In the making

I love doing little things here and there to change a room. Which is exactly what I am doing with our family room. I find myself changing this room the most, most likely because it's the room we are in the most and I get bored quickly. : )

For tonight's project I am doing a quick change to our GW entertainment center (which btw I love thrifted furniture that you don't feel bad painting over whenever it suits you). Since I am going with a black and white theme I decided to add black paint to the doors. I simply removed the handles with a screwdriver and taped the area off that I wanted to paint. I used leftover black paint that we already had, so it literally costed nothing. And viola, this picture is after one coat of paint so stay tuned for finished results!

Its been WAY too long!

Hello Luvs! So sorry it has been way too long since my last post! What can I say? Life is crazy right? Well to wrap up the last few months very briefly…
We found out in Hawaii this past January that I am expecting again! AND we recently found out it's a girl! Let's just say our Evelette is very excited! Oh and of course, so are we ; )
When I finally got over morning sickness, I decided to tackle the project of creating my own website. Which has been recently completed. My business has grown and I am loving every minute of it, while at times it has proven to be a bit crazy it really has been something that has become my passion so feel free to check it out HERE and let me know what you think.
So now that I have wrapped up on that project I have decided to tackle a few home projects because I know that before I know it, baby girl will be here!

So the first project will be changing the drapes in the family room.
My inspiration... from Adore magazine.

I love how they totally make the room and give it that larger than life feeling. I have searched and searched and after reading outstanding reviews about these drapes from Overstock, I think these silk drapes are the ones I'll go with...

So stay tuned for the finished "project" with the 6 panels I have to get it will for sure make an impact.

Our family

Hi Luvs!
I am so excited to show off what I am MOST proud of… my fam! I can't believe how the years have just rolled by with my hubby of 6 1/2 years and how our children are just growing like all get out! I am so blessed, and have no idea why but you can bet I thank God for each and everyone of them everyday because I never want to take them for granted. I do have to remind myself to slow down though because with my work and just with the hustle and bustle of everyday life it is easy to just miss the little things. So I definitely have to stop and smell the roses with them.

So here we all are, hope you enjoy! OH and the pictures were taken on my parents farm by the fabulous Kate Kelly.

Oh and to show some holiday cheer here is a free shipping coupon for you all! Use code FREESHIPPING2 in my etsy shop for a good ol shopping spree!

A peek into what I have been up to

I thought you all deserved a little update on what I have been up too ; )
First off I have lots of new designs in my etsy shop so you should all stop by and take a peek before I run out. This crystal cuff is just one of my new gems…

We finally got our new couch as well. I really could not be more pleased with it! I searched high and low online to see what I loved the most and the best was definitely this white modern take on the classic chesterfield. I found it on Cost Plus and for the price I was sold!

Oh and if you aren't already following me on instagram, you should totally check mine out. I post lots of fun outfits of the day!

Selling our couch and painting with white

Yes this post is pretty much in the title. lol
We are selling our Z gallerie couch for $750 that was originally $2000. It is in very good condition (so please let me know if you are in the PDX area and interested)
I also decided to completely paint the large vaulted room in our home, white. I am excited for it to be clean and bright for the many wet days to come. The key now is to add elements to cozy it up a bit. So stay tuned ; )

New Patio

Remember our mud hole of a backyard?
Well... We finally got it all done! We got our new patio pored and after it dried we ran to Z gallerie and Ikea to pick out patio essentials.

We found this amazing cover at Z gallerie and on sale too!

We also found these amazing candle holders at Z gallerie on sale as well...

We found the table and chairs at Ikea. The table was a floor model so it was on sale as well.

I cannot believe it's all finally finished! It seriously feels like we are on vacation when we go outside. Our own private Haven ; )

New DIY artwork project

I love this dress by Mondo, from Project Runway All Stars, SOOO much that it suddenly crossed my mind, why not make this into my own DIY artwork? He used a form of art called "inkblotting". If nothing else I can say I tried it right?!!!
