Blog Revamp

I decided it was time for a revamp of my blog. New layout, new background, new tabs, and more pictures and recipes are coming soon.

This blog somewhat reflects my decorating style.....revamps to keep things interesting, always involved in some sort of project, having trouble finishing said project, wishing someone would do it for me, actually finding much satisfaction after completing it myself.

Side Table Splurg

John and I splurged on new side tables yesterday. We found them at this little shop near our church that sells awesome antique pieces, including solid wood furniture. The shop has been there since 1975 and is filled to the max with old, interesting things. We spotted these tables underneath a wicker coffee table and behind an old children's desk (that was totally awesome too). They are in great condition and they have hand-carved details on the front.

Here's a close up of the detailing.

We love our new tables! John loves that they have a drawer. I love that they match our bedroom perfectly and that they look really cool with their antique character.

Next up...curtains in the bedroom. The curtain saga seems like it will never be finished....

I Need Your Help!

I need help figuring out what curtains I should hang in our living room. We have dark bamboo blinds, which I'd like to keep, but I also want curtains. Please help! Leave me a comment with your suggestions. I'd love to get your feedback. And if there's anything else you want to suggest about our living room/dining room, please feel free! :)
