Say It Ain't Snow

It's finally here...the much-dreaded snow season!! Boo!! We're currently under a lake effect warning for the next three, yes three, days! This is just the start of what's sure to be a very long, cold and snowy weekend. Phoebe is really enjoying the fluffy stuff and can't stop running around in it! She also loves to eat the snow and get her nose right into it. It really is quite amusing (except the part about one of us always having to stand outside in the snow with her when she wants to go out).

And the winners are...

Well, barring any "special order" glitches...the paisley print wins out for the panel curtains and we will use the striped fabric for our accent pillows!! Thanks everyone for helping us make up our mind!!

more house stuff...

Today we rolled out the carpet in our dressing room/closet. It's a berber and in excellent shape (thank you to the previous homeowner who just left it here, brand new, still in plastic!). We are very excited to put it down! The room is coming together nicely - walls are almost done being painted, the ceiling is done, light fixture is in and gorgeous (see night/day photos), and the roman shades for the windows arrived this week. So far only one has been installed "temporarily" because I'm still trying to choose fabrics for the overlaying panels as well as window seat cushions and decorative pillows. Lots to do...but we're getting there! I'll post some of the fabrics I'm choosing from...I need help deciding!

Decorating - Master Bedroom

As you know, we've been working very hard on turning our house into a home. Little by little we are completing projects, and things are really starting to come together. This weekend I've focused my attention on sewing projects (since my sweet mother-in-law is soon to be wintering in Florida and I will not have access to her amazing talents for a while!). Here are the fabrics I've chosen for our bedroom window treatments. I'm so excited - they're beautiful and I can't wait to see the room come together. The wall color is "Northern Sky" from the Pottery Barn collection and it couldn't match more perfectly with the blue in my fabric choice. The pattern we'll be using is the top right corner...the accent valance will be the paisley pattern and the shade will be the stripes with cream ribbon ties. I'll post some photos when the finished product is here!

Dressed to Impress

Today Phoebe got her first article of clothing...a sporty pink hoodie!! She's definitely going to need it now that the cold weather is setting in. She looks adorable and I don't think we're going to be able to get it off of her...she really likes it!
