House Tour

My parents have been building a house for the past several months and it is finally done! They did an amazing job so I wanted to show it off. My dad is a builder and my mom is a great decorator and they make a wonderful team. They did this house different than any of their other ones and I love how it turned out!

So here you go!

funky powder room

this wine room was my dads little baby. It turned out awesome!

and this is the view off the back porch. You feel like you are in the tree tops! It is gorgeous!

Hope you enjoyed. She is still working on a few other rooms so when those are finished I will show more! If you need a builder in the little rock area or surrounding area, I know a really good one :)

 

patio revised

This summer we stained our deck and since then I had been looking for the perfect furniture to fit our small space. Well I found the perfect set for the perfect price from walmart.com. I love the color and how well it fits. Before I had a table that was way too big so we sold that. Now we can have several people over and enjoy being outdoors. What I love most is that it has become my favorite place to read after I get home from work. The past few weekends we have really enjoyed sitting out there at night just hanging out.

So what do you think from the before and afters?

Fall Blog Hop Tour

I love Fall! My house was made for fall because of all the orange in it and it makes me so happy.
I'm also thrilled because I had my mom do a little re-decorating when she came into town the other weekend! Another little happy is that I hit up the I.O. metro warehouse sale and I found a little treasure, which is just so exciting to have a new piece in my house!

So here is what I have so far...

these sconces are new and I'm still waiting to get some large candles. I know these look dinky.

new fall arrangement

this is my new piece! I've been looking for something tall to put my tv on and I finally found the perfect thing!

If you love Fall as much as I do, link up below to show a tour of your home decorated for fall or what your favorite thing about fall is! I thought it might be a fun way to get in a Fallish Spirit. I'm also absoutely loving the weather right now.

Home

It felt so great to actually stay home for a weekend. Now don't get me wrong, I love traveling, but considering we haven't really had a weekend home in a month, we were long overdue. It did us good to be homebecause we were extremely productive.
Friday, we had some people over to grill out for our friend Matt's b-day. We usually go to the lake to celebrate me, Marc, and Matt's b-day, but this time we just had to pass due to our many previous trips. We still had a great time.
Saturday, I went and had a pedi with some friends while Marc played golf, then we went to Greenehouse Grill to have some yummy lunch. When I got home {to nap} Marc was in major cleaning mode. He cleaned  the kitchen, moved all the furniture out of the living room to start cleaning the carperts. We borrowed a shampooer because the carpets were looking way rough. So they turned out really good. Then we re-arranged our living room furniture which we have wanted to do for 2 years now. Yay!
We then headed to a going away party and then went to babysit Sawyer so Katie and Andrew could have an anniversary date night.
Sunday, we went to church then got home and stained our deck, which we have also wanted to do for 2 years. Oh and a date night (Marc is not aware of this, but I decided we need one, Ha!)
All that to say, we were very PRODUCTIVE! We are rarely that productive on a weekend, so good thing we did not decide to travel anywhere!

Here is the newly arranged living room. Sorry I don't have a before pic. I really like it. I just needed a change

Here is the deck BEFORE

And AFTER!

I think it looks tons better and will hopefully preserve the wood on it.
