For Pete's sake whatever you do...

Don't call it a "MAN CAVE !!" He hates that term. He = my husband of course. Literally cringes when people call it that, he prefers it to be simply called his den. We seem to each have a den of our own, just worked out that way. Mine is girlie and fancy, and his is down right manly and ready for football.

See this pillow proves it's ready for football at any time !

This the view when you walk into the room. The painting we found in Home Goods for a steal. It's so awesome !
Same area but the before. Not even the true before but you see the progress.


Another view. His bookshelf. Yes, you see some super heroes in it, we all need some kind of fun in our life. The bookshelf was framed out by my husband and his father. What was there before was a very deep closet. It needed to match the other cut out in the room where we put the bar, so after a little framing it was done.
Yes those are snowboards too. My parents live in PA and my husband takes advantage of the fact they live only 10 minutes from the trails.

A little close up for you.

Here is the before on how it was framed out. Just to give you a visual of how it was done. I am sure I have a true before of this side of the room. I'll have to dig it up somewhere.

Here another view, showing our bar. My husband fit all of the shelving and the lighting himself.

A close up for ya !

And one more view ...
Here is a clock that he bought me for our first anniversary. The modern version of the 1st anniversary gift is clocks. I love it. And I love when his best friend visits he gets such a kick out of it too !

Here is a close up of our version of the bulbs they were selling at Anthropologie years ago. You can also see how we painted the drop ceiling trim. My idea ! My husband was a little hesitant of it, until he saw the final project of course. He should always listen to me =).

Here are the original ones that Anthro was selling. Pretty similar right?
And one last view of the finished room. That globe holds liquor in it too. Super awesome. I did a picture collage for the room of all football scenes. There is also a canvas that has the word "Faith" cut out and superman comic book cut outs behind it. I should have taken a close up but if you double click the picture you can see it all.

And I leave you with the little scary before... the true before =).

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...

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 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 ...
