Mike's co-workers threw him a going away party last night at Hot Shots in O'Fallon. Friday is his last day and then Monday he starts his new job as Director of Rehab Services. So proud of you hunny! :) Here's a few pics from last night!
Today when I ran to Schnuck's I decided to treat myself to some flowers, so I picked up a bundle of roses and a bundle of tulips. Love them!
Also, today Illinois Closet Concepts came back out to do some more shelving for us. My favorite from the last time is our pantry that they customized before we moved in. Here's a pic in case you haven't seen it. Also love our master closet, but it was too messy to take a pic of today! :)
So, here is a pic of the shelving they did on the side of the garage Mike parks his truck. There is a lot more that they are going to do, but not until this summer once we get the rest of the garage drywalled; but, we wanted to get some shelving put up out there.
Here is a pic of the shoe shelving the installed on my side of the garage to hold atleast 8 pairs of shoes that are only for our outside, dirty shoes! No more bringing dirty shoes in the house!
And, lastly, in one of the spare bedroom closets...to some day be baby #1's room, we had them finish it by adding four shelves to put baskets on with baby goodies. They had originally installed all of the hanging shelving in the spare closets, for us to use now, and then to add shelving like below, for baby use. No...I have nothing further to share with you in terms of babies. :-)
Hope you have a great weekend!Last night turned into a pretty exciting evening!
We started out by going to Ashley Furniture to purchase our (or MY) new reading chair and ottoman. Unfortunately it will take 3 weeks for it to get here. Such a bummer. :( And, I totally forgot to take a picture of it with my Blackberry. Grrr! Sorry readers!
Then we went to Best Buy where we purchased the new love of my life!
Well, this weekend I think I found a new love...a camera that is! We are desperately in need of a new camera and I've been really wanting a DSLR, but was worried at the same time that it would be more camera than I really have time to learn, but also didn't want a dincky, little point-and-shoot that can't do all that much fun stuff. So, I think I found THE one, and hopefully Wednesday I will be going to pick up my new love. Stay tuned!
Recent pics of my office. We still have things to get hung up, so watch for more updates here!
Fall decorates on the fireplace!
Dining room with the place settings finally displayed! Still need to make the table runner, so more updates to come!
Some new picture frames with candids from the wedding!
On the green wall in the dining room...(see pic above)...our signature mat from the wedding!
Well, we finally go tthe white frames hung on our accent wall in the great room! Here is a pic of the papers we cut out to the exact size of the frames and the exact measurement of where the nail needed to go and then a pic of the frames hung. We just need to get all of the pictures ordered to go in the frames next! To the right of that wall is the foyer/front door. :) Enjoy!
I'm going to be lazy as I need to get to bed, so here is a link to see a quick slideshow of pics from the inside of the house. I'll be loading more later this week. I promise, for real! :)
