demo has begun

we have had such a busy summer. for the past couple of years, we werent sure if we would be staying in our house or moving into a new one . . . after tons of contemplation (and the mister nor the kids wanted to move), it was decided that we are staying. so, with that decision came the promise of some serious fixing up. which includes our office and a new kitchen!! woo hoo. demo began today on the kitchen. out with the old, in with the new.... bye bye white stove, hello new 6 burner gas top!!!


my combo craft room & office | it is finally happening!

we have been so busy here at the j house. we are redoing our downstairs. for the past 9 years, me and the mister have shared an office, but now we are doing our OWN spaces. his will be a gorgeous masculine office (fitting for a guy with a masters degree and college teacher) darker furniture, classic style . .  where mine will be for ME... totally opposite of him, but isn't that what good marriages are made of? 

my office will have off white walls with one grey wall, painted cement flooring, and pottery barn bedford collection pieces.


just for comparison when i am done, this is my craft (loving called crap) room before:




for the re-do  - i scored this on craigslist for more then half off the  list price.




the mister treated me to this to match



this is my palette


and i think i need this:


i picked this up last week at a garage sale



i can't wait to show you all the finished room!!

I have been trying to add new items to my shop that are not just photography geared. i have made a couple fitness ones and this is one of my favorites. a great font and then a measuring tape (hand draw) coming off your name.

THIS has become my new mantra. be the change you want to see in this world.

i just made a printable and now it is in my home to see.... and soon, i will have a bracelet on my wrist with the quote too!!




pretty signs of spring in my backyard

oh i love all things spring. i love flip flops, shorts, baseball, windows open, and pretty flowers in the yard.

i did a 365 last year and have been neglecting my camera this year... i can not keep promises when it comes to photography (or blogging), but i sure hope to try and pull my camera out more!!
