A small update

I painted the risers that lead from the entry way to the top floor (our house is a split level). They were an ugly beigy color that showed every scuff. Flat black is a bit more modern and will hide the wear and tear a little better. Eventually I want to get some kind of runner rug installed here for a little more coziness.

Burt's acting foreman on this job. My work passed inspection, I think.

Spring!

What a difference a week makes! Our azaleas just burst out in color this weekend due to the 80+ degree temps.

I love living in an older neighborhood filled with mature landscaping and tall trees. With the afternoon light filtering through the leaves, it's really a gorgeous place to be in the spring.

Care for a Cocktail?

I picked up this sweet little bar cart at the flea market yesterday. It's certainly not the sturdies item I've ever bought but for $15 and a couple coats of spray paint, I think it might be cute!

Bar carts seem to be having a renaissance right now. And I love it! I'm not a big drinker but I do like me a cocktail so I think this will actually get used in my house.

Ok, I think this *might* be the wallpaper for the entry way. I can't freaking make a decision to save my life on this.

It just rained a little -- hopefully washing away the thick layer of pollen that's covering everything.

Glory of the South

This is when our little split level starts to look almost charming - spring! Our azaleas are blooming, the lawn is green, the trees are leafed. And everything's covered in a thick layer of greenish/yellow pollen. Ah, lovely. As an allergy-prone person, I'm suprisingly NOT having a total histamine freak-out. Sure, a few sneezes here are there but I haven't had to hit up the Zyrtec at all.

This tree in my neighbor's yard is just so. pretty.

I put up my prints a few weeks ago and I love them! My living area is yellow/blue so they fit right in. I think they class up the joint a tad, no?
