Settling in

It's taken a couple of painful weeks, but I finished unpacking the last of our boxes and put some final finishing touches on most of our place tonight. Nothing too fancy but I've been able to spruce up the look of our living room with a couple of new (and chic) little floor lamps and a new desk. I'm debating on painting accent walls. Sure we'll only be here for a year, but a couple of accent walls can be done quickly, affordably and add so much to a space. We'll see.

I'm always trying to keep my eye open for a really great steal on a sweet piece of furniture, decor, or jewelry. I'm not one to constantly shop for or spend money on these types of things unless I find something that I absolutely LOVE. Good thing matt's eyes fell upon this little beauty:

I'm really into tables with benches and tall bar chairs right now so this was love at first sight. Not only was it perfect for our little place, but it also comes with a leaf for our future home and family. I really wanted to invest in a NICE table so that I wouldn't have to worry about buying one later, so this worked out really well. Not only does it meet our needs but we got it (brand new) for a STEAL(thank you Labor Day sale)! If you want specifics let me know, but prepare to be shocked.

A few more recent purchases I'm loving at this moment include:

These little guys...

Fabric earrings

Stud Owl earrings

And these big guys:

Trust me. They were not cheap;)

Happy fall to all, and hopefully I can keep up with the bloginsky.

cheers!

Starting over

I'm not sure if it's because I make a lot of mistakes, or simply because I become bored easily, but there is just SOMETHING about starting over/something new and different that gets me giddy!!!! I'm so excited for a new school year (both at the U and at my work)! New clients, new classess and lots of fun/crazy little preschoolers to chase around. And to add to all of the excitement we are moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I am currently a VERY happy individual. We are moving to a really cute apartment complex in murray which means matt and I don't have to drive an hour (4x a day) to get to and from work and school anymore:) Saturday is the big moving day and boy, do we have A LOT to do. As of this moment I constantly have painting, cleaning, packing, and planning therapy going through my head, but it will all get done somehow. anywho just wanted to share the happines!

peace & love,
