New Master Bedroom

Our master bedroom

I'm pretty sure when the old owner

painted the room they

didn't want to move a piece of furniture

so there was a big white, un-painted, area

in the middle of the wall

weird, right!

Devin painted the ceiling

see why!

crisp, new, clean

vs

old, dirty, yuck

old view

(even though the closet is new,

the rest isn't)

new view

old view towards the bathroom

new view towards the bathroom

(new door isn't up yet, but coming

tomorrow)

old view of the entrance

new view of the entrance

door coming tomorrow

Devin spent a lot of time fixing up the bedroom

We aren't totally done, but I love the new paint

and feel of the room.

We want to build a wall unit/ closet to take

the place of some big furniture and shoe rack

but don't know exactly what we want

so we are working on that......

maybe soon!

I love my job!

Kaylie is becoming one great little mommy

Cooking dinner for her babies

It doesn't get cuter than this!

happy valentine's day!

We had a heart themed Valentine's Day

this year

Red, heart shaped chocolate chip

pancakes for breakfast

(the kiddos had blueberry heart shaped ones)

Heart shaped peanut butter & jelly

sandwiches for lunch

dinner didn't' go as planned.....

(A LONG trip to Home Depot got in our way)

we had pizza.

we will have our heart shaped

sloppy-joe casserole tomorrow

And a gift for my Valentine...

2 Doors for our Master Bedroom he is currently

painting! yippee!

Paper Dolls

Remember paper dolls? I played with them all the time growing up.

This past week I was telling my mom about wanting to find some

Raggedy Ann and Andy stuff for the kids Easter Baskets

She started looking through some storage areas for

her old dolls and other things she thought she saved

She didn't find the Raddedy Ann things-

but did find this paper doll blanket I had as a newborn

So many memories brought back from this little

blanket.

I am so thankful for all the things my mom has saved

for 30+ years.

When are these paper dolls going to come back?

Most other things/ toys from my childhood

have made a come back, when will these

so Kaylie and I can play!!

Closet 1 of 5

I realize that this may only be important

to me & Devin but I am so

thrilled I have to share.....

Our master closet (yes, master) looked like this:

Not big

Not functional

Not anything good

It needed to change but we didn't have

much room to work with

Adding a 'real' back of the closet wall

All painted &

CLEAN!!!

We now have 2 real bars and shelves

It is better-

doesn't fit everything, not even close

but it is a good start to cleaning things up

and getting organized!

And at least we now have closet doors that

hang and work!

Ka-Chigga Ka-Chigga!

.......now we need to get to work on adding another

closet to our room and fixing up the other rooms

(where the rest of my clothes currently are)
