Backstreet’s Back

The plan is to actually write consistent posts this time. Now that fall (well, school fall, not quite the seaon yet) is here, its time to get down to business…

A lot has happened in the last few months:

1- These are no longer pretty, but pretty fried.  The heat and lack of rain has not been nice to them. (the model, however, just keeps getting cuter)

2-  We painted our bedroom last week and I am in love with the new color… gray area by Sherwin Williams…(this swatch isn’t really accurate)

3- We have redone our pink bathroom (can I get a hallelujiah?!) and I am in love with it as well.  It’s amazing how much better it feels without the mauve pink tile and bathtub!

4- I have moved furniture/accessories around in every. room. of our house.  Will I ever stop doing that?

5- I have bought 4 shower curtains in the last week and now have 3 to take back.

6- I keep coming up with things to repaint.

7- Our screened in porch is no longer screened in, but a current code violation and danger to toddlers and dogs that can’t tell there is a drop off.  The porch project has lasted much longer than anticipated, which is why its always good to have the complete plan figured out before demo starts (note to Will ).  I’m probably not totally innocent in that either though…

8-  I have a new favorite lipgloss- read about it here.  Anthropologie has it in their store in a tube- bonus!

9- We went to the mountains this past weekend (insert random, unrelated pictures) and went to the Mast General Store in Valle Crucis (NC) where they have a candy room.  $16 later we now have a hefty supply of swedish fish, strawberry sour punch straws, chocolate covered caramels, peanut butter malt balls, laffy taffy, bit o honey, gumballs, and peanut brittle.  Two words: fatty and toothache.

10-  Please feel free to hold me accountable with posting- I might need it!
