Decorate My Roost

Ok so it is official its time to help me decorate my roost! Well it is my mom'sliving room to be exact. Depending on the sucess of this competition I will do a room from my house next month. To enter to win a gift card you must leave a comment with your ideas or (preferably) blog about how you would decorate the living room. Pictures will be very helpful and remember the top people that inspire me most will get a gift card to a favorite retail store. I am also hosting a giveaway at the same time. The giveaway is as simple as most and is intended to help bring people over here with their great ideas! So comment and get 1 entry, post about the contest, and comment be back to let me know and get 3 additional entries, so there you have it. Now I have some things already in this room. The colors are a ligth blue, rust, that sagey green and brown. The main points that need work are above the fireplace/mantle and this beast!!! There are tons of shelves that can be put into this so keep that in mind. I guess what I am thinking is... should I paint the shelving, what should I decorate with? It is a blank canvas I know, but you can do anything you like. I am just needing inspiration. There is very little to shop around the house for as Mom tends to donate stuff constantly. So think paint? think picutres, stars, decorative stuff. I know it is tough that is why if you post with deocr ideas you will possibly win a gift card to the store of your choosing.So we have our work cut out for us ladies and I am SO excited to see what you would do!

Remember.
The Giveaway Prize is Valentine's themed and agian the contest winner(s) will get gift cards~

Blogging from the road

So I am blogging from the road. I am tired and ready to be home. My goal is to get the laundry done tonight and all of my hubby’s vocabulary worksheets for the week written. I have had such a wonderful few weeks, and it seems like things just keep getting better. It honestly makes me wonder if something bad is going to happen. I am just keeping faith that the lord is blessing us right now and that things will only get better, but if you knew all the crap we have been through in the past 2 years, you would know why I am cautiously optimistic. Anyway, I had a great weekend in Augusta for my Mother-in-law’s 50th birthday and I also got my birthday presents from them, a really pretty engraved necklace and a little spending money! We had a really good time. I am glad to be getting home though because I have so many things that I want to accomplish over the next few weeks. It is going to be very busy. I have to pressure wash my decks and prep them to be re stained and painted, paint my cabinets, get new hardware, new light fixtures, countertops and floors all in the kitchen, all the while hopefully we can start construction on the remodel. I want all of this and the landscaping done by June. I want to enjoy my summer not just continuously work on the house. I hope to start grad school this summer, so I need to get my house and life in order. OH! My beautiful girl is starting to stand for a few seconds on her own, I am pretty sure walking is just around the corner…. I need to get serious about baby proofing! I want to host a competition. I am thinking of the exact rules, but it will be up this week. It will be a design competition and it will have at least 2 winners. That much I have figured out. So stay tuned for that.
