outdoor makeover

our outdoor space is in desperate need of a makeover

we just planted some new flowers

here's one of the umbrellas.  it's right now over nothing because the patio furniture didn't last the season.

bubba and i were enjoying the sun trying to figure out what to do with the deck

as you can see, we need a makeover

new apartment photos

i dropped my camera battery behind our stove, so sadly i haven't had a camera for a month.  today, i decided enough was enough and i climbed on top of the stove with a very clever tool.  i took a shower curtain rod and taped a soup ladle to the end.  then, i covered the ladle in tape for extra sticky power.  with some twists and turns i was able to maneuver my stick down into the caverns, and out came my camera battery!

here is the new rhino head from senegal.  the newspaper print is in french.

we love having these spider mums in our house, and they last almost two weeks.

our new knife rack saves us a lot of space, and the fancy paper makeover only took a couple minutes.

i edited the bookcase, so now the only books on display are in the same blues and greens.

i'm sorry that this picture is so dark!

we just took bubba on a long walk

our new chair!

do you like my new header?

elle decor looking a lot like domino

has anyone noticed that elle decor is looking a little cooler and more approachable?
