Play Room/Guest Room Update

Published by Megan on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 12:12

This post was supposed to go up last week, but a bout of the flu had me out of commission for a few days. Better late than never, right?


Remember back to this post about our plans for the play room? I added this image from A Perfect Playroom as inspiration in that post:

Living Room Fun

Published by Megan on Mon, 01/16/2012 - 12:14

I have a long blog entry about the play room and guest room written up and waiting for the last few photos to be taken and uploaded. I've already been working on it for the better part of a week, so I'm anxious to get it up and running soon. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow I will have the opportunity to get those photos and can finally hit 'POST'.

A Plan for Valentine's Day

Published by Megan on Mon, 01/09/2012 - 13:55

Looking back, it seemed like last year I had all these great ideas for the holidays months in advance, but when it actually came time to celebrate the holiday I hadn't implemented most of my plans. This goes along with my New Year's Resolution of utilizing the ideas I pin on Pinterest. Read more about my New Year's Resolutions here.

Our Holiday Decorations from 2011: Kitchen & Dining Room

Published by Megan on Sun, 01/08/2012 - 20:07

The kitchen and dining room were definitely less decorated than the living room, but still added to the Christmas feeling in our house. I kept things pretty simple - In the kitchen, I put up evergreen and winter berry branches above the upper cabinetry and a Christmas cookie jar I got from Ben's cousin on the counter. The cookie jar is cute - it is red with snowmen and snowflakes on the front. I also had a green candle on top of the stove, but just before the new year we burned it all the way down and I just put a candle I had on hand to replace it for the photo.

Our Holiday Decorations from 2011: Entry Way & Living Room

Published by Megan on Tue, 01/03/2012 - 12:12

When we first got married, I purchased an entire set of red and silver ornaments and trinkets to decorate the house with for Christmas. I have been trying to get Ben to cave and let me buy some different color combinations to mix it up every year, but so far I haven't had any luck. I think it would be really neat to be able to distinguish years by color schemes:
*Red & Silver (already done)
*Silver & Gold
*Green & Silver
*Green & Gold
*Red & Green

New Year, New Resolutions

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!


With the new, fresh start that 2012 brings, it's time for me to make a few changes! Obviously toward the end of 2011 I started neglecting this blog, but I also neglected a few other interests of mine that I really need & want to get back to now. So, I thought I should put a list of my goals for the year together, and then write out what I currently have in the plans to ensure that things are taken care of over the next 12 months ( & hopefully beyond! )
