While our bedroom is (still) getting the Heidi Montag treatment our living room got a little face lift of its own:)
its amazing what a rug will do-we got this one at IKEA-for $20!

we also got new curtains! I love the cross-hatch patten on them:

Subtle, slightly retro-they're perfect

Sometimes a little tweak is all you need-it will do for now:)

Our bedroom? So close I can TASTE it! Soon soon soon I'll have pictures!

Wishlist Wednesday-sort of

in lieu of my usual wish list I instead want to just say-I am incredibly, abundantly, filled to bursting, blessed! Our new bedroom is ALLLLLMOST finished - we just have to spackle the trim and give it one more coat of paint and then give the floors one more coat of polyurethane and then we can move our stuff in and I get to DECORATE!! I cant wait! I also got to take a trip to Ikea to get our closet organizing system with I am SO SO SO excited about! My Lovin Man and I will be putting it togerther tonight! I also got to get a few extra things too-new curtains and some decorative things:) They didn't have the nightstands we wanted in stock so I'll be making another trip soon to pick those up too!

I'll be sharing more detailed pictures once everything is set up!

Fancy Friday!

Texas. November. High of 82.

This state always misses the memo that its fall-time for cooler weather! Oh well-I did have a gray cadigan over this earlier in the day-but 82 is really not sweater weather....

HAPPY FRIDAY!

the ZOO!




We got to go to the Zoo last Friday! The best part was the elephant who's trainer asked to trumpet for us-what an amazing sound! The Lions and Tigers were sleeping so that was a little disappointing-but the Jaguar was VERY active-he was stalking a bird in the cage next to him
Gwen did have some meltdown moments :/ but after we got over that we had a great time!

Normal


I finally dyed my hair:)
I LOVE it-I finally feel like myself again...

russian stacking doll fingernails!




inspired by all of the amazing pictures of Russian stacking dolls I looked through yesterday(for my wishlist) I had a little fun with my fingernails:)
painted all over with Revlons 'make mine mango'

a small circle in OPI's Bubble Bath


added a french tip in Sinful Colors 'Ruby Ruby' and using a pin, a little detail in Sally Hansons 'mellow yellow'


a little more detail in Sally Hansens 'gray by gray'


then dipped the pin in black and made the little face!


I'll admit I used a hair dryer to speed up the drying process but they're so cute it was worth the time:)
