All On My Own!

Some of you know, some of you don't that my daughter Molly was my ghost writer from the inception of the blog.  She was in her senior year at the University of Texas at Austin and was only taking 3 hours and nannying part-time, so she was looking for a project.  She came up with the idea that it would be fun to have a blog about the new house.  I would send her pictures and words with the pictures and she would blog.  Then she graduated and got really busy with WORK!  Before she went back to Houston after Christmas, she uploaded the Home Tour pictures for me.  So this post, will be my feeble attempt to do it on my own!

One of my favorite things about this house is that you can see the kitchen when you walk into the house (that can be good and bad!).

  I loved at Christmas, the Merry Christmas Banner that you could see right when you walked in, but of course, we have to simplify after Christmas!  The tulips below, were purchased for New Year's Eve.  They have been fun to look at as I have gotten used to the cleaner look again.



Alas, as they are about to go in the trash, I am happy to have the ivy topiary and the Blue and White Happiness Pot I purchased at Wisteria outlet over the Holidays.  I always hate to take Christmas down, but love simplifying once I do!





Lately

Happy Weekend! 

Here's what has been going on in our house lately:

We had a built-in ironing board in our last house, so the small ironing board I bought for us to use in this house just wasn't cutting it. Rodney installed a regular ironing board in the back of our closet earlier this week.


The chairs we have in the two corners our foyer (to use for additional seating when people come over) were painted last weekend with the wonderful help of my parents with a gray-blue paint finish and recovered with new fabric.



Finally, the bedside pine table in our master bedroom was also repainted with a beige-gray finish and switched sides of the room to make room for the new dresser. The before picture of the natural pine is pictured below on the left, with the new finish pictured on the right.


Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
