Change up!

I have no idea what is going on with me but the last week, I decided to change somethings in our house! I found the coolest table at DI for 25 dollars. I thought it would be great for a buffet table, so Nathan and I fixed it up, and I think it turned out awesome, I wish I had the before pic! Next we wanted more seating off the kitchen, so we found some chairs at KSL for 150.00 Then I found I was wanting to paint, so I made some art work to go up our stairway. I then decided to paint some lamps I had green. And then if that wasn't enough I decided yesterday to go color my hair dark (thanks Chelsie for doing my hair)! I think I am done for now. This last week has been a fun one!

My two girls have been so much fun lately. Becca refound her costume from Halloween, and has been sleeping in it the last 2 night. She is afraid we will hide it somewhere if she takes it off! So I had to take some pics of her and Rachel eating breakfast (Becca in costume). I say it all the time, but they are so CUTE! I can't stand it sometimes :)

I love your hair I have known you for like over ten years and could have never imagined you as anything, but a blond! You look great! And I love the home decor. I really need to check out your new house!

Your hair looks awesome! I am totally impressed by all your new things this week. You are so talented at decorating. I wish I had that knack that you do! You always have the cutest/fun stuff. You even know how to pain art! That's awesome. If I tried that it would look like a 5 year old made it.
I love the table you found! Great deals are the best!

So first of all- your hair is super cute, and 2nd- I'm SOOO JEALOUS of the sweet deals you found on your furniture!! Why do I NEVER find the good deals?! I absolutely love how the table turned out and those chairs are sweet too. It so fun to turn something from old and ugly to nice and new! Your paintings are great as well. I love to paint too! I tend to do more still life but I love your modern flair! Your house is awesome! We need to get together sometime!

I really like your hair like that - super cute. Those lamps are painted?? I've seen them in a bunch of different pictures and I never would have guessed. In fact, I was just thinking a few posts back "Did she get her chairs first and then find lamps that matched perfectly, or vice versa?" The chairs are gorgeous - man I love KSL. The buffet turned out beautiful.
