Jack-o-Lantern!

We finally got around to carving our pumpkin...whew we only have 3 more days left in October. I'm sure I'll light it up through the beginning of November if it still looks good.

Part 2: Pretty Pretty Princess

I finally got my chair for my vanity. The first chair that they sent had a bubble in the plastic so I had to wait for another one. As you know I was using a dining room chair until this one arrived. I didn't really think about the fact that I needed a chair without arms- oops. I can't push it all the way under the vanity.

Jenny, my soul-office-mate, got me this hobnail jar as a housewarming gift. I love it. I need to decide what will get the boot off of the vanity because I like this a lot better! Thank you Jenny!

Rub-a-dub-dub

I'm so glad I decided to take on one more stripe project. I love how our bathroom turned out. Rhino and all...

I had left over blue from our bedroom and leftover gray from the living room so I decided to give it a go in the bathroom. We got the blue towels as a housewarming gift. They match almost perfectly! I can't seem to find anymore of them anywhere so I think I am going to get a few gray ones as well.

                                   

I picked up these prints at IKEA originally for the bedroom but then once I got the bathroom finished I realized they were a perfect match.

                                              

I saw this floor to ceiling shower curtain on a blog that I stalk and I HAD to HAVE it! Chris complains that it blocks that light and I agree, but shhhh don't tell him. I'm sure most of you remember our bathtub saga. Our salesman promised us a garden tub and they installed a regular sized tub. Very disappointing. Well you know me- I always get my way ;) so they agreed to change it out to a garden tub at no extra cost. Chris did most of the leg work to get them to agree to do so. I don't think he wanted to hear me whine about the tub for the next 30 years. 

                                   

And finally...our rhinoceros. I love him. Isn't it ridiculous? I know right now you are agreeing it is ridiculous, but I will have you know that it is backordered online until 12/1/09. So it's a pretty hot commodity.

So I'm a self proclaimed procrastinator...

So nearly a month laterrrrrr I FINALLY have pictures of the rest of our office.

I'm sure you remember my pillow inspired wall...

Well, here is its mate...

                            

In my defense- it took so long to get this side of the room done because I had to paint all of those frames and letters...just fyi.

I won that hideous yet oh-so-comfortable chaise lounge from a company party one year and Chris refuses to let me get rid of it. I have been collecting those frames here and there and my mom gifted us with the cute telephone picture.

I think I might want to paint the other walls, I just can't commit to pink-yellow-orange-OR chocolate brown. So I'm stuck.

Does anyone know where we can find some cute chairs for our desk? We prefer fabric (I could get past that if you have a great suggestion that isn't), no wheels, and they need to be one of the colors from the wall.

Hotel Brown Sugar

Ta-da! Here is our guest room. I'm not sure why I haven't posted this sooner since this room has been done for about a month now.

We decided to donate all of our old decorations to the guests. That way- I could get new decorations for our new room!

Chris and I have already spent a night in Hotel Brown Sugar while we were painting our room. We decided it would be best to stay in the guest room so we weren't sniffing paint all night long!

Eventually I want to paint this room. I just don't know what color yet so it might be a while. Any suggestions?

Happy Halloweenie

I was going to wait and put my Halloween decorations up after the Housewarming party, but I just couldn't contain myself. I put them out at about 11:30p on September 30th!

I love the little "spooky" and "beware" signs 

I scored on the $2.50 rack at Target.

Batty Love Buttons flying in my mums. 

The wings are on springs so they flap in the wind. Love it.

Sadly I can not find the rest of my rest of my Halloween decor. Who knows where to start...

What are you going to be for Halloween this year?
