Gwen's room update

If you've remodeled before you're thinking; "oh yes-I can see the progress-let me visualize a dainty little girls room-what lovely lighting"

if you haven't you're thinking; "dear God what a heinous mess what on earth are they thinking"

Its coming along...not quite as slowly as our bedroom - but I'm still learning how to cope with live in construction...its like an obnoxious guest that trails sheet-rock dust, stays for too long and doesn't even say thank you...

Heres a little bit of the wallpaper we found-I kind of like this one! I wish I had though of it before and saved some from the other room and then maybe I could do something interesting with it- oh well I'll just start now!

Project Restyle

In case you haven't heard of it Project Restyle is something Elsie from a Beautiful Mess cooked up-Since the premise is something I do all the time anyway it seems only natural I join! here is my latest overhaul-Gwens little table and chairs needed a facelift to match her new room! (which I promised pictures of...)
a bit of sanding so the paint sticks

easy peezy spray paint!

and a vinyl tablecloth! (@target)


I just love the color combo!

Happy Birthday to my Little one!!

I'm sure this is super boring to those of you without children-but indulge me-

Gwenyth turns 3 today!! It goes by so fast...Add ImageAdd Image

I'm so thankful I've been blessed with her:) Her party theme this year is Alice in Wonderland! I've already spent a ridiculous amount of time on her invitations and its going to overkill like always but I really enjoy it! I'll share pictures of all the things I'm planning soon!

little changes

I've been playing with different textures in our living room and am really liking how its turning out...I have 4 pillows that I plan to re-cover before I show pictures of the whole room-it needs some color!

Wishlist Wednesday!

Its been a while since I did one of these!

Lets start off with my latest obsession:
Cathrineholm enamelware


too bad this stuff is so pricey! Keeping my eyes open

2. I'd love to have a collection of vintage valentines to display


found here and here

3. this stuff


I used to own a bottle but the lid cracked and it spilled everywhere (packaging FAIL>:/)
I really should replace it-gives just the perfect amount of color


4. While I was on the Benefit site I saw these little makeup bags-and I looove them!



5. I've been searching for vintage wallpaper for a project and these designs are making me drool!





Hope you had a lovely week (the half thats past anyway!) I have to say I'm looking forward to a weekend at home with my Loving Man and Little One:)

Fancy Friday!

I LOVE skinny jeans-but I'm dipping my toes back into the wide leg jean. I got these at Ross for $12 or so and am still deciding how I like to style them...
Ideas?
That little guy is my new favorite owl! Hes cute in an ugly kind of way!

Have you any idea how hard it is to braid a curly head of hair?



This is my cowgirl! She asked for braids "like Jesse" from Toy Story and then she spent most of the afternoon reciting Jesse's lines...verbatim...maybe we should give that movie a break?
