nothing to something

today i have decorating on my mind. here is a photo of the back of our house, deck is not finished in this photo. our deck is now complete and is an antique white color. i love it. blake is the gardener of the two of us and he asked me if i had any ideas for what i want done. i certainly do! i want color, antique fixtures, funky accents and lots of herbs/vegetables and flowers. i know blake cannot wait to get his hands dirty and really make the new backyard our own.

i do not like buying anything that is new besides clothes. i love going to local thrift and antique stores looking for hidden gems. i often find things that i have a vision for and blake just thinks is junk. lately i have been on the hunt for an old wheel barrow and old window panes. some places have the items marked for a ridiculous price and i have learned to haggle. i love it! i also have had some luck with craigslist.

i will go by the house later to update the blog with more photos, until then here are some garden inspirations...

window pane dividers (love!)

old bed frame turned garden

boerne market days

what a wonderful weekend my husband and i had. every second saturday & sunday in boerne is called market days. it's a chance for many different stores, boutiques, food carts, and artists to come to our town, set up booths and display their items.

blake & i have always enjoyed this certain collector & designer. today we found these two incredible items and fell in love. blake is so wonderful about my unique and vintage taste. he appreciates my passion for birds, turquoise, and cottage like things.

this weekend was wonderful, i cannot wait to start the week and continue on this beautiful journey with my sweet husband, blake. i am so proud of him & love him so.
