Curtains

 There have been a lot of changes going on in our living room. It is finally decorated and not just a hodge podge of stuff from the Ellsworth house. The biggest update is the new custom curtain that Sarah Erwin did a fabulous job on! I wanted something neutral so we went with alabaster white linen. I love how they blend in but add warmth and texture to the room.

New Roman shade on the breakfast nook. Love the little ghosts that Brox made for Halloween:)

Fall House

Vintage Market Days

Another successful Vintage Market Days. This will be our 3rd one and we are heading to a 4th in November. I love my little shopping buddy:)

Magnolia

We had so much fun on our Waco road trip to check out Magnolia!  It was crazy busy with a line out the door for the store, overflow shed and overflow tent. Even though the crowd was crazy we still managed to score a bunch of good stuff and see Chip! (from the side, we were not about to wait in the hour long line to meet him)

 The main store is adorable. Again, check out this crowd!

All of my goodies. The table is from Spice Village in Waco but everything else came from Magnolia. We will definitely go back when her new store opens!

Organization by Mom

I am really embarrassed to show this but this is the before and of our upstairs storage room. When we built the house I was so excited to have a room that was just for storage. When we moved it we just shoved stuff in there then it spiraled out of control over the last 2 years. When I needed to add something to the room I would literally throw it in and run. I didn't even want to look at how bad the room had gotten. Mom kept offering to help me then one day I casually said I would rather pay someone to do it for me and her and David took the bait!

They went to Lowe's and bought shelving, built it, took everything out of the room and even added decking to the attic so the baby stuff could be moved into a less accessible place.  You can't see it but on the right wall behind the door is where all of my Christmas decoration containers are neatly stacked. It looks amazing!

                       Love this Wal-mart find. So cheap and the perfect size for my party decor!

Sittin on the dock of the bay

Our life in the country just keeps getting sweeter. My grandfather's tank is right behind our house and provides a great scenic view from our back porch. A few days ago my uncle and cousin built a dock on the tank and tied up a cute little fishing boat. We love strolling down to the tank and throwing rocks off the dock. Brox will try his hand at fishing when it cools down a bit.

All American House

I feel like every house has a holiday it is really good at. For example our house in Lakewood was a Christmas house. So warm and cozy. I think I have decided that our house is a 4th of July house! So patriotic and designed for family, food, fireworks and fun!
