Makeover Monday (on wednesday). The guest room.

Yeah, this is pretty much typical for my life these days...always running a few days behind. Seriously, we haven't had a rest night at home in AGES. We always have SOMETHING to do. I think once we move everything will settle down considerably and I am SO looking forward to that.

Anyways...the guest room. I'm sad I don't have better pictures of this room to show...how will I ever remember exactly how it was? Oh well! This room is already all packed up except for furniture...yep, getting things DONE! The bedroom set, which includes a double bed, chest, and vanity/desk were my great grandmothers. I LOVE this furniture, so antique and so beautiful. I wish I had a close up picture of the detail work...so pretty. HOWEVER, I started using this furniture when I was a senior in college...it has been painted by ME like 4 different times, so now the drawers don't really work all that great from years of paint build up. But, since it is just guest room furniture now...I'm okay with that.

Look how AWFUL those floors looked before we had them refinished! Yuck!
Again, another dark, blah, dingy bedroom.
My after.  Wish is were closer up.  And one of my shelves was messing up above the bed so I had taken it down.  Oops.  Paint color is silvermist by Sherwin Williams, it is a silvery/blue color.   I just love that antique bed.  I will definitely use this furniture again in our next house for the guest room...at least until we need that guest room to be another nursery:) This room housed MANY of guests over its three year existence.  I love that.  We LOVE having guests.  Can't wait to have even more in our next home!

    Love the vintage feel and then with it painted black it makes it more up to date. Looks good!

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
