Changes

So I have been lost in Blog Land. I get so caught up reading and enjoying others, that I end up forgetting to post on mine! My poor blog. LOL

We are firmly now in 2012. I have cleaned out Christmas and put our house back to some normal order. My little Mr. keeps asking me where did Christmas go? He keeps walking around and singing "Zingle Bells...all the way" LOL I ease is worries and tell him that Christmas is only 11 months away. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!?!

I am happy to say I have made some cute changes to my little abode. Ever since they first came out I have wanted a family picture wall. I mean what is more beautiful to hang than your family right? So I finally did it...and love it!

I even catch my husband stopping to stare at our memories. So thankful for all our family. I even have enough space to add more pictures as I go :-)

Then I worked on redoing my fireplace. I actually did buy a couple of new things but I also made a few too! I wanted to make the dollar tree candle holders but every time I went there were no candlesticks. So I ended up using the ones I had stored away from my wedding.  Now they are being used and they look great!

I took this picture to also show another piece of my Wedgwood. I bought this the last time I was in England. I loved the modern look. The blue and white is a favorite.

My brother had given me the image you see in the picture frame of "Keep Calm and Carry On." It was a bright red. I was planning on putting it in my kitchen but instead changed the color to brown and cream. I love how it it just perfectly matched. I wasn't sure if it would work with what I was putting on the fireplace but it's perfect! "Thanks little brother!"

Lastly, I wanted to keep some winter feeling in my decor. Its been fairly warm out here already. I am not yet ready to admit Spring is knocking on the front door. So I left out my red berries and these adorable bird figurines that got at the dollar store a few years ago.

There you have it. My few changes that I have been working on.

What have you been up to lately?
