Have a Seat

After almost a year and a half of marriage I have finally gotten the house decorating bug.(We can all thank Pinterest for that one.) The first step was to re-paint the hideous walls in the kitchen and living room. Our house had the misfortune of being "decorated" by a Trading Spaces decorator and well there's never been anything on Trading Spaces that wasn't tacky so you can imagine what I was/am dealing with. So two paint jobs, a new rug and a coffee table later my house is finally starting to look inhabited. A few of the projects I'm working on are:

1) Repainting old frames so we can make a wall collage.

I love the organized chaos of it all.

2) Repainting and finding lampshades for some fun vintage lamps my Nana gave to me.

3) Collecting and hanging plates on the wall in the kitchen like this:

4) Technically I'm not working on this one quite yet, but as soon as I find a way to get my chairs to my house I plan to re-paint and re-cover the seats of 7 matching dining room chairs but all in different bright patterns. Somewhat like this:

I can't wait to start working on these chairs. We desperately need extra seating when we have our families over and who doesn't love a fun chair??

Thankfully, I was lucky enough to have someone give me a set of chairs to play with but here are a few of my faves from Etsy that planted the seed in my crafty brain.

Hopefully, I can cram at least one chair in my tiny car this weekend when I swing through my hometown. I can't wait to get started!

Over It

A photo journal of the things I am beyond tired of hearing about. Enjoy.

Kim and Kanye

There can't be more than 10 people worldwide that buy into this relationship.

I have no doubt though that Kanye knows everything about Kim (as she told Oprah). She has a sex tape, a reality show, and a very public wedding/divorce, the whole world knows everything about this moron. And could y'all PLEASE stop wearing those damn leather pants all the time!

Pippa Middleton

The Royal Wedding was fun and all but it's been a year and I frankly don't want to see anymore of Kate's nobody sister (or Kate really, for that matter). Hello! This is America, we've got enough fake celebrities. We don't need to import them.

Reality Singing Shows

American Idol, The Voice, X-Factor etc., I'm talking to you.

Has no one realized that if these "talented singers" were actually any good that someone would've discovered and made them famous already? Do we really need to hear them butcher songs that we love to prove this point?

Tim Tebow

1. Sand is more interesting.



2. Sand is more handsome.

3. Don't even get me started on his anti-abortion commercials with his Mommy.

(When the day comes and men can push babies out of their Britneys THEN he can have an opinion. There are too many different situations that woman get put into (rape, incest, molestation & sex trafficking just to name a few) and as a Christian I would hope he wouldn't pass judgement on things he does not understand. He needs to stick to the things he knows, which is balls, and not make mis-informed political statements.)

Phew, sorry! Got a bit ranty on that one!
