more pretties

This past week has been pretty busy for us... we were able to hang out with the Kellers, Stevenses, Morgans, & Johnsons all in a matter of 5 days! Fun. Mom and dad came out today to deliver curtains and give us a surprise early Christmas present!

the living room curtains...

the flash makes them seem really shiny, but they aren't. they are BEAUTIFUL!

our Christmas present...


I love this table... mom refinished it. It's a piece we can definitely use forever, in any house.

They also brought us curtains for the bathroom... mom was kind enough to make them even though we were in agreement that I was going to make them all, under her instruction, of course. Thanks, momma! :)



Oh, and Halloween! Yeah. I was soooooo excited to have trick or treaters for the first time, and I was convinced that we were going to have tons of kids come to the house. We live in a pretty busy area with lots of sidewalks, so it seemed like a no-brainer. We even invited Rob and (PREGNANT-- YAAAYYYYY) Kerry over to "help," hehe.

We had TWO kids stop by. Now we have 4 huge bags of candy sitting around, begging to be eaten. Bummer.

  1. We didnt get as many trick or treaters as we thought either. Although I know some people that could help you eat that candy!

    I love the table, we've been looking for something like that for our entry way.

  2. The curtains turned out amazing! I love the table and mirror grouping. Your house is really beautiful!

    We have a lot of left over candy too... I hate having it here, guess I better go hide it in my butt and thighs!

  3. I love the table! Your house is looking really good. Sorry about the trick or treaters...we live on a dead end so only the kids on the street come, which isn't very many.
