Home Sweet Home- Part 2

Okie Dokie, here is the rest of the house! enjoy!

Our Bedroom. Don't mind the huge tan square in the corner- it's the dog kennel!

My vanity. It is the antique sign in table from our wedding!

As I have recently become obsessed, literally OBSESSED, with anything bird-ish, I made this artwork to hang above our bed. I decided to do our room in a bird theme- hence the pictures, bedspread, and hanging birdcage. Seriously though, when did bird stuff get so darn cute!

Hanging above the bathtub. Another piece I made, its owls! :)
The bathroom. Nothing fancy here.
Kyle's "Man Cave." Dare I enter?
And I thought my desk was messy. The deal is I can do whatever with the rest of the house and he will help me clean; however, I am forbidden to touch the man cave!
The guest bedroom- our old stuff.
And the guest bathroom. I took this picture so you can see both walls (using the mirror)!

So that is it! Home sweet home! Hope you enjoyed my little tour!

Home Sweet Home- part 1

Err... so I just published this whole post and it somehow disappeared... weird. Here we go again.

Kyle and I were lucky enough to get to move into a rent house this summer. It is still in Austin, but only 4 minutes from Kyle’s school and 35-ish minutes from mine (I think I got the good end of the deal-NOT!). We are enjoying the house so far although there is still a lot to do!

This is the living room. We got new furniture- which is comfy to take a nap on!- and a rug. However, the rug is in hiding due to puppy control (tile is MUCH easier to clean) J. Speaking of the puppy, how about we play a game similar to “Where’s Waldo?” We call it “Where’s Moose?”

This is a flower arrangement that I made. I loved it so much that I decided that I will get a few more peacock colored accessories to finish off the space!

This is our second living room –aka- my office/ work space. It is really supposed to be a formal dining room but we aren’t fancy enough to need one. Right now we have a little reading corner and my desk filling the space.

*Note: Your eyes are not failing you. This is, in fact, a hideous mirrored wall. In my attempt to make it look better, I made curtains to go on either end. It is not 100% but hey, what do you do?

Above: This is my messy, messy desk and the pup! Below: We LOVE our kitchen. We have so much more space to store all our stuff and it is the first time either of us has ever cooked with gas. We are still getting used to it but have enjoyed making new things while we still have some extra time this summer.

So that is it for the main living space. I will post the bedroom pictures soon!

Puppy Love

So this past week Kyle and I got a new golden retriever puppy. His name is Moose.

Why you ask? Well, why not? He is definitely a handful but very worth it! Since we moved we have a great back yard for him to play in, and I have thought about (when he is older) training him to be a therapy dog. If I do eventually get the job I want in a hospital, it could be a great opportunity to use him with the patients. We will see; I am trying to learn that everything works out in its own time.

He loves to run around the house and play... a lot!

He is sooo good when he is sleeping :) By the way, why do puppies sleep all day and then want to be up all night? I don't get it.

As for the cat, she is getting used to him. At first she pretended that she didn't want to play, but as it turns out, she is the one egging him on- not the other way around as we first thought! They are funny to watch though, and as long as they are playing together, we can actually get some stuff done around the house.

I will keep you updated, he is going to get big fast. They never stay puppies for long. Have a great day!

Welcome!

Hello All! Welcome to my blog. I really like keeping up with everyone through y'alls blogs, so I decided to make one myself. This is going to be a realllllly slow process as I needed Kyle's help to even set it up! But I remain hopeful that I will learn how to blog and then can share everything that is going on in our lives with y'all! Enjoy!
