A little project!

I decided to give my laundry/mud room a makeover, it was time consuming but I am so happy with the results!  I want to get a few knick-knacks to go on top of the washer.

Before this shelf was always filled with clutter!

During the process (it did take about 6 hours with 2 people working just FYI) I got my stencil here for about 20 bucks!

After...

I plan on ordering this pendant lamp to complete the room!

*Next up stenciling my pantry!!!

OOTD- I am not a Sailor, but I might be a home owner soon!

Yesterday we signed the papers and our new house is being built!!!  If everything goes through as it should *fingers crossed* we should be moving this summer sometime.  I think I am a little nervous to get my hopes up because we have had so many things go wrong in the past.  I am so excited but kinda sad because I seriously live in the best neighborhood in the entire state of Utah, and will deeply miss so many amazing friends I have made here (we are only moving 15 minutes away so it's not that bad.)  My mom taught me to 'bloom where you are planted' so I have high hopes that I will feel the same way about where I live in a year.  Yesterday to sign the papers I dressed as a sailor...

Here is a picture of our house *almost* we changed the outside a bit by making it two different shades of grey, adding more stone and making it a 3 car garage.  We also are building on a hill and have an amazing view of the valley, which gives us a walk-out basement.  I am so excited and will show you pictures of the progress as it happens!  

It will have 5 finished bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, ahhhh room to put all my crap!  I cannot wait to join the club and finally become a homeowner!!

I truly feel blessed to have a hardworking husband who is making this all possible, and a sister who is such an amazing home decorator *and when I can afford it will help me make it look so cute!*

Mother's Day re-cap!!

I don't mean to be a braggy-braggerton yes I do ;) !   I wanted to share with you some of the great gifts my sweet hubby got me...

Something for the new house (that we have not finalized so no announcement yet... hopefully soon:)
It will stay in the box until we move (if we ever move, I thought we were moving last year if you remember!)


A little something from Anthro...
(very pretty staying in the box until we move fo-sho!)


Drum roll...

My bag!!!  Ain't she purdy?  I think so and am in mad love!

And of course... flowers!!!  I love hydrangeas and these could not be more beautiful!

I hope all of you lovely ladies had a wonderful Mother's day!!!
