Kitchen Island Light

Here is a look at the island light I ordered today for the kitchen.  It is coming along nicely.  I really hate being in a construction zone in the heart of the home, but it is going to be EPIC.  I can't wait for the finished product, it is like waiting for Christmas.  Our old kitchen was 80's style. 
Here is a pic of the new island light.

Gotta Love Craigslist

We needed to get a dresser in the worst way for our son Noah.  I didn't want to buy a new one, because of the cost.  I searched on craigslist for about 2 weeks when I saw the one we got.  It was an oak dresser painted blue with nice pulls on it.  It was only $30.00.  It goes perfect with his car themed room, and is so spacious and nice.  AWESOME!

Tile Choice

Here is a sneak peek at the tile we picked out for our back splash in the kitchen.  It is the bomb.

I don't know if you all watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, if you don't you are missing out.  The point of why I mentioned it is because the new restaurant SUR that Lisa Vanderpump opened is so fabulously decorated, so is her house.

Oh my, the fabulousness!

Christmas Time

I know I am a little late at sharing this, but was busy with little ones.  I must say I wasn't that big of fan of Christmas decor this year.  I feel like our house is too small for a Christmas tree in the living room.  It was actually super annoying.  I wanted to keep the tree retro, so we went with colored big bulb lights, garland, and tinsel.(yes I said it)  When it came time to put up the tinsel it was great, the kids were just chucking it on there.  It was a great memory, but after that it was nothing but a big mess.  Here are some pics.

Yes that beauty above is me new record player, love it!  It was a great Christmas, and it was great taking all that Christmas stuff down in the morning and getting back to normal.

Copy Cat

I wanted to take a try at this project I saw on Living with Lindsay.  I had some open frames already hung, I just went down to my hoarders storage room in the house and found a couple of frames to make it more 3D.  I love it!

In picture number two you can see the fabulous turquoise vintage lamp I got a few months ago. 

I am so psyched! We are ordering our new tile for the kitchen today.  Tom and I agreed on one, and of course it's more expensive than we wanted, but it's perfect.  We are trying to keep this kitchen makeover under $1500.00, we will see how it goes.
