Remeber when?

Remember about a year ago when this happened?

You may not because...well, it was almost a year ago.

I posted about m in laws being in town and showed this picture and said, "there will be more to come on this later," and never posted anything.

Long story short, we remodeled out master bathroom, which led into painting out bedroom.  Which led into redecorating our bedroom.  It was a long process because we weren't really sure what we wanted to do in our bedroom.  About 2 weeks ago we finally painted, and started decorating the walls.  I can't wait to show you.  It isn't completely done, so I want to wait until it is all done, but let me assure you...It is my oasis!

Like I mentioned my in laws helped us get started on the bathroom, so we wanted the bedroom to be painted, at least, when they came to visit us last week.

Yup, we just finished up a week visit with Grandma and Grandpa Bobby!  It was so much fun.  (Besides me being in bed all day Saturday with a stomach bug.  Thankfully no one else got it!)
I really do love my in laws and wish we lived closer.  But we don't, so I love soaking up all the time we can when they visit.  So do the kids!   Poor Carys cried going to bed Monday night because they were leaving Tuesday morning.  We will see them again soon though.

All that to say...stay tuned for the finished product of the Bedroom/Bathroom redo!

Weekend News

We had a great weekend!

(Do I say that every Monday?)

Friday the weather turned cold. COLD!

We had already bought tickets to go to the high school football game so we bundled up and headed up to the field.

Of course, we went out to eat before at one of my favorite local places.

We were very cold, but we had a great time with our friends.

I found it very humorous that the high school played against the high school that Ricki, Jeremy and I went to. Big rivals people! It was way better to be sitting on this side of the field!

Saturday, we did some work around the house and then went shopping. We bought this ginormous mirror for above our couch.

You may remember awhile ago I did a post about needing help with my wall color and mantel. Well, Maria from the B.M.C. Report, helped a sister out. She suggested we move the shelves and break up the wall space with a huge, bulky mirror. Rob and I both liked the idea so the work began.

We were up until midnight Saturday rearranging things. I think we have most of it figured out and I love it.

I really want my pictures back on the walls so we need to still work on that.


Here is the fireplace before...

I would say an improvement! A fresh coat of paint, removed the fireplace doors, and added a few things. The mantel is not done. We are going to get a deeper shelf, hang something up and put different things on the shelf. It is hard right now because the shelf is only about 4 inches deep.

Here is the before of the walls...


And the after...

What do you think?
