update on the adam-ski..

all is well.. cleaned and stitched..
funny how the bite doesn't hurt as much as the tetnus shot he said...

its starting to get some nasty colors too it.. but hey im happy it could have been a ton worse..

thanks for all of the thoughts and concern.. you people are awesome!

btw... is everyone else overjoyed that kris allen won... i mean adam is amazing.. but amazing at the one thing he does.. he's very showey (is that a word) but im a laid back music girl.. i love jack johnson, jason mraz, john mayer, josh kelly.. and now i can see myself being a kris allen type of girl

oh and it doesn't hurt that he just about stole my heart when he broke down in his wifes arms.. i love a good hubby!!!

calling all designers.. I NEED HELP

the "master" bedroom (if you can call it that) is always the last on my priority list.. but i think its time that i get it done... i finally found bedding that adam agrees to and actually loves.

so now what.. what color walls? what color should i paint the bed? should i make a huge headboard? if so with what..

i know the bedding is more modern but i would also like to approach it with some vintage flair.. can someone lead me in the right direction..

im seriously confused.. we are in need of new dressers and bedside tables too.. so lets just say its a complete overhaul

but just remember its probally in a room smaller than your children's bedroom.

dont be frightened!

well... maybe you should because I am...
warning.. this mess is quiet scary!! not for the faint at heart


:WARNING: this is after 3weeks straight of cleanup!







this is where i have been spending all of my life lately..
anyone wanna help a girl out and give me some ideas on what to do..
seems like the previous owners just dumped all of their trash in the backyard and left it... i have been pulling out laundry detergent, plastic bags, old broken toys.. you name it.. its there.. and now i have a bunny nest in the planter.. so i dont want to dig out the lily's but i think im going to have to. I have taken down the majority of the dead weed wines but not im at a standstill and do not know which direction to go next.

I NEED HELP!!!
