my mom and grunkle frankles were here for thanksgiving and black friday. while we kept it pretty low key on the biggest shopping day of the year, we still went out to pick out a tree, all the way to downtown lewisville. woo. anyhow, we did a little time lapse video.

decor
charlie brown christmas
aside from multiple viewings of “a charlie brown christmas” (i think we’re already at 6 or 7 this year), we like to infuse our christmas decor with a generous amount of charlie brown themed items. my personal favorite is this ornament, that plugs into a light strand and lights up. it weighs about 7 pounds, […]
chairs
a few weeks ago, i scored these two chairs for $5 each at a childrens consignment sale. i took isaac to lowes to pick out paint colors. he decided on lime green for his and blue for anna. (with a bit of guidance from me). then, i got to work. between coats. in their final […]
indoor tree house.
we have been trying to settle on what to do with the dormer window in isaac’s room ever since we knew we were having him. for the first year or so, it was home to his glider rocker. it’s had a tent squeezed in occasionally. but, we were looking for something with more “wow”. well, […]

Derek kindly purchased and hung a curtain rod immediately after completion so I could see the fruits of my labors. I’m fairly pleased with this, my first major sewing undertaking… (the dark pic […]
the pink room.
derek was off for the last week, so we took the opportunity to paint the baby’s room (formerly known as my office). despite an original reluctance to have any pink be a part of this girl’s life, i opted for a very dark, almost red shade of pink. isaac thinks that “the baby is going […]
shelves
we put these shelves up yesterday. and by we, i mean derek. i put the stuff on them. anyhoo, it’s nice to have something on our walls. the emptiness was a little depressing. now i just need to decide what will permanently live on the shelves. i have so many ideas….. oh, and yes, that’s […]
one more blue room
somehow, derek and i found the time to give our bedroom a much needed coat of paint this weekend. (it helped that derek’s parents confiscated the monster for the afternoon, while we finished). here’s the outcome: (this is the third blue room in the house. the kitchen is royal blue, isaac’s room is little boy […]
