Come'n knock on my door

The entry way to your home is oober important. It is the first impression to the inside of your home. My own entry way is my favorite thing/room in my house. What an impression these entryways make!

Bargin Tuesday's

As I have come into my style I realize I have expensive taste! I would much rather hold out for a couch that is expensive and save for it rather than buy a cheap sub that doesn't make my heart beat as fast. But sometimes when coming to accessories for the home I like to replicate expensive looks for DEALS!!!!!!!!! I have found that certain stores, websites and a bit of rummaging always pays off. So...I decided to fill you all in on some deals every Tuesday. You never know it might be exactly what you are looking for!

HERE IS THE ITEM OF THE WEEK!

These adorable old fashion outdoor chairs are a great find at only $30 at Lowes. They come in green or blue. I heart them. When we got married I registered for a chair set VERY similar at Restoration Hardware for embarrassingly so so so much more. So if you like these buy them fast because they are really popular. I heard they also have them on the website.

Cooking up ideas for my dream home

Honey, I promise I would cook every night! xoxo

I love these vintage mug/hat racks. I see all the possibilities like during the holidays and then just day to day stuff like dog leashes, scarves and hats

Remember this one? I picked it up for a couple of buscks at a junk shop. I dry brushed some cream paint and put it up in my entry way. I love it!

Howdy Partners...We're back!

I can't even start to tell you how much "Texas" fun we had. Matt and I were visiting my sister for a few days in Houston. Then we celebrated our 3 year anniversary at the "Houstonian." This was the most amazing resort! The average room goes for 3-4 hundred per night! Good thing we got the hook-ups through my brother. We then ate at one of the best sea food restaurants enjoying champagne, crab legs, champagne, steak and champagne. Hehehe. What a way to celebrate another year of marriage bliss.( Or something like that, hahha)

We then stayed with two of our most amazing friends(Kent and Jana.) They live in the Woodlands. They have a beautiful home and two of the cutest dogs ever! I miss them already.

The four of us were quite active going on nature walks, long bikes rides and kayaking. We even went to a concert in the park. Talk about amazing hosts.

Finally...enough talking about the trip, here are pics of all the Texas fun! Yeeehaaaw
