My sweet mother ventured to one of those big 'ol warehouse stores yesterday

to help me pick out paint colors.

I'm pretty much set on every room in the house, 

except for this one guest bedroom that I want to be "girly" but not obvious - 

does that make sense to anyone but me?

In a strange turn of events, the color we landed on was the lightest shade of lavender. 

I am not a purple girl. 

But I am enjoying this shade.

And apparently, I'm not the only one...

What do you think?

Do you have any purple on your walls?

Am I nut to try & attempt?

WOOD'nt it be nice

Todd and I have few things in common,

but we do share a love for all things rustic.

One of the very few design items we've decided that we love and will one day execute

is the wooden wall.

My bestie Claire, who if she wasn't an outstanding teacher would make a fabulous designer,

is planning on implementing one of these in her bedroom.

(I smell a reveal post on the horizon...)

While I'm mainly excited for her, I can't help but be a wee bit jealous to know 

she'll have it long before we ever do.

I'll be sure to share any updates, but in the mean time, check out these wooden wonders:

What do you think?

WOOD you ever install a WOOD wall?

Lemme Lemme Update you.

Hi there, friends!

Happy New Year!

How was your holiday season?

Fabulous? Happy to have it be over?

Mine was crazy to say the least, but crazy in the very best way possible :)

Wanted to share some pictures from our holidays (as promised)

so, without further ado...

Our Girl's Christmas Party.

(Remember I told you about that?)

Then we celebrated our family Christmas/Ornament Exchange...

Todd had me in the orny exchange...

and thats where it happened!!!!!!

6 carats! I'm a lucky girl :)

Then we celebrated with Todd's family...

(okay so I was too tired from engagement night to take anymore pictures....)

But we did take a few for New Years!

Phewf! What a whirlwind holiday! I'm happy for the chaos to settle, 

but will ALWAYS remember what a special season it was!

Todd and I have lots of exciting new things coming up this year

(Like decorating our new house!!)

So sooner rather than later be on the lookout for this 'ol blog to be completely taken over by interior design & wedding related posts...

Happy New Year!!!
