I was busy finishing up my senior year and finally have my BFA in Interior Architecture and Design. What is that? It's basically just like architecture only we take existing buildings and re-purpose them. I also know Interior Design so I have a good range of opportunities out there. In July I start Grad School which is exciting but I'm also very nervous. I know I'm going to be extremely busy and that means a lot less time with my daughter. I keep telling myself it's only for one year (yep, that's right) and it will truly pay off in the end (one can only hope)! I've been off since the beginning of May and I've been enjoying my time with the bean who is now 13 months old. She is so much fun but also a wild beast! I'm pooped by the end of the night! I have to enjoy it while I can because, seriously, grad school is going to kick my ass. There is a ton of stuff to update on so I'll probably be making a few posts. I really don't know where to start but here is a picture of Sadie as of a few days ago:<br />

Look at that smile! Don't mind her messy playroom. It's constantly messy. The minute I put something away it comes right back down/out! She loves her babies. Mostly this one that she cannot live without:<br />

This is from memorial day. Her baby came out a little blurry but this is a Disney Princess baby - Sleeping Beauty (Aurora aka "BABY!"). <strike>Aurora</strike> BABY! just had a bath last night because she was so dirty that our parent's even said she needed a bath. <br />

This is us a few weekends ago. We went to a bridal shower for a relative. I am in the process of growing out my bangs and a few weeks ago I dyed my hair a medium brown. I. hate. it. I'm looking into getting high lights.<br />

Instead of going to my graduation we went to <a href="http://www.knoebels.com/">Knoebels Amusement Resort</a>. Josh and I have been going there since we were very young so it was only natural that our daughter goes. She was there twice last year (3 months old) and once this year. This is her helping me play miniature golf (I suck so bad). We look forward to many more Knoebels trips!<br />

I use the Vera tote by Vera Bradley. It's in the Barcelona print which is no longer available but if you like it <a href="http://www.verabradley.com/product/Collection/Signature/Vera/154766/defaultColor/Lime%27s+Up/pc/640/c/0/sc/683/p/154766.uts">here</a> is another option! I have to say I LOVE it! So much room. The whole inside is lined with little pockets and it's really deep and it also has two outside pockets. <br />

Am I forgetting anything? What do you keep in your diaper bag? I think I might do a few random posts like this while I'm off from school for the summer.<br />

I tried making a post yesterday
but every time I tried to post a picture it would freeze up. I haven't
had time to post much these past few weeks. Life has been crazy. My
senior year is wrapping up this week and then next week are finals. Last
weekend was our baby girl's 1st birthday party. We had fun! So much fun
that I don't have many pictures. The day before the party our rec room
got a makeover. It's still not finished. <strike>We</strike><i> I</i> am
kind of on a spending freeze so projects around here are at their
minimum. It's hard having two houses with two mortgages and two sets of
utility bills and only one person working. The good news is that someone
made an offer on our former home and we accepted! The inspection is
this Friday and if all goes well, the closing is scheduled for May 31st!
That will be a big help for getting projects done! We need to do major
landscaping out there! <br />
<br />
Here's the party:<br />

The
"ugly" bar in all it's glory. One of these day's Josh is going to go
down there and it will be painted. I don't have a hatred for wood...just
ugly wood. We are looking into a bar top for it and stools! All that
booze is my grandpa's vintage collection. It's older than me (31
wonderful years)!<br />

New
flooring, paint job. We're in the market for good sticky things to hang
his artwork. Don't recommend command strips because I'm here to tell

start calling your lady friends your girl friends. It's my graduation

do! I'll go to my graduation when I finish Grad school. Don't worry. <br />

Her 1st Birthday party- it was on Sunday. It was a success and I'm kind of glad it's over. This weekend we are taking her somewhere fun. We just don't know where yet.

The first order of business was to finish painting the front door. Shut the front door! I painted it awhile ago and then it got really cold or else I just didn't have the time with the baby. I finally made some time on Wednesday (while waiting for Roto Rooter man to come fix a clog that was leaking into our basement utility sink. Stinky). Here it is done-enough. Meaning <i>if</i> I get more time I'm going to paint the yellowing window parts white. This is it from a few months back:<br />

I just used silver wrapping paper for the back ground and light pink scrapbook paper for the trees that I just free handed. It turned out pretty ok. The pics aren't the greatest. Still learning how to use a fancy Pentax camera. We also hung her mirror and other goodies:<br />

I have to get it hauled here from my mom's house and then refinish it. I'm also on the hunt for a long dresser.<br />
<br />
Today I made a rug for out front porch. It was inspired from something I saw on <a href="http://katiebrownblog.com/simple-picnic-blanket/">Pinterest.</a> I bought a 9'x12' canvas drop cloth at Harbor Freight for $15 (I'm going to be making curtains for the mud room too so I needed the extra). Here are the tools I used:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/555019_3451109113195_1134751118_3843930_1147833187_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/555019_3451109113195_1134751118_3843930_1147833187_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Simple! Yard stick, tape measure, red marking pencil, scissors, painters tape and the drop cloth. First I cut my rug to size (6'x4'). Next I laid it out on my hardwood floors and started taping off the stripes. I used my yard stick and the floor boards to help me get an accurate measurement. See here:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">See how the tape lines up with the floor boards. It's not totally perfect but I'm surprised at how good it actually came out! The little pieces of blue tape are for me to know which stripes I'm going to be painting blue. Derr.</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> </td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />

Then I took it outside and used the exterior paint that I used on the front door (Since it's going to be at the front door):<br />

Sorry. We have been working on a few projects here and there. I feel like there is so much we want to get done before the Birthday party (Sadie's 1st in case you forgot) and not enough hours in our day. I'm waiting for my camera to upload the pics I took for this blog but it seems to be reimporting EVERYTHING on the camera. Like stuff I've already imported is importing again. I hate this computer tech stuff. Waiting... Waiting... Waiting... 769 imports later...<br />

Don't judge. This is what we got when we bought it (remember it was a foreclosure). We have a lovely "pond" or "hole" in our back yard from where an above ground pool once stood. My step dad brought fill today so that hole is going to be all filled in. Just have to wait for the grass to grow. Waiting... The ugly shed is going to be demolished and scrapped for cash. Josh plans on building a new one, a nice one, a sturdy one! There are some pics of our deck and porch too: <br />

I've been trying to make a "to do" list for things that need to get done before the party. Maybe I'll just jot it down here. Let's go room by room. No, let's start outside:<br />
-Put final coat of paint on front door<br />
-Hang house numbers<br />
-Spray paint outdoor fixtures (if they look bad we'll just buy new ones)<br />
-Do as much landscaping as possible (We can't plant anything yet but we can hack down old dead bushes)<br />
-Fill in "hole" (almost there)<br />
-Clean off deck furniture<br />
-Paint deck<br />
-Chop down brush behind and on side of fence <br />
<br />
Now on to the indoors:<br />
-Scrape and repaint stairs<br />
-Stick up stair railings<br />
-Clean/organize 2nd floor (this includes art room/guest room and storage area)<br />
-Get TV stand for playroom (or just get the poor kid a new wall mounted TV)<br />
-Paint closet door in main bath<br />
-Touch up all paint including but not limited to trim<br />
-Hang Sadie's mirror above dresser<br />
-Finish and hang all artwork in BRs <br />
-Hang door on mudroom and paint <br />
I'm not even sure if that's everything but it's a good start. We have exactly 21 days. Who wants to baby sit? Write art history papers? Draft detail drawings? Work for Josh? Help us with our list? Anybody? Somebody? Please...

I think I'm more excited about this than I should be. I'm a first time mom so I guess it's cool. I've been planning this sha-bang for awhile now. When she was tiny she used to light up when Abby Cadabby came on Sesame Street. She's kind of gotten over it. She still likes it but it doesn't hold her interest as much. So my original plan was to have an Abby Cadabby party. I thought about this a lot (seriously, way more than a person should) and I decided that since it's her FIRST birthday it should be focused on her turning ONE and not on some silly character. Right? <br />

Off to <a href="http://pinterest.com/kristilynn328/">Pinterest</a> I went to find some inspiration. I fell in love with the "Pink Lemonade" theme of light pinks and yellows (without the lemonade). It's so sweet, simple and sort of vintage looking and kind of theme-less. Perfect. Here are some of my inspiration pics of pink/yellow parties:<br />

I often think about making a quick entry but there is never time. I have a little bit of time now so I thought I'd fill you in on a few things. This is our 3rd weekend here and we are still not all unpacked. Pathetic! I know! We just haven't had the time. Josh has been working on getting our previous home ready for the Realtor to come and take pics and give us a selling price (fingers crossed it's a good amount). I've been studying my little butt off for my classes and playing with the baby lots! She's such a cutie. Starting to walk and stand on her own like a big girl.<br />
<br />
Earlier in the week I plopped Sadie in the crib and went to work on her gallery wall. Originally I wanted to do embroidery hoops like this for her room:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/241224123760639056_O3zLR4EQ_f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/241224123760639056_O3zLR4EQ_f.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>But I really wanted to add in an old picture from my nursery when I was a youngin'. Here were a few options I came up with but wasn't too thrilled with:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/420074_3090421256224_1134751118_3675856_1691397912_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/420074_3090421256224_1134751118_3675856_1691397912_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/395690_3090417096120_1134751118_3675843_539750559_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/395690_3090417096120_1134751118_3675843_539750559_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>There was another variation in there too but I don't have a picture of it anymore. Finally I decided on this (and I finally got it all up on the wall...on my own):<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/423151_3135459822160_1134751118_3695540_282834266_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/423151_3135459822160_1134751118_3695540_282834266_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>It has a little bit of everything I wanted and then some. By the time I was done and taking this picture Miss Sadie was like "get me out of here already". I'm very happy with it and every time we go into her room she points at it. So I guess she kind of likes it too!<br />
Here was my process:<br />
<br />
Step 1. Use tracing paper and cover area of hanging space on wall<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/400997_3135457222095_1134751118_3695530_151411427_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/400997_3135457222095_1134751118_3695530_151411427_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Measure out and space where you want things to hang. This takes a lot of time and patience:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/421556_3135455182044_1134751118_3695524_2132918545_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/421556_3135455182044_1134751118_3695524_2132918545_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I started at the bottom with the shelf ledge, then I hung the ballet slippers in the center of the whole thing, then I hung my old picture and then I went from there with everything else. I used Drywall anchors and screws to hold almost everything up so it's good and secure. Once I had everything in place I added command velcro strips to the backs of everything for extra support. I don't think these puppies are going anywhere.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/421068_3135456182069_1134751118_3695526_546161133_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/421068_3135456182069_1134751118_3695526_546161133_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Eventually I removed all the tape and tracing paper. I found this lamb print for free on <a href="http://pinterest.com/">pinterest</a> it's from a blog called <a href="http://www.thehandmadehome.net/2011/06/freebie-of-the-month-club-malones-nursery-art/">thehandmadehome.ne</a>t:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/419472_3135457102092_1134751118_3695529_25947482_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/419472_3135457102092_1134751118_3695529_25947482_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I freaking love it! It reminds me of the time my mom and I took Sadie to see the Alpaca's at <a href="http://www.thelandsathillsidefarms.org/">Hillside Farm</a>s and there were also sheep and one fell in love with her. Here, it melts my heart:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/311825_2444627231777_1134751118_3339287_720687002_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/311825_2444627231777_1134751118_3339287_720687002_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Finished product again:<br />

Very exciting. Oh and the best news! We are going to Ikea this weekend! We are getting a dining room table and chairs and a few other things. I'll have to post and Ikea haul! It's free breakfast Saturday as well so I'm way too excited...Kristi Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06035422706557905401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516835971188769276.post-19780489296393734732012-01-30T08:02:00.000-08:002012-01-30T08:02:02.548-08:00Moving week!Yes, it's finally here! Moving week. Josh has been doing so much at the house in order to have it livable by the end of the week. I've been packing as much as I can. Here is what our current house looks like:<br />

We are going to be living with the bare minimum this week. It better not snow!<br />
<br />
Here's what Josh has been working on:<br />
<br />
Office floors are sanded just need some polyurethane:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7XN4au2bShj0WCGNUa1fLmXEjrWCTbfBlnlSP2ZHeu6eBM9gUDASgpjOPQZZbD1EGdNaTNLFZvzVXn5LfrSY5H13e0TS4D9j3CVd0ipeu2mUfnqJ39Z1GsbJBGeE_bGvOzGpC60BBKqs/s1600/end+of+jan+2012+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7XN4au2bShj0WCGNUa1fLmXEjrWCTbfBlnlSP2ZHeu6eBM9gUDASgpjOPQZZbD1EGdNaTNLFZvzVXn5LfrSY5H13e0TS4D9j3CVd0ipeu2mUfnqJ39Z1GsbJBGeE_bGvOzGpC60BBKqs/s320/end+of+jan+2012+001.JPG" width="240" /></a></div> Living Room floors are sanded (this isn't a very good pic) just need poly (I helped sand a little bit in here):<br />

If you are refinishing your floors don't rent a drum sander. They are too rough on wooden floors (weird how everyone rents them for that purpose but trust me):<br />

</tbody></table>We just need to finish the back splash and poly the floors. The family room is all painted but we discovered a leak...on one of our heating pipes. We had someone there yesterday working on it and he'll be back today. Whoever built this house did a lousy job. We constantly have to fix their mistakes.<br />
<br />
I started cleaning the mudroom which looked like a huge dog went like this:<br />

Eww. Painting has begun in that room and I hope to work on it more tonight after class. <br />

Ahhh loving it already. I had to leave to pick up the baby from my Mom's so I don't have more of what was done, but next time I will. It is not easy putting in little glass tiles like these. Using the tile nippers worked great but it's a ton of measuring and cutting (like around the window and outlets). I like the kitchen so much better now, even without the cabinets painted. It's much better than this:<br />

Let me tell you something, it doesn't mean it will only take one coat. We have used this paint in several rooms (we like the coverage valspar no-VOC paint gives better) and they all needed about 3-4 coats but with the primer mixed in it should stick well. Oh, and yes I was painting on our newly painted dining room walls. My father in law thinks I'm crazy. I was very careful! This project needs to be done by Friday for floor sanding. Ya, good luck with that...<br />

This is a teflon paint tray. What does that mean? No cleaning! You just pour the extra paint back in the can and let the rest of it sit over night to dry and peel it off the next day (like those facial masks). I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. (sorry I have no idea who makes it but it's from Lowes or Home Depot).<br />

I also made a mood board for the LR. I want to add a little POP of color so I chose yellow:<br />

4. Benjamin Moore Sandy Hook Gray. Wall paint color in LR/DR<br />
5. Geometric print I'll be framing<br />
6. Existing table lamps (ours are shapes slightly different with the bulbous part closer to the bottom)<br />
7. Existing couch<br />
8. Existing Armoire (it's very similar to this) will house smaller TV<br />
9. existing chair (not really a fan of it but it was a gift)<br />
10. Existing hardwood floors (once they are sanded and treated)<br />
11. Existing blue leaf rug<br />
12. Existing end table (similar to this)<br />
<br />
Thoughts? I think I might like the little bit of pop.<br />

That stuff got that disgusting old brown (aka poop) glue off pretty darn good. That is honestly all the house updates I have. The tiling took a lot of time and I didn't make it over to the house that much this weekend.<br />
<br />
On another note I have to give a shout out to my favoritest baby in the whole-wide-world!!!!<br />
Sadie turns 9 months on Tuesday! I don't know how that happened but she is doing all sorts of stuff these days like crawling, standing, laughing, kissing, waving, "talking", chasing the dogs around in her walker with evil-baby laugh and just being cutest darn kid. I love being her mommy!<br />

He works his hiney off at his regular job then goes and works on making our house a home. He has been doing most of the hard stuff (all I do is paint) and it's really paying off.

Our carpets were installed in our 2 bedrooms and hallway and playroom and our bathroom tile is in AND we found a mirror for the bathroom. Let's take a look:<br />

It's been awhile. We have been working in between all the holiday festivities. As much as I loved seeing our baby girl experience her first Christmas and New Years and seeing family, I am so over the holidays! <br />
<br />
All walls on the main floor are painted. Walls include: Playroom, Kitchen, LR/DR & Hallway, Office, Main Bath, Master BR, Baby Room and Hallway to BR's. Almost all the trim to all of those rooms/sections is painted! I just need to touch up a few spots tomorrow. Here are some pics (please excuse the mess):<br />
<br />
Kitchen so far. Hopefully we will be ripping out flooring and tiling soon. Cannot wait for the new counter tops and tile back splash. Josh thinks the oak cabinets will look fine once everything is done but I have a plan to paint them on spring break-oh and we are going to rip out that scallop-y piece over the sink. YUCKO!.<br />

I had to have this! I showed it to Josh and he also liked it very much. This is the Sloane Leaning Wine Bar Bookcase and it's only about $580 ($550 on sale). OUCH!<br />
<br />
Then one day I was looking through a <a href="http://www.lakeside.com/For-the-Home/Furniture/Shelves/Ladder-Shelf-Storage/prod321050.jmp?navAction=jump&fm=search">lakeside collection</a> catalogue and saw this:<br />

I am finally finished with finals! Now that I am on winter break I can get more done at the house. Here's whats been going on...<br />
<br />
We ordered Sadie this ceiling fixture for her room:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJDnLW6s2EWhh8DUxICo4H6rs5gidnSgq8k3KwU-acCmWIb7uPUszDKBydzKa9HDMgykWBiSr6cgSjdkpJUZ8I3PUV03mBQ9UiJi341nR90RU3CPx8aWAIAd947OCfjRT4vOQxTgzSsg/s1600/sadie+light.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJDnLW6s2EWhh8DUxICo4H6rs5gidnSgq8k3KwU-acCmWIb7uPUszDKBydzKa9HDMgykWBiSr6cgSjdkpJUZ8I3PUV03mBQ9UiJi341nR90RU3CPx8aWAIAd947OCfjRT4vOQxTgzSsg/s320/sadie+light.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>It is so pretty but unfortunately it's way too large for her room. I totally didn't even check out the dimensions on it! Ooops! No biggie we love it so much we are going to rehang it in our dining room. I have a few ideas for a new inexpensive light for her room but more on that later.<br />
<br />
We have most of our 1st floor all painted. Painted rooms include: Living room, dining room, hall way in front of half bath, kitchen, playroom, hallway, main bathroom, Sadie's bedroom and our bedroom. Rooms/spaces left to paint: All of upstairs (2 large areas), basement, family room in basement, mudroom in basement, office, front door and back doors and a large book case for the playroom. Wanna help?! (Ps. I will have pictures of the painted rooms soon).<br />
<br />
We have our carpeting for the bedrooms and playroom on order and should be installed *crossyourfingers* first week of January. I better start packin' because my goal is to move by Jan 21st.<br />
<br />
We decided to leave our half bath as is for now until we sell our first home. It's functional and with some major cleaning it will serve it's purpose for now. Here it is in all it's glory as of now:<br />

Our kitchen is next on the list. Now that it's painted (pics to come soon) we need to remove the linoleum flooring and the 1/4" plywood in order to get ready for tiling! We have our new dishwasher sitting in the office waiting to be installed, fridge and washing machine (our 3 year old washing machine just died recently. Bummer) on order to be delivered this Thursday, over the range microwave is sitting at my dad's house and our new hot water heater is on it's way soon too. Here are some items we bought for our kitchen and some pics of the kitchen how it originally was:<br />

I've been trying to go vegetarian for awhile now and my Animal Ethics Philosophy class has really helped (along with my husband and that fact that our baby girl is also vegetarian). It helps when your husband can cook and make really yummy things! Guess what else he can do?! Pretty much anything. Here's what we did the past 2 weekends. I left the camera at the house for a week so this is going to be a loooong post. Sorry.<br />
<br />
We pulled out the broken, smelly dishwasher and found this doozey. It leaked. Gross!: <br />

I also painted the back hallway, Josh ripped out the carpet in the basement family room and I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting to mention. Next I'll be ripping off the carpet on the stairs and maybe ripping up the tile "path".

Still trying to convince the Boss to get rid of the hideous tile path! Does anyone want to lend me your jack hammer?! The hardwood is in pretty good shape just needs a few repairs. Looks so much better though!<br />
