Another room down!

This weekend Chris and I spent Friday night and Saturday morning tearing out the carpet in our second guest room. See pics below. So far this room has the best floors. They turned out really great! No only one room is left with carpet in it. Yea!

 Eventually I will paint this room...it is my last room to really decorate. I ran out of inspiration.

The Tile Floors are in!

This past weekend with the help of our family and friends, we tiled our kitchen, dining room, and laundry room. Here are the pictures of the before and after! It turned out great and many thanks goes out to everybody that helped. I even got me a new back door installed in the process !! YEA!

Baby Kate's Adorable New Outfit!

Front

Back

A few weeks ago my cousin had a baby girl! So of course I took this opportunity to work on my sewing skills. So this past weekend I sewed baby Kate this cute outfit (dress and pink bloomers to match). I am going to monogram it in couple of weeks but I was so excited about how it turned out that I just had to go ahead and post it.

Abby's first lake experience!


On Memorial Day weekend Chris and I spent our holiday at the lake with my family. I got to spend time with some of my cousin's (shout-out to Mallory cause we kicked Pam & Courtney's tails during game time), got to go out on the boat, took a couple of walks with Kim and Abby (my niece) and of course I ate some really yummy food!
My brother brought his puppy Abby and we got her out in the water for the first time. As you can see from above I don't think that she liked it too much. She was skaking like a leaf when she got out. It's was kind of funny! I love going to the lake, not just because of the water but because I get to spend time with my family. I don't think that we would spend time together like this if it weren't for the lakehouse. It's just a great place to get a-way and not to have to worry about anything. Now it's countdown to the 4th of July!

Which tile should I choose?

After spending a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with my family at the lake (I'll post about that later), Chris and I came home and visited our local Lowe's to look for tiles for our kitchen floor. Here's what we are trying to choose from....it's a hard decision (mostly because it's gonna cost some $$ and I don't want to make a mistake. So what one do you prefer? The light one or the dark one?
FYI: My kitchen is a bright green with white cabinets.


Dark One

Light One
