more updates on the house!

our backyard - can you spot finny?
also - i love this bench now that aric painted it!

fresh mint in our front yard! it smells so good! and we've already used it to make lemonade!



our picnic table + bench given to us by emma, who used to live here. they were really dingy, so aric painted them! voila! now i just need to find a tablecloth for it!






i just bought these cute patio chairs at a flea market last weekend. for only $15 a piece!



pretty roses in our backyard!




did you know we had lettuce?? i think i forgot to mention that! i also spent last night raking this garden - it was in dire need! finny helped as you can see!




yummy!



i still love these lights!


THE OFFICE


my working station





never without my bags!



aric's working station!



our super cute picture frames from kendall & blake's rehearsal dinner! we love these!




i cannot wait for the mini bar to be finished painting! then we will have our own little kitchen, complete with a mini-fridge, mini-bar and a mini coffee pot!!

OUR NEW LEATHER COUCH in our tv nook! YEAH!!! this couch is so comfortable - i love it!




those red curtains will soon be replaced!




new pillows from dwell for target. i love dwell!




another seating area! we still need to hang something above the couch!

still needs updating, but for now it works!



my beautiful flowers aric gave me on our 1 year anniversary!



THE GUEST ROOM



i love having this huge closet! it supplies all my dresses!



it's getting there.

"day by day by day by day" {"friends" quote anyone?}



antique basket found at the flea market as well. it holds my paper towels! functional + cute!






another flea market find - $25 for this gorgeous mirror. we are hanging it in the dining room, after we paint the red wall!



THE BEDROOM


i just realized i hadn't posted anything on the new bedding!! isn't it great? and it's super soft too - i guess it should be if it's 100% egyptian cotton! pillow from dwell studio for target. a whole dwell room! love it!



mom picked out the dwell accent pillow at target when she was here in may! i was skeptical, but i absolutely love it now! sorry i doubted you mom!



another view - still need to paint my nightstand black to match aric's!





updated dresser contents



the 3 pictures i purchased from a photographer on etsy who took these in paris! the bud vases are from the flea market!
