The new home

We are COMPLETELY done with moving! Riley and I were hard at work all day yesterday and today's result: no boxes to trip over!! YAY!!!
It feels great to finally be comfy in the new house. We still have some things we want to make and hang up but that'll come soon.
Let's take a little tour around our little cozy home, shall we?
The living room:
The view from my craft room




I had to get rid of a lot of books since the bookshelf is smaller than I'd like.

My toys!

The Kitchen:

Our new awesome dish towel from Utilitarianfranchise.etsy.com

My craft room:
(sorry the picture is so dark!)

I'm waiting for the prints I ordered on etsy to arrive, so for now, my wall looks awkward.

The adorable wooden mushrooms were a christmas gift from Riley. He found them at craftsty.etsy.com
And these little crochet cactuses from catzillacrafts.etsy.com have traveled with me through 2 moves! I don't think I can have a house without them!

My sewing corner!

The Bedroom:

My accessories corner.


We also have a laundry room but I'm sure you don't care to see that.
And that's our home so far!

Song on repeat for the week....
I Woke Up Today by Port O'Brien

(Kinda) an oldie but (definitely) a goldie!

How was everyone's weekend?! On Saturday I went to Blue 7 to drop off new owl pillows!! If you live in the OKC area go check them out!

On Sunday, Riley and I woke up early and drove to Enid to start painting the new house that we will move into in about 2 weeks.

We headed to Lowe's to get some paint and ended up getting the same color (aqua glow) that we painted my old craft room/our current bedroom. We just love it too much.


Remember that nasty red & gold combo on the wall? Gone!


The future craft room!

(ignore the blue tape!)

Next we moved on to the future bedroom. This room was a sand color but we decided to use the Aqua glow in this room as well.

So here is the after photo:


I will admit, the first part of the day I was a terrible working buddy. I was busy being grossed out by all the dead bugs (I know, I know) while I was edging. So my mom stopped by and picked me up to run errands and released Riley from my whininess.
After Dinner I stole my mom's cleaning supplies & was ready to work!

Also, yesterday was my first time to use one of those magic erasers. THOSE THINGS ARE MAGIC! I was erasing crayon marks off glass & walls with ease! I was erasing everything! They are truly addicting.
Then after I did some cleaning I got to work on edging again

The last thing we did last night was begin to edge the living room.
Before, it had white walls with a pink tone. It didn't do the room any justice.

Today we woke up early and got straight to work. Our goal was to finish the first coat of the living room.
We are painting this room a soft green called Green Monsoon.

I love the openness in my craft room! I don't think I'll feel alone and claustrophobic in this room.


**WTJ**
I did this a couple days ago!




Be sure to check out Jo's blog to see what she's been doing to her journal!!

Have a fantastic week everyone! Let's finish up February 2009 with a bang!

new home!

Riley and I moved into our new house in stillwater yesterday! I still have a ton of stuff in my old apt. but I'm getting there. I have way too much stuff, I may have to start a sell/donation pile.
I'll take some pictures of the new place once it's more put together. My craft room is a mess right now! I can't wait to get that together!!
