Some decorations for the house

So any many of you know Bryans parents are coming this next weekend and Nikki is coming the following weekend. We are trying to get some things done around the house before then.... So this weekend we went out and got some things for the little alcoves and tables in the house as well as a painting for our bedroom. We have these large shelves flanking our family room that have been empty up until now.... granted we were only able to fill one out of the eight shelves, but its a start!

painting in our bedroom

Entry way table, got some new flowers to liven it up a bit!

Here is a before and after of our sofa table in the family room. We made it a little more adult with the flowers

Picture easels to display the scrapbooks

This one came pre-made . This is the alcove in our bedroomThis one Bryan and I actually designed... we went to Michaels and picked out the arrangement and vase... it was really fun to see we could actually make something that looks rather high end... this is the alcove at the end of our hallway

patio cover and plants

The bones of the patio cover is finally done.... They are going to stain it and put in ceiling fans. We are having vines grow on the cover to give us shade in the summer and sun in the winter... Its going to be stained a very dark brown color, almost black, its will look really nice up against our very tan house :)

Yes, we finally have SOME plants!!!!!!!!!!!

Valentines and Nails

So Bryan totally surprised me on Valentines Day. I got home and was stressing about work and Bryan just smiles and pulls this box and card out for me. He got me some chocolate covered strawberries and a card. He can really be a sweetie sometimes! We then vegged out the rest of the night and watched two episodes of Lie to Me and promptly feel asleep on the couch. I don't know why we are so tired lately!

On a much different note, I have made the conversion from acrylics to this new gel from OPI (axxium). Its basically a gel polish that stays on for 2 weeks with no chips or dulling. I am toally loving it! Those are my real nails people! I have never had my real nails this long before. I am totally in love with the whole thing.
