Nesting?

We went for carpet, that's all! But we left with a lot more!

Last weekend Brice and I headed to a discount store in town to find a remnant piece of carpet that would work for the nursery and one for our play room/office/extra room. This discount store was having its semi-annual tent sale on this particular day. So we strolled through the tent.

We left with a love seat, a kitchen table with four chairs, and two lamps. Oh, and some carpet.

Here's the new kitchen set. We love it!! The sides of the table fold down too.

And here is one of the lamps. Looks like it was made for our bedroom, eh? Perfect match! That's turquoise trim on the lamp if you can't tell.

Picture of the love seat will come once it is in place in the new and improved extra room. Tomorrow's task is to put everything back in that room. It has all been in our dining room for two days while we got the carpet installed. I need things to return to normal now.

Naomi's Nursery

My sister sent me to a fun blog where tons of people have submitted pictures of their nurseries. Some people are quite creative! After admiring some, laughing at others, I fell in love with this one:

However, when Brice and I went to register at a local baby store, we found a bedding pattern we liked and decided to go that route instead. But I just couldn't let go of the "Allison" nursery. My sister even posted the two rooms on her blog to get a vote. When I told Brice, he quickly responded that he preferred the "Allison" room too, so the final decision is made!!

We went to pick out the paint last weekend. We selected four of the color sheets, each with four colors on them, and laid them out for comparison and selection. After mere seconds I said, "Well, I know which one I like, but I'll wait 'til you make your choice." He quickly pointed to one of the 16 colors and said, "That one!" Yep, it was the one I had chosen in my head. (deep sigh) Potential conflict/discussion avoided! A guy comes Thursday to start painting!

Plus, my sister found the butterfly decals on a website for cheap. What would I do without her? Beck - please come down and help me put them on the walls just right!

So that's the nursery! Next topic . . .

My Little Buddy

One of the girls in our church walked in with the cutest little cell phone case! She made it herself and offered to make Brice and I one as well. So here is my new little cell phone buddy, Lily (named by the creator):

The head flips back to reveal a pouch for the phone - custom sized for my particular phone type!
