Show Us Where You Live Friday... Bathroom Edition

Its that time again... here are our two bathrooms. Sorry this is a quick post... it as been a long day and I am exhausted. Yesterday Zach and I started the P90X workout and I can barely move today... I am just pushing myself to finish the day... and looking forward to the end result. My bathrooms are not very decorative, but I did paint them when we moved in... they are the same texture as my kitchen walls. Enjoy the two quick pics!

The guest bathroom, also known now as Sophia's bathroom.

Zach and I's bathroom.

Show Us Where You Live Friday.... Nursery Edition

Its that time of the week again... Welcome to Sophia's Nursery... one of my favorite rooms.

This is looking at the room when you walk in. It is a small room, but it works well for Little Miss Sophia. You can see the wall with the window (curtains made by Honey, Zach's mom) and my two pictures added to give it a little girl flare and the cross below that (over S's bed) with her name, birth date, and birth information, a gift from Grandma, and opposite that side is another cute gift from a family friend that also includes her birth information.

This picture was taken several months ago, before Sophia was here, but I wanted to show off the bedding that my mother in law made for Sophia. She is very talented, Sophia and I are blessed to have her.

Close up of the bedding. It is green with brown polka dots and brown, green and white strips. It is beautiful.

She also made the quilt to match the bedding that is on the back of the glider. Also on the glider is the new blanket that Sophia got from her God parents, Jeremy and Roxie, and embroidered on the trim it says, To our Goddaughter, Sophia Marie Mitchell, May You Grow In Grace, Baptized May 17, 2009. It is precious.

This is the wall with the door and closet. She just recently got the bookshelf since she has so many books already... She's gonna be a reader like her daddy. Also I have the picture frame from Pottery Barn Kids that shows her first year from birth to one year... one of my favorite items in her room. Also when I was nursing I needed something with the time in her room, so she also has a clock in her room.

Sophia 's dresser. You can also see her name now up on her shelf above her crib, her letters came about a week before she was born. Also you can see her bow clip that I made for her. I just recently got the plate and piggy bank from Etsy.com, my new favorite place to shop for S.

Here is a close up of the plate and piggy bank... Don't you just love them. Also she has a cross on her dresser that she got from her Baptism. Also there is a block that S got from her Auntie Pam for her baptism. It has her birthday, baptism date, her name, mine and Zach's name and a S on the sides. It is super cute. I am not sure where she found it, but I know she ordered it online.

I hope that you all enjoyed Sophia's room. Have a great weekend.

Show Us Where You Live Friday.... Dining Room Room Edition

Its that time again... FRIDAY!! One of my favorite days of the week... mostly because I get two whole days with my sweet little angel, but I get three this weekend... also because it is Show Us Where You Live Friday... welcome to my dining room. This was the room in my house that was empty the longest. My parents down sized to a smaller home shortly after Zach and I bought our house, so we inherited my grandmother's dining room table and hutch. My mom had it all these years and now I do. Before we got it I painted the wall with the hutch dark olive green. I love it.

The table pulls out to seat 8 comfortably but we have gotten 10-12 around it before!! I also want to get some sconces to put on either side of the hutch , but I haven't found exactly what I want yet.

This is the serving table and mirror, the mirror is from my favorite place, Garden Ridge.

I also have a wall with pictures of family weddings. Mine, my parents, and Zach's parents. I can't wait to add more to the wall!! Below are some more close up pictures of the pictures.

I hope you all enjoy the pictures and have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. We are headed to the lake for the weekend and Sophia is going to get her first dip in the pool.... if the weather permits!!

Show Us Where You Live Friday.... Guest Room Edition

So I am in the same boat as Kelly, this is the room in my house that is the least put together. It is the guest room and the storage room (especially the closet.) I have my old bed from when I was single as well as the dresser and night stands. I do love my bed spread in this room (and the sheets are super fabulous!)

This is also the smallest room... but it works for guests!

Here is the rest of my cross collection as well. There is another blank wall and I do have a picture for it, however when we moved two years ago, but the glass broke in the move and it just isn't that high on the to do list to get done!
I am looking forward to next weeks dining rooms!!! I hope you all have a great weekend!

P.S. I also posted this on Friday since Sophia was asleep and tomorrow night we are super busy cleaning the house for everyone to come over after Sophia's Baptism!!!! I can't wait!

Show Us Where You Live Friday.... Living Room Edition

Its here again. Show Us Where You Live Friday.... Living Room Edition.

This is the small hall from the kitchen to the living room. I love my crosses here. I had a large collection when I was single. I split up the collection when we bought our house. The rest of them are in the spare bedroom.

This is the view into the living room from the kitchen. (We were watching LOST) You can also tell from the pictures that Sophia has taken over our living room. Pack in play straight and toy bag straight ahead and to the right, exersaucer and bouncy seat. Last week we put away the swing, it was Sophia's least favorite activity. I thought about putting up Sophia's baby stuff, but then figured that this is how we live everyday so I thought I would so that side of our lives.... it is not always clean... it is however well loved and lived in!

This is a bit closer of the large wall in our living room (the picture that is in my kitchen used to hang on this wall) I got the pictures at Garden Ridge and the shelves at Lowes.
I am still trying to figure out what all I want to put up on my shelves, but Zach loves his books, he has his own office full of books and comic book toys! ( I will have to include that in another post later) Any ideas of what else to add to my shelves are welcome.

View from the front door. You can kind of see more of Sophia's toys from here.There they are! I also love my fireplace screen, which is from Plow and Hearth, but I bought it on Amazon for a much cheaper price. I also love the quilt rack that I recieved for a gift, but I know you can also find them on Amazon.

Mantle with my bargain mirror that I purchased when I was single from Wal-mart for $30!!! Can you tell that I love family photos???

View of the living room from the office... which leads to our back yard. You can also see the sofa table behind the large couch that leads back to the bedrooms. The mirrors are from back when Zach was single, so yes, we did keep some of his stuff when we got married. Plus our fabulous couches were his... you sit down and sink in to them... and all you want to do is nap! We love them.Sofa table, with more family and friends! Plus my digital photo frame that I got from Zach and my mom this year for my birthday. I love that too... it holds so many photos!

One of the end tables (wanted to show you one of the other crosses)... and the baby monitor... man her stuff is everywhere!!!

Lastly the bar that is behind the love seat. It is again filled with family and friends. I also collect Willow Tree Angels. I don't know if you can see them that well in this photo, but I love them.

Well there it all is... the living room. I hope you enjoyed the pictures! See you next week!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Show Us Where You Live Friday... Kitchen Edition

I am an avid reader of our friend Chris's sister's blog, Kelly, and she started a Show Us Where You Live Fridays (or weekends) this week and this week we started showing off our kitchens.

My kitchen is probably my favorite room, let alone my most put together room of my house. Excuse our mess, but enjoy the pics and tour!

When we moved in 2 years ago, the kitchen was wallpapered and that had to go. We textured the walls and painted them red. It was a long process, but very much worth it.... I love it!
This is where we occasionally eat. Sophia now eats here everyday for her evening cereal! She loves her high chair. You can also see our window seat, where usually all of Sophia's things are, but I moved them for the picture. Also I got the pictures on the wall from my mom several, several years ago and I finally put them up this past summer and I love those too. The hutch behind the table is where Zach keeps his "junk." Don't worry I have a place for mine too!

This is my beautiful red wall, with my clock that I love, but I need to put new batteries in so that you can actually tell the time.

I finally got some nick-nacks recently to go above our cabinets. The picture I purchased a long time ago, when I was still single, and it used to hang in our living room, but I had decided it went much nicer in my kitchen, and I love that too! I got the other vases at Garden Ridge, which is great place to get great deals for decorating.

Ahh, here you can see my pile of "junk" on this counter, next to the most used item in the kitchen, the coffee maker, one of Zach's favorite wedding gifts! You can also see on the far side my bottle dryer rack... again very useful and now part of my decor!

The window nook above the sink, with my plant that I have surprisingly not killed yet. I got it in the hospital when I had Sophia, I hope I can keep it alive. Also you might notice the super old armadillo, I purchased it for my grandmother when I was a child, and kept it after she passed away. I always think of her every morning when I see it!

My one super organized cabinet. Can you guess who it belongs to? Yes, of course Little Miss Sophia. All things that have to do with Sophia are organized and clean! I try to keep as much of the kitchen as clean as possible, but with a new little one, I would much rather spend my time with her than cleaning as I sure that most of you understand.

And of course I had to post a picture of Sophia. She was leaving with Grandma Charlie so that Mommy and Daddy could have a date night... dinner and a movie. Wolverine... it was a bit disappointing. I know weird of me to say, but being married to a man who loves comic books, you also grow to love and enjoy them, and this one could have been better in my book. Enjoy. I am looking forward to touring everyone's kitchens to get some ideas for mine.
