Junk Collecter to Eventually Arilynn's Room

The room we're working on now has been our storage unit. Things we didn't know what to do with were piled in there! They are now piled throughout my house while I figure out a solution. Needless to say, it's a disaster here. My husband has no idea what it's like to live in a clean house and quite frankly it's getting on my last nerves. Sigh...we'll get there, I suppose.

Can you say disgusting?

Yanking down the trim that didn't match.

It is still far from perfect!!!!! The walls are not at all solid in this room, but it'll have to do.

I painted it a very pale pink. It will eventually be Arilynn's Shabby Chic big girl room.

Next project for Wes. Not something I'm going to attempt.

Oh, and we're having another baby in case anyone missed that! :) 

Absence Excuse

The reason why not too much blogging has been happening..LIFE!

Fall Fun

Arilynn loves playing with Annalissa

1, 2, 3!!!

I'm in a blog slump. I'm not a writer, so if I don't have any pictures, I don't feel I have a post. Just been trying to keep up on all the fall activities around here.

We did have our baptism yesterday and my pastor just about drowned me. An inch of my forehead didn't get wet, so he shoved me back under! I'm totally scared of my head under water, so needless to say I about hyperventilated! That's for real! So, my head went back under and my feet went up in the air. The verdict is out on whether I've forgiven him or not. ;)

Newest Find

A Steal

"It's really old!" was the man's reply as I chased him down in GW! 

I saw him coming out of the back doors with it on his dolly. Could it be? I literally just about jumped up and down trying to get my husbands attention to get there. Pronto. 

No? Fine, I'll stalk him myself. And, I did! LOL! I turned and was right behind him peeking over his blue shirted shoulder trying to find the price tag! 

"Where do I fit this?" he mumbled to himself. By this time, Wes finally got my vibes and came up the aisle. 

"I might want it!" 

Price tag...CHA-CHING!!!!! 

Wes-"How much?"

He didn't act overly excited, but my stomach was crawling with butterflies!! I've been wanting one of these forever! Secretly, he was excited, but I think he was acting nonchalant so they wouldn't jack the price up when they found out I was getting it for at least $250 less than I normally see them. 

They marked it an "old dresser."

(This house has seriously crookeditess!!! Thus, the props).

How about a pie safe for $49.99????? Can I get a WHOO-HOO?!?!? 

True it doesn't have the tin on the doors, but for me...it's perfect! 

Add some fall decor...

...and the corner in my dining room has been filled!

(With exactly what I had wanted, but knew there was no way I would be able to afford one. Isn't God good?)

I'm thinking that I may add material behind the doors so I can hide junk in there. Not sure yet...

So, are you tired of seeing these sweater candle holders yet? Seriously, it took all of 5 minutes to make all of these! Soooooo easy peasy! And, cheap! :)

How cute is this Dollar Tree pumpkin?
