matt and i have lived in our current house for about 4 months and i realize i've never really posted any pics of it. mainly because it is still quite sparse. we went from 900 sq ft to 1500 sq ft and definitely not enough furniture to fill it up. i'm also only showing pics of the rooms that i don't mind people seeing. and a couple of DIY doo-hickies at the end.
first off, this is the episode of the office that was on while i was taking pictures (we have a tv in our bedroom...our marriage is doomed). can you guess which episode it is, misti dawn harrington walker?? ("i call this...'the bumper test'")
you may recognize that magic eye looking canvas from this post. it has been replaced and now sits on top of the bookshelf in the guest room. please do not closely inspect said bookshelf...it was a PITA to put together. three things of note: the terrifying pic of ella on the top shelf, my tech bulldog and my "serve it up" award from pine cove on the bottom shelf.
this is to show how bare the guest room is. my mom did the painting on the wall. her wall art is much better than mine. and all my winter shoes are in that closet.
we do have an actual bed in the guest room. the mismatched bedding looks bizarre, i realize. and i actually think my avocado chair looks good with the teal curtain. you'll notice i don't hang two curtain panels on any window. it's a quirk. DEAL WITH IT.
this is ella biscuit wanting me to open the blinds so she can watch the neighborhood cats nap on our front porch. i didn't oblige. suck it, pal.
one view of the living room. please note: the 70s loveseat inherited from my parents, the one curtain panel and the tissue paper flower on the coffee table. i fit no style mold.
ella laying by her favorite pillow. i made the cover out of 2 napkins from world market. 
the couch where my butt expands from east to west. and ella naps all the live long day. jan also did that painting above the couch. she made it manly for matt.
this floor lamp was a nice garish brass color so i first tried painting it krylon's "tuscan sunset." totally came out titty pink. so it got repainted in jade. much better.
another sommer original. just give me some painter's tape and some neon acrylics.
matt doesn't like the pink so i've made its home in my bathroom. because in 3 years of marriage, we've yet to actually share a bathroom.there's two other bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, a foyer and two porches that i didn't include. maybe one day.
I have too many comments my head is about to explode...let me regroup...
ReplyDeletea) we JUST watched that episode...when he eats that watermelon afterwards for some reason I just want to die.
b) we watched in on our tv in our bedroom (we're doomed too)
c) mama jan is talented! she should open a gallery...and call it serenity by jan.
d) fur ella is so cute i could just cry. she is in my top five cutest dogs ever. that's a hard list to make.
e) you're in a style mold called awesome! these pictures just look like you...i love it. it makes me want to come over.
f) i love the mini-gallery wall in the living room!!
g) avocado and teal, YES!
h) asymmetry is in. (the one panel on the window theme)
that's all of them...i think.
"You take me by the hand...maaaake me a man..." Oh, Jan. I love that she made Michael sleep on the footstool at the edge of the bed.
ReplyDeleteThank God Misti finally watched the birth episode. FINALLY. It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteLove your neon acrylic painting. I want to do one now, lol. And a coffee filter lamp. That looks too cute.
I agree with Misti's Letter C.
"When he started sweet-talking to me...tell me that everything is alright...taking time to make time...telling me that it's alright..."
