The Kids

Mo and Zoe were begging for their picture to be taken - so this is what I got. Zofia has food in her mouth - of course! When my parents were here in Aug my mom brought rollers and set the girls hair! I don't have such fond memories of my mom doing this to me every Sat night!

Orange Room

I debated a long time about this wall color. I do love it. I need the right fabric for curtains and the room will really feel good to me. One would think I could find something in the new fall fabrics - but I don't really want something with leaves on it!

Girls' Room

I saw this done in a coffee shop and it was way more complicated and nicer, but loved the idea. This vase came from the dollare store and I just hung it with a ribbon. It was more charming when the flowers were alive!
My grandmother bought this doll when she was 16! I love having this old doll and carriage. The dresses hanging on the walls were made mostly by her and some by my mom when I was little for my own dolls. Memory lane! Wonder what my kids will be displaying that I have made. Hmmm.I painted and stenciles Moses old dresser for the girls' room. I also put their initials on their bed frames instead of the wall. Gives them a little custom look.


Moses' Room

It felt a little boring painting Moses' room all blue and I may change it again, but this looks good with the red. I love the old jars on his red shelf and the quilt made by Josh's mom. I need a new curtain idea and until then this is fine. The blue in his room is a little darker than this actually appears.

Baby Chicks

Breanna got to bring baby chicks home from school one night. I must have counted and recounted 50 times. I was so worried they were going to get out. The kids thought they were the cutest things ever. This is as close as they get to owning a pet!
