Baby Weston"s First Birthday Party
We had baby Weston"s first birthday party at our house in April. Paloma our daughter came and decorated.The theme was "Cars".Weston loves the cartoon movies and of course loves cars!!!! It was very colorful and festive!!! Once again I was able to use my antique silver punch bowl .This time it was filled with blue raspberry "windshield fluid" punch!!!!! There were alot of treats for the kids and adults.Overall a great party and Weston had a blast!!!! Here are photos of the big day...

Laptop fixed!!!!
So I finally have my laptop fixed !!!!! I noticed that I haven't blogged since it crashed ,it just wasn't in the budget to get it fixed.I have an ipad and a desktop but for some reason it is easier to write from my laptop!!!! We have been doing a lot around here with projects some planned and some "emergency" as in pipes leaking ,water all over dining room projects.I left off my last post with painting the kitchen cabinets.I am happy to report I love how they turned out!!! Who knew paint and new hardware would upgrade the look of the kitchen so well!!!!
I suspected they would but seeing is believing!!! I only have photos from my instagram but will take more kitchen shots after I have time to clean the kitchen. I also painted the sink cabinets a refresher coat of red and I love how it turned out,of course now I need to buy more sage green paint and retouch up the rest of the kitchen.
I also added a decorative liner paper inside the cabinet drawers,I have one more drawer to go!!!!!

Photos
Since spring break came and went I have been very busy painting. One project that was on my mind for months was painting the kitchen cabinets.Since we are having baby Weston's first bday party here at the house I thought there is no time like the present!!!! A party is always motivating for me,LOL!!!!! I am still painting the cabinets and while I am waiting for the paint to dry I thought I would post some photos. I bought some new hardware for the lower cabinets to try out and I really like how they look .This weekend I have to go to Menards and pick more up and have hubby drill some holes in the cabinets.The new bin pulls are bigger than what was there before.I can't wait until this project is done although now I have to paint the rest of the kitchen since it is looking blah!!!! I will paint the kitchen the same sage green since I still love it but it needs a refresher coat. Here are some photos of my work in progress...

Spring Break
This week has been our Spring Break!! Truthfully,we really needed it!! The boys loved staying up late and sleeping in and I planned on getting to my list of projects that I have been putting off. Last summer the boys started painting a room in the basement that Trent wants to use for his room.Well it is exactly 8 months later and I finally bought more paint and painted the finishing touches,lol!!! My other paint project isn't finished but so far I am liking it.I started painting the lower cabinets in the kitchen dark gray .I chose gray because our countertops are a dark gray/ black and I thought a darker color would help hide the dirt.The upper cabinets are a sage green color that I really love.So far I like how it looks but won't know for sure until all the lower cabinets are painted.Also I hope I picked out a dark enough gray since the paint looks lighter than the swatch. We are having baby Weston's first birthday party here at the house so that is motivating me to get the kitchen painted and in order!! I will post photos after I upload them from my phone.Well ,that is all that is new here .Hope everyone is having a great day!!

Cowhide rug
I finally found a cowhide rug that was a really great price!!!! I was walking the other week in our downtown and saw the cowhide rug folded up in an antique store window.The day I saw it the store was closed so I didn't know how much it was going for or how big it was. I kept talking about it but never went to see what the hours were at the store and finally I was coloring a friends hair and asked about the owner of the store.I knew he knew the owner and he called him up and asked about the cowhide.So we agreed on a price and now it is mine!!!!!! I got it this Sat. I am beyond excited since I have been looking for one for soooo long. I am playing around with where it will end up.I would love it on the floor in the living room but I have a small dog that I am afraid would ruin it.For now I have it draped over our new modern sofa.Our house has an artistic ecletic look so I think it would work.Here are photos of the different looks.
The photos with the sofa covered with throws and pillows is how I keep the sofa covered daily because of the dogs!!!!

Julian's party
We finally had Julian's birthday party!!!!! It was a small affair but fun was had by all!!!! My good friend Maureen came and stayed for the weekend so that was great.It has been a while since she has been here and luckily we have a brand new sofa that is comfy to sleep on.It is not an antique,it is actually modern but it blends nicely with the victorian sofa( leopard one).I am on the lookout for an antique settee for the otherside of the room.Anyway here are a few photos.
