Well...they said it was coming but I never really believe it. THE snow storm. THE one that will shut down the city. Right. Whatever. I am the skeptic who doesn't bother running to the store for bread and milk. And you know why???? If I am stuck in my house I do not want to exist on that! If I have a lot of bread in my house, I will just toast it, put lots of butter on it and pop it into my mouth. My size 8 jeans will not be happy.
No worries...I have a friend who loves to cook and there is always good food in her house. She is Mrs. Cleaver and I am Eddie Haskell always over there mooching. For you people who do not know who Eddie Haskell is I am afraid I can't help you. But let me just say he was a real suckup.
ON another note....I have learned that if you want to feel good write a post about plastic surgery!!! I felt like I got 30 comments from my Mom....saying "honey....you are pretty just the way God made you :)"
Thanks guys.....sweetness.
There were quite a few questions about the pillows in my bedroom and some nursery questions. I thought I would just include them in this post.
The pillows on my bed first. The 3 shams are Riad from Kravet fabrics.
The long pillow fabric I got at
Lewis and Sheron Textiles as well as the one floral pillow. I believe it is a Robert Allen fabric.
The small pillow is from Homegoods and it has been about everywhere in my house!
The nursery:
The alphabet blocks, crib, bike, orange stuffed animal in the crib came from
The Seed Factory
I think that is it.
Baby G finally arrived 6 days late! He weighed in at 8 1/2 lbs. Everyone is doing great and I am sure that he will love his new digs when he can take it all in!
I took these pictures of of the hallway when I was at Mande's house. It is upstairs between her bedrooms. There were upper cabinets but they got removed. A little left over wallpaper from a job I did and some shelves added.
Check it out.
Shelves from Ikea.
Paint on the bottom cabinets is Farrow and Ball: Mouses Back...the BEST color!
Her twin sisters kids!
Shelves are so much nicer than cabinets!
This picture is so weird. That old window is actually a mirror. The doors you see are across the hall to the laundry area. It looks like they are behind the window huh???
On the second snow day I went to the gym [it is walking distance from my house so there is no excuse!] We rounded up enough people to get a class going by the owner who is a sadist which the dictionary describes at someone who is deliberately cruel. He was. I was so hurting from that beating. Still.
