It's getting there -

This is what my picture wall has been transformed to (today, going to change Saturday!) It's definitely looking MUCH better than what it was like before. I actually enjoy looking at it now!!

The lamp shade in the corner was an experiment that didn't go as well as I'd hoped. I think I am trying too hard to make things too cutesy. So, tonight, the lampshade will be tan and the base will be white. Simple, to the point. And I still have to paint the dresser, although now, I think I am getting some hand-me-down end tables and a coffee table. I love hand me downs. :-)

I also love those curtains but they are turning out not to go so well. I think they don't look "rich" enough (in texture, not taste.) I want something thicker with some substance. Plus, there is alot of blue in it and I am having a hard time wanting to put any blue decor in my room. We'll see.

Ugh, that couch. Yuck. Can't wait for THAT to be gone!!!

OH! Don't change the wall-I really like it like that! I think it looks GREAT :) (of course-it's not my house, so I don't have to look at it all of the time, but I still think it looks great!)

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
