one year recap....

So it has officially been another year, that I have neglected blogging.  I find it difficult to upload pictures and that is my favorite part about blogs! 

Well, lets see a recap of the past year.... not too much is different, peanut and dolly are a LOT bigger and our house is still coming together.  Perhaps one of these days it will get finished.... however I find that my design style for the house is constantly changing, perhaps that is why every room looks a little different.  Is that an okay thing?  I guess we will find out when it is all finished.

Below is a photo of a chair that I purchased for $35 at an antique store.  While the chair is not an antique I had a plan in mind for this little gem! (Excuse the hideous UofL lamp, a purchase I had to make for my husband!)


The new chair.... was it reupholstered?....nah... a Surefit slip cover! I thought it turned out pretty nice!
(I bought it through Overstock.com and it was only $60!)


We also invested into some new hardwood floors for the hallway.



We also re-did the landscaping during our "staycation" that we took in August. Two days worth of work and the once crazy jungle turned into something a little more simplistic!


Last, but certainly not least, we celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary in September!  We enjoyed a nice dinner at Gary's on Spring a great restaurant if you are looking for a new place to dine.  Then we headed to Actors Theater of Louisville to see Dracula!  We finished off the evening with champagne and the top tier to our wedding cake! (It actually was pretty good, a little dry, but the icing was great!)

Overall it has been a super busy year, filled with lots of changes, good times with friends and of course a lot of involvement in sports.  It should hopefully be soon the next time you hear from me!

until then I will be dreaming about the new kitchen I want for my home :)
