Well, the new job is taking so much time! It's hard to get things accomplished at work and then come home to the house. We are making progress, though.
My birthday was earlier this month and Jordan took me to Garden Ridge (what I describe as the Big Lot's version of Bed Bath and Beyond) and got some great stuff for our bedroom! We love to travel so we bought some vintage looking trunks to use as nightstands and an awesome mural to use as a head board. It is actually a tri-fold privacy screen, but I think with the right ingenuity it is going to look amazing! We also got some gorgeous lamps. We didn't want the traditional style, so I think these are great.
The mural is a collage of Paris's monuments (Eiffel Tower, Arc De Truimph), plus french postcards and stamps, and the lamps have a fleur de lis carved into the metal... Even though we are trying to go for world travel, the trend right now is for French inspired - fleur de lis, Paris, etc.. so we are starting to get a little over-saturated with the Paris theme. We are going to have to focus on some of our other favorite destinations. It is so hard! The Paris stuff is so cute - and SO plentiful!

Welcome Back!
Welcome Back!
Well, I have been busy over the past 6 months. New house, new job, and no time! A ten or twelve hour work day (well, fourteen hours yesterday), plus long weekends working on the house, my blog has virtually disappeared... My husband and I were talking, last night, about how disappointing it is that we have no record of the journey of our home renovation project. No funny stories in writing, no goofy photos shared with our friends. Just minimal digital photo documentation of befores and afters that will probably forever reside on the camera.
Well, I'm about to change that! So, maybe I don't have time to blog everyday. And maybe I don't have the energy after a long day to compose a thousand words. I can at least add some little snippets of text and a photo every once in a while. Something to record our progress as we work our booties off!
So, to those who followed before, and lost interest as I lost focus, welcome back! I hope you enjoy following our LONG, LONG journey in home renovation.
