So, I'm not sure if I'll ever get things caught up or where I think things need to be, but the blog has been neglected and probably will be for a while!
We just got back from taking the seniors on their trip. It was nice to get away and we really did have a good time!Trying on boots with the rest of them...all except me! If anyone knows me well, they know my opinion! HA!

A huge load of trim has been delivered, so whenever life stops and allows me to get it all painted, maybe we'll start seeing some house pictures on here. That is, if I can keep it cleaned long enough! :)

Arilynn was being quiet and we all know what that means...so, I went to check on her. She popped up from beside the lazyboy and when I got there, I noticed a couple of screwdrivers. Then she started swatting at her backside. I asked her if she needed a spanking and she said rather sweetly, "Noooooooo."

Another Corner

So, if anyone walked into my house they would seriously wonder what this girl is thinking! Quite frankly, I wonder that a few times myself! :) I have absolutely no clue what my style is because it's totally different in every room! HA! Add in a bunch of missing trim and unfinished projects and I could be considered quite the decorator! LOL!!
Lovin' my new lamp!!!

Add a Dollar Tree bird, a free dead hydrangea from last year, a Goodwill tray, and some free books from my hubby's junk collection and you have a little corner of my office. Again...please excuse the missing trim! A girl's gotta decorate-priorities first! HA!

Edited to add...

I knew I had bought some chunky frames from Goodwill's half-off day. However, when you move and remodel at the same time, plus add a hubby and a 19 month old who likes to "organize" things for you, it's hard telling where things end up. They were finally rescued and so after a little spray paint make-up, it ended up in the corner as well.
I made the curtains from Jo-Ann's fabric. The reason you don't get to see the whole thing is because I do not consider myself a seamstress and lets just say they're too short! LOL! Guess I should have incorporated help from my Mom and MIL.

Spoke too Soon...

Ok...I got these jars and bath salts on my trip to IKEA last weekend and I'm thinking that maybe they belong in the tray. Keep in mind that this sits next to the tub. So, which one works better?

or neither. I'm a big girl...I can take it! :) (Also thinking about spray painting the stand under the plant.) Please excuse the lack of trim...it's a work in progress.

Slowly, but Surely

A portion of the bathroom...this house is slowly coming along!
