THE LIST

Okay, so Mike has made the occasional joke about my obsession with lists and I am here today to admit it. I am 100% obsessed with lists. The list is an amazing thing. You can make a list for everything. There is the Target list, the Wal-Mart list, the Hobby Lobby list, the Christmas list, the Birthday list, the chore list, the check register list, the grocery list, the class list, the student expectation list, the todo list, and the LIST goes on and on........

So, in honor of the list....

Im off to Target and Hobby Lobby with my trusty list!

Our home (and life) has undergone a few changes in the last few months. We painted our living room blue, I painted an old trunk, repurposed dining table into an island, got a new dining room table, painted it white and did some other little projects that are still under way! I have always liked to paint but after these projects I am taking a little break...until Wednesday! When Im done, every room in the house will be painted.

Up next...laundry room, apple green! Blogger put all my pictures out of order so I will write a little under each one! Sorry.

We have had SO much snow this year. This is just 1 of the many snowstorms we have had!

Mike doesn't like to get dirty so this picture is A DREAM.

LOVE.

Old Dining Table as Island

Oh, and my pretty black door. That was the worst project ever and still needs to be sealed!


9 months

Im back! It's been 9 months since I last posted on this blog but I'm back! I got sucked into the facebook world and haven't had internet time to devote to this blog. But...I have been diving into decorating my new home and have realized that I spend A LOT of time reading other decorating blogs and feel I could contribute! So, stay tuned for some of my decorating projects!

Don't worry Mom, I will be blogging about personal things too! At least, I'll try!

Blessings!
