This is Me!

The evolution of a living room

It started in the summer when my brother built our new mantle.  And now I have the bug to change everything in that room.  I started with the paint first.

Here's a reminder of what we started with.

Then it looked like this:

And now it looks like this:

I carried the paint into the kitchen which I think looks really nice.  It is the perfect blue/gray color that I actually mixed myself out of two mistints.  I am loving it!

Vintage Bleu is born

Myself and a friend of mine, Eryn, have decided to start our own vintage furniture/decoration boutique called Vintage Bleu.  Our first show/sale is going to be in December at Eryn's, where we will showcase lots of new stuff that we have been working on.

Here are a few pics of the latest stuff I have been working on.

Playing catch-up

I am the worst blogger ever!  It has been so long since I have updated this and now I have to post like 20 posts to catch us up.  Oh well, please forgive me!

Let's start with the kids 3rd birthday.  We had a party at a local place called JJ Jump.  It's an indoor play arena with bouncy houses, slides, and obstacle courses.  They had a blast.

Then we had Halloween.  The kids were both dressed as vintage clowns which turned out so cute!  We took them to downtown Camas for the boo bash were they get to trick-or-treat to all the local businesses. Then on Halloween night we headed over to my parents house for some dinner, donuts, and trick-or-treating in their neighborhood.

The adults even got into the spirit of things too..

Even Grandma got in on the action!

He has arrived!

Our newest family member joined us on Friday.  We named him Koda and he is the cutest thing ever.  We are trying our hardest to get him to stop peeing and pooping on our carpet, but despite that, I still love him.
