"Working 9-5 what a way to make a living "

It may not be where I sit daily from 9-5 but it's our home office. If you remember my office inspiration from a few months ago, you will know it's not what I would love it to look like but it's functional and pretty nice for now. It's our place we go to do bills, blog updates, Facebook, email, surf, use Itunes (even though my ipod is M.I.A, so sad) ...etc. But as of late it had gotten very messy, so we decided to switch around some furniture and clean it up a bit. Here are some before and afters, like always =)

Here is our desk. A lil messy but it worked...



And the cleaner version. Notice the screen saver? Well that's our wedding rings that I took a picture of on our honeymoon. Love that picture ! Also my "bulletin board" (like I call it), "notice board" (like my friend Jo calls it) or the "inspiration board" like my other friend Kristi calls it, well that also has some goodies on it too. If you look close to the top right, you will see a heart with a bow though it that my husband made for me years ago by bending some wire. So awesome. See that chair we have? Well it was free years ago from someone's garbage ! I love it. Great lines.



This is hanging above my desk, it's a lil inspiration I have to one of my best gals, Kristi. This is our friendship ball that we bought years ago in Florida. She has one too. When she hung her's up like this, it was way more awesome. I also put it with some of my favorite agate slices but now seeing this in a picture, I realize the yarn is gross and I need to re-do this with clear wire... soon.

Here is one side of the office. That bookcase has been in this home and in my family for years. It's been many different colors along the way. I painted the stripes on it and am considering changing the blue stripe to a tan or white. We shall see. I am also thinking of painting the hardware and the filing cabinet you see on the bottom right of the picture.

Here is after, not much changed just a little more cleaned up.




Here is another view of the office. Little mish mosh of things. The lamp was beautiful but never matched in here.


Moved out the treadmill, (to another room people ! Yes ONE day I WILL get on it lol) and switched the lamp to something more suitable. We also moved in a long dresser we had in another room to give our office more work and storage space. (ps don't mind the dust on the dreser, this was before I cleaned)

Here the other side view before, with yet again, clutter. Those are all my craft bins and wrapping supplies.



And voila ! condensed.



So there you have it. This is where many of these postings come from, thanks for looking !

LMFAO I was totally gonna be like "Dude, fishing wire" and then you figured it out all on your own!! You are so good.

Methinks your birthday present (when it finally gets mailed) will be cute in your office!!!!

Also: lately I've been hearing the boards be called "vision boards" and you put up pics of the shit you want for the law of attraction to bring them to you. We should try it!

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.

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!!   It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go.  This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches.  It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room,  was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of some things. As I me

My pregnancy and birth story

  As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight.   Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of a yes and I immediately t
