We will definitely have to get us a zip line! Even the boys enjoyed it!
Now, I have thinking about how to make our house "our own" we literally have not done anything to the outside of it since we moved in about 5 years ago. Our brick is a orangy that I don't care for and as I used to be totally against painted brick, I have a new appreciation for it..done right. So, I ride around taking pics of homes so I can study them , and decide what to do... Out of all the colors I see, I lean toward the creams and light golds as oppose to the greys. What do you think?
Yesterday I ventured out of town to meet up with some friends and head to a fabric 'warehouse' of sorts where all fabric is DIRT CHEAP and fabulous! ( *On the way back, I stopped to meet my internet friend, Amy that has Brownie-Goose! I didn't get to meet that precious baby girl of hers due to naptime, but Amy is a doll and I'm so glad to finally meet her) This is the dress I picked up from her. It's the "Evelyn" dress :)
I have 2 club chairs that were my grandmother's that I was fortunate enough to inherit and they have had their day. The lady that will be recovering them for me can't for 2 weeks so I thought I would go ahead and give you all a peak of what's to come!
FROM THIS:
TO THIS!
Now it's time to do the 8 loads of laundry waiting on me and get this house clean before we leave for the coast! yay!!! Every year as the kids get bigger, it's much more fun. I will be sure to check out the local consignment and thrift stores for furniture treasures!! I'm hooked on re-dos!
