Guest Bedroom Inspiration

I have been wanting to do more to the guest room...all the while knowing that it will only be a guest room for maybe 2 more years (at the most)! It will eventually be the baby room :)

It's kinda a funny story.....when Joe and I first started looking for houses, we looked at A LOT!! We must have looked at at least 30 houses in the East Buntyn and High Point area. One day, I was driving around and saw one for sale that I thought was soooo cute! I asked our realtor if see could get us in to see it....low and behold, the moment we went it, I KNEW it was the house that we were supposed to have. It just felt right, like when you try on wedding dresses and you try on THE ONE...you just know! I pictured us living in the house, entertaining in the house, and I totally had a vision on me running down the L-O-N-G hallway to the babies room. So there, now you know the story of our house and how it came to be. So because of my vision, I know that the guest room will be a babies room someday. But, until then....I just HAD to do something. I have been following this wonderful blog :

and I love the whole look of their house. It's just a young couple...the husband is a ROCKSTAR and very handy and the wife is cute and crafty...the similarities were erie...haha!!

I got several of these pictures off their blog and others I found randomly on the internet. I really like this look and best of all, it's something I can do for super CHEAP!! That is always a good thing. I have a lot of the stuff already, it's just a matter of moving some things around. Hopefully it will be done soon and I will post pictures of the end result. Enjoy!

hello love!

OK, I am in LOVE with this site that I just discovered:

Here are some of the things that I am looking at and LOVING...hello Christmas!!

Flashback Friday!

I look at this picture and I just have to smile. This was taken at my Godmother's house in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. I am with some of my best friends from high school. We came down for a week after graduation and had a great time. We would drive over to Panama City every night and drive up and down the strip...haha!!

Halloween Horrors...

Here are some of my favorite scary (and not so scary) Halloween movies. How many of these have you seen? What are your favorite scary movies? If you haven't seen one of these, do yourself a favor and head to Blockbuster!

Saturday in the City!

Joe and I spent the afternoon going to a few antique stores. These are some of my favorites!

I plan on coming to this cute little stand to get me some pumpkins this weekend.

And what day in the city would be complete without Gus's chicken? Joe's brother, Bob, and his step dad, Gatis, were in town for the night all the way from Minneapolis! They had to deliver a car to east TN and drove all the way across the state for this chicken....and to see us (I think it was mainly the chicken). My dad came out to join the festivities....he NEVER turns down FRIED CHICKEN! It was a fun day :)

Kelsey's Sweet Sixteen Candy Buffet!

Kelsey wanted something cute and fun for his 16th birthday party. She looks happy, right?! I tried to pick candy that you remember eating as your grew up....pop rocks, airheads, laffy taffy, pixie sticks, etc. I think it turned out super cute!

Menu Mondays

This week I just do not have the motivation to plan menus.....plus I went to Costco on Sunday and got a bunch of baby spinach that will be good for making salads all week.

Monday: JL Training Event-make a salad and eat leftovers from Sunday night (BBQ pork cops, lemon pepper broccoli, french bread
Tuesday: salad....boring!!
Wednesday: Girl's Night at Old Venice :)
Thursday: Out to dinner with Joe and his dad or meat loaf
Friday: Out to dinner with Joe and his dad
