around the house.

this weekend I worked on the guest/computer room a bit.
made the bed with my old quilts.
I love how soft and worn in they are but the poor butterfly quilt has holes worn in it
(the nuns at my church made it when I was little).
So I have to layer them.





bookshelf


pretty thrifted fabric.
I don't know what to do with it yet.
It reminds me of a dress my Mam-Maw had.

i wish i was 5 again

I wish I was 5 again
{for 1 day}
1. so I would actually learn how to ride a bike.
2. to tell myself super important life secrets.
aka don't let your brother cut your hair with pinking shears
and do not drink that much and well, you get the jist.
3. to have red hair again, I miss it.

anyway moral of the story,
this is probably the most wondrous kids magazine ever.
is it wrong to jealous of her amazing hair?!



reminds me of my cabbage patch Jill.
one time dad accidentally threw her away
{I carried her around in a garbage bag.
even as a 5 year old I was the epitome of white trash}
He had to go find her in our dump at 1 am. 

much better than Barbie's dream house
I wish my house had a trundle pool.

then I saw this photo from Kido Store and died
is that wallpaper?!
they have the most adorable shop.
{in australia of course just like every fabulous thing.}

and yes I want this blanket for myself.

mini library

sweet little footmuff
maybe a snuggy/sleeping bag?
no idea. it looks warm.
sign me up.

tin camper
pigtail kit.
with pom poms.

seriously this store makes me want to move to Australia and have babies.

living room. sigh.


Josh and I have been arguing over the living room.
I have crazy ocd and I can't sit with my back to the front door.
I don't know, I'm weird. 
I want to be able to see the front door and out the front window if i'm sitting on the couch.
Plus having the couch like that cuts the room in half.
So when Josh went to work last week, I rearranged.
When he came home he put it back the way it is in the diagram below.
We need to figure something out before we kill each other.
I would love, adore, appreciate any ideas!




my puma's snuck in the picture :)





our espresso couch (and loveseat too but I couldn't find a photo)
they are the best "brown, no black, no maybe it's brown" color

we have ass ugly brown chairs in front of the picture window in the foyer area.
they were my sisters, and then mine, then a friends, now mine again.
they may or may not have a funky smell that febreeze can't kill.

target bookcase

Josh found our coffee table at an antique store.
and he never goes thrifting with me.
Beginners luck.
see our old orange recliners?
miss those.
{bet you do too, ky}

we need to buy more furniture.

p.s. I think Josh needs to build me this
on the wall where the loveseat is living right now:
{I don't know where I found this photo??}
