Moving!!

                                                             I think this face really says it all!! We are surrounded by moving boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap, and tons of loose items everywhere!! We have gotten a fair amount done in the last 2 days, considering our schedules. On Wednesday we moved all of our stuff from storage into our new place, and moved our clothes and personal items from the townhouse. Thursday morning was our furniture delivery. We love our new bedroom set and dining set. I snapped a few pictures around the house but I still haven't figured out how to use the flash properly on my new camera, and they look super dark! As you can see the dining table is functioning beautifully as a catch-all. There's so much stuff still to put away!! Then Rich installed a fan/light fixture thing in the master bedroom. I have to admit I married a pretty smart guy :)


Thursday afternoon we went and picked up an entertainment center, which Rich put together by himself.  He never reads the directions for anything, but somehow he puts together everything perfectly--extremely fast. The entertainment center is all done except for the doors we ordered for the two towers. We wanted a special type of door, so when they are in then he will be able to finish that. You can kind of see the living rom in this pic of him putting everything all together. 


Then there is my fab find. That would be a piece of art for the living room. And surprisingly I found it at Ikea. We were browsing through and I saw the Golden Gate bridge!!! I knew I had to have it!


I love my bridge!! It's a nice reminder of the place I spent most of my life. I love having things in the house that mean something in one way or another. I can't wait to get things more put together!

Target has cute flats for summer!!!



Basic black and ..... basic yellow? Lol :) $19.99 each, that's a great price for me!! :) I bought a really cute brown pair of knotted front shantung flats (THESE, the brown) a couple of months ago (rocket dog) but I have been disappointed in the quality. After 2 wears the sole was coming unattached from the toe of the left shoe. :( I don't think I will buy another pair of Rocket dog shoes!! Unless I give in to THESE.

New Furniture

                                                  Rich took me shopping for new furniture today. :) I have been wanting to get some furniture for about six months, but we knew we'd be moving again when our lease was up and the movers damaged our dining set pretty badly when we moved last year!! Finally we are moving into our new place in 10 days, and we went furniture shopping today!! This is our new dining room set. The wood is actually burnished and distressed, which I LOVE!! We also bought a bedroom set. We actually found one we both liked for under $1,000. I am putting a picture below. 


I am excited about my new stuff!! I am planning to switch over to white dinnerware for spring and summer, and to change up our master bedroom colors as well. I think I'll put our current stuff in the guest room. I am still thinking of the yellow spice bedding collection that I found at Ethan Allen. If you missed it the first time around, you can view it HERE

Spring Color Splash

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. For me, that means that Easter passes and dressing in 80% black must end, for a couple of seasons. Black is my favorite color to wear. It's a very friendly color, it loves all people and it goes with EVERYTHING. Today I went shopping to get my spring and summer clothes started. I picked up this cute dress for Easter, with a cute shell and pearl cocktail ring to go with it.



Spring also means pearls get exciting. I love pearl and chain necklaces, like the one pictured below.


HAPPY SPRING!!
