Loving Anthro

I found the following items on Anthropologie and I'm in love! To purchase them, I need to wait on a sale or win the lotto. Hope you enjoy the beauty also!

Some Places I'm Loving

All pictures were found on Home Sweet Home

This office is great.  Simple, classic, and organized!

Wow...what a day..

Sorry no pictures yet.

Hall bathroom...

• New shower curtain
• Lined drawers and cabinet
• New shelf (put together but not hung yet)
• Painted the old spot from towel holder (previous owners painted around it and left a BIG RED dot)
• Washed new towels and set up bathroom
• Donated old towels

Still to do...

• Hang shelf
• New pictures
• Organize counter space
• ENJOY!!!

Then...the bad part.
I was looking for something, the shed was locked, I called J and he told me to stand on a bucket to reach something.  I stood on a bucket (that was filled with oil) and fell in the bucket.  UGH!  Then while I was rinsing my leg off, the hose busted.

It was rough!

Saving Money...

So we're not having financial problems but I don't want to get there so any way that we can save money I think it's smart to try to save as much as possible.

So here's the things that I want to do/have done...

• Change lightbulbs to energy efficient bulbs
• Turn water heater temp down
• Water heater blanket
• Keep fans on
• Turn a/c up
• Keep a lamp on if needed instead of big lights
• Curtains to keep light/heat out
• Programmable thermostat
• Swiffer more often so less vacuuming is needed
• Wash clothes in cold water
• Hang some clothes on clothesline
• Growing veggies
• Netflix instead of going to the movies
• Cook more!

So far, we seem to be doing pretty good. Hopefully when we see the bills we will see a difference!

Things I'm Loving

So today I'm loving a lot of things...

• My dad--Today he turns 50! I love Mom too!
• Sam's Club!--J and I stocked up the house today!
• Shaving Sassy (I didn't get to do her underside but she loves it and I think it's already cut down on the pet hair tumble weeds)
• My husband--Last night I had to go to a musical performance for school and he came with!  It was a great performance but it was nice that he came also.
• My garden of blooming flowers.  I love all of them.  Some plants my grandmother gave me so I wasn't sure what they would look like and it's a great surprise to see them!
• Cleaning--I've made a list for spring cleaning, I've made a list for things I'd like to do to our house.  And today...I'm cleaning!
• Donating--I'm going through our closet.  It's a horrible process (mostly because I can't fit in a lot of the clothes and I'm just giving them to others)  But they need it.  We're donating to the church so that makes me feel better.
• Getting rid of things--Today I went through the buffet drawers.  It's really a dresser but I refinished it....I went through all 6 drawers and cleaned a lot of stuff out.  I'm working my way around the house!
• Organizing--I started with the freezer, then fridge, then pantry.  Kitchen is done!  Dining room...done!  Living room...done!  Guest bedroom...done!
• Master bath...done but want to add a shelf
• Hall bath--done organizing but want to paint and hang new shower curtain
• Office---It gets done and then I have a project.  I'm determined though.
• Master bedroom---why do I put this off?  Is it because no one sees it?  I don't know but it's the next project!

Wow....a post of nothing, of everything, of me rambling on and on and on some more!

Have a great weekend!

My Target Cart

So there are some things that we want for our house.  Then there are things that we need.  We NEED curtains for the living room and I think I've finally decided on....THESE!

They are greenish/brownish/tanish which would match perfectly.  They have the look of silk but the cost from TARGET.  They also might not get cat hair stuck on them a lot!

Guest Bedroom Ideas

So right now there isn't much going on in our guest bedroom.  I try to make it cozy and comfortable.  There is a bed, side table, small ladder shelf next to the bed, dresser, tv, and small chair.

We were given a painting of the LSU "tiger eyes" and it's over the headboard.  We also have blank walls everywhere.  There is another painting between the hall door and closet door of J's old dog on a leaf and framed. 

My idea is the picture below on the wall opposite of the window.  I think it would look great with pictures of our friends and family since they would be the ones staying in the room! Also with other pictures, some books, and a few other things, not too many family pics!

{Sorry, I don't know where the picture came from}

Master Bedroom Idea

So I've decided...we've got this small wall between the bathroom door and the "nook" area.  I'm going to the frame idea in the picture below.  I'm not sure what types of pictures but I thought something a little different.  It is OUR bedroom so maybe some pretty sexy pictures!  I would love to frame a picture of J's butt even though he would hate it.  Oh well.
 
{not sure where the picture is from...sorry}

New Bedding??

We have light green curtains that would make.  Nothing is wrong with our current quilt which is green but I love these quilts.  Maybe I should look for a new duvet cover?!?  I just like changes sometimes!

I Really Want Somethings

The above picture is from an ebay seller noiseunion who makes these.

Pottery Barn has them and I've been eyeing them for above our couch!!!

This is from Pottery Barn.  I think this is a great idea and I think it might be my next project for my office!!!

This photo "riser" is cool because then you can get effects like these...

This wall is great!!!!  One day, one day!!!


I think these frames are great because they are different and simple while being so pretty and classic!

This is my dream organization system!!!

Some inspiration...

From Lowe's

I love love love the bench with the table.  I'm trying to get J to build one for our table.  It would add 2 more spaces!

From Ligne Roset

So with this one, I love this color and I would really like to paint our bathroom this color.  I also love the shelves.

From Sherman Williams

Find on Craigslist

I found this on Craigslist and I think it would be a great addition but I don't want to spend the money! The things I could do with it!!!

Inspired...

I am in love with this space!  I don't know where the picture came from so I don't know who to give credit to but I think this room is great!!! The shelf around the room is great!!!

Browsing Etsy...

I found this great seller... LullabyLetters on Etsy.  The frames are so cute!
