Yea my office decor is lame...

Our office now is kind of not my style... but we make due. It's kind of the room where I picked out a desk that matched some of our current furniture to put in there with other things we have... including a dusty treadmill (I will get on that machine, I will get on that machine lol.) We then painted the room a BM blue and called it a day.

The only thing I did do to make it sort of what I want was stripe paint a bookshelf... here is an older pic of it, but at least it shows the color of the room too. (we donated that large stereo just recently), I guess once I do what I want in there we will re-stripe again.


<---- This pic makes me realize we need a new camera asap !! (or Jonsey Cleopatra or Kristi can come over and shoot pics of my house already with their fancy darn cameras !!)

Between work and the end of my semester of school nearing, I feel a bit overwhelmed, but when I can breathe again, (probably July whew)... I plan on repainting the office (and some other projects up my sleeve.) Here is some inspiration to go on...

I especially love these two pictures. I love the color of the walls. The desk color and carpet color in these pictures are similar to what we have now.




This is very cool too, if I decide to change our desk to a white one.




And if I feel ambitious enough I may just do this too. I found it on one of my favorite blogs http://jonesdesigncompany.com/create/painted-wallpaper-how-to-share-your-project

We have a very large wall we can do this one. So much work but maybe worth it. I already printed the template just in case ...





And of course I will have to get one of these from http://www.madebygirl.com/

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Noah's dedication

A month later and I've finally gotten around to posting about this amazing day. Originally Mr. B and I wanted to have the dedication at home, but we opted to have it in a restaurant instead. Less clean up, less set up and less stress ! We went to one place and fell in love with it. We booked it on the spot. Here is what it looks like inside, if you know me in real life, you know this is 100% my style. I looked online for a while to find the right invite. Most websites are pre printed invites that all said "Baptism or Christening".... it was hard to find one that actually said or allowed me to write dedication. I went with the good old staple, Vistaprint. I also designed labels there as well. Below you can see both. The cake was something I wasn't 100% sold on since we really didn't need one because there was a dessert buffet. But I figured for picture use, it would be good.... hindsight, I have one picture of it !!! Waste of money, although the cake was del...
