Hodgepodge - A little bit of everything

Yes, I stood in the snow taking pictures of our chickens butts...

I am so excited to share with you that I asked for and received my first free product. This paint sprayer from HomeRight! As soon as the weather warms up a bit, I'll be painting everything in sight. I can't wait to share the results with you. Stay tuned!

More exciting news....

The floors are ordered. In about 3 weeks we will have new hardwood floors in our living room.

This was such a hard decision... as some of you know ;)

We have an existing floor (the dining room) that will join the new living room floor. 

There is not a floor on planet earth that matches the existing floor. 

Just so you know. 

I ended up picking a medium brown tone to pull the darker tones from the dining room floor. It looks good with the gray walls, the white curtains, black, my sofa, rug and the fireplace.... 

I cannot wait!

You guys know how much I love my black and white kitchen floor. When it was first installed, it had some issues that the floor people said would go away with time... well, it's almost a year later and the issues are still there. There are bumps and lines in several places and I'm sad to say... it's going! They're going to replace it... again.

I picked out this marbly gray and tan floor. I decided for the long haul, I'd rather have something easier to keep clean. Hopefully, I'll be just as happy with this. I'll miss the black and white, but I won't miss the maintenance of it. I think the new floor will give me the light feel that I love but it'll be easier to maintain.

Tales of the Curtain Shuffle

Remember my dining room curtains? 

Well, now they're in my bedroom and bathroom.

I wanted to have the dining and living room curtains match because you can see both windows from each room.

I started out with white curtains. They were fine. But then I saw these really pretty curtains on clearance at Target. They were so nice but they felt too dark. 

I've learned one thing in decorating... if you have to KEEP looking at something to see if you like it, you don't. Stop wasting time and do something else.

I went back to simple white curtains in both rooms. 

I get on my own nerves with this....

I've got a rug coming this week from Overstock... it's a darker rug, hopefully it will keep the table from blending into the floor.

Let me leave you with something pretty.

Our birds are so happy it's almost spring. They've been busy too. 

There will be baby birds everywhere in a few months.... 

Do you have a lot going on?

I hope you were somewhat inspired :)
