Around Our House


This is our cute house. We have finally uploaded pictures over the last few months and are throwing a few on here!



Our front stoop during the fall and Guster sniffing around.

Guster in the leaves.

Me in our kitchen making Christmas Mushrooms.



Our Christmas decor.

A lap blanket I made this last year. It took me a while to buy all the yarn. It's not perfect, but I like the imperfections. They make it look cooler I think.


A bookshelf I got from my work. I recovered almost all the shelves in old vintage wallpaper that can be better seen in the below picture.



Those two above are of an antique quilt box we got for Christmas from Steven's Aunt. It matches our headboard perfectly but, unfortunately, our bedroom is too small to get it at the foot of the bed. Someday when we have our own place we'll be able to get it all together and it'll look like a cute country bedroom.


This windowbox is Guster's favorite haunt in the summer where we can watch birds and bees in the apple tree just outside and get lots of sun. I love that that couch fit in there so perfectly. It's a great place on summer days to lie and read and take Sunday naps. It's too cold in the winter because of all the windows.

Last but not least, my cute little hubby working away on his homework. Isn't he just darling?

So we haven't posted anything in a super long time. For some reason Blogger decided it would be a good idea to change my sign-in e-mail name without telling me. Anyhoo, I was browsing gap.com yesterday and found this little outfit in the baby section. It was so cute it made me want to have a baby right now just so I could dress it in this. I sent the link to my mom and she ended up buying it for me and saving it in a chest she made for all the little baby things she's been gathering for me for the future. Isn't she just the world's best mom/grandma? I certainly think so. So if anyone else likes this outfit gap.com has it and a couple similar!
