When we left Vermont we sold most of our furniture. Most of it was stuff we bought when we got married 7 years ago, and it wasn't quality. We bought a nice couch, but it turned out to be uncomfortable, huge, and heavy. We sold that, too. All of our bookshelves were from IKEA, and we loved them, but after 3 moves, we knew they wouldn't make a fourth, especially ...

When I pin on Pinterest I really try to make sure it's something I might actually do. There are so many recipes, house ideas, etc that I would never make, do, or implement. So I try to keep my pins in the realistic realm. When I saw the ruler growth chart I knew it was something I wanted, but I thought I'd have to have someone else help me or ...

Somewhere on the World Wide Web (don't hear that much anymore, do ya?) I saw someone using a cake plate to hold their "stuff" from their sink. You know the stuff, sponges, steel wool, soap, etc. In our last house it would've just taken up counter space, which made no sense to me. However, in this house our sink is on the corner of the house, so we have quite ...

It's been a while since I've shown you any updates on the house. Mostly because we haven't done much. We still need bookshelves in our living room. We still need to figure out a storage solution and a master plan for the play room/guest room. So not much has happened.
I did find a bedspread for Baby Girl's room, though, and it makes the room pretty adorable!
First, here's what it looked ...

When we moved in I had big dreams about my BIG pantry. Maybe it isn't big to some, but to this girl, it's huge! Now, let me start by saying that in an ideal world I would go to the store and buy some fantastic and matching containers. I love the OXO pop canisters. However, they are a little (okay, a lot) out of my budget. So my man and ...

I'm not a huge fan of our sink. I've always had deep sinks and this one is kind of shallow. The faucet we had didn't work well, so the first time I did dishes I got soaked from the water splashing all over! I told my man we could get a new faucet or he could do dishes. Guess which happened? :)
The pictures are terrible (again)! I forgot to get ...

Before we left Vermont, we sold our sofa. I loved the look of it, but it wasn't comfortable. We bought a sleeper sofa because we didn't have a guest room in our condo. It met our needs, but we definitely weren't paying to move it to Texas. The living room here is big, so I set my sights on a sectional. I wanted leather or microfiber. I drooled over one ...

We will be SLOWLY working through the house to get it how we want it. I'll share things as we go. I'm trying to get before photos so that I'll have them when I show the after photos. We don't have any room completely done yet, but we're getting there.
Here is today's project:
We have a closet in our living room. It's a dream for me! I HATE having toys out. ...
