an introduction to our home



this little guy watches over our worms all summer. we thank him by burying him alive in the snow in the winter.




a print in our bedroom. simple.




year #1 memory jar. not only do i love having these memories to look back on, i also love that we do not buy stuff or souvenirs. unless i absolutely love it or it is functional, then it is not in this home.




this may be my favorite item in our home. only i would love a seashell owl this much. but i just do for many reasons.




we bought 6 of these chairs for $20. six! the seats were in bad shape but for another $20 we made them pretty again.




this mirror belongs on a desk (below) but i split the two so it could happy up our mantle.





this chalkboard changes daily. today it is a to-do list for james, a green lantern drawing from brody and a note to bubba reminding him where to go potty. this little corner of our home is my favorite.
*i should also point out that if you look closely at the chalkboard door, james had erased some of his to-dos. he didn't actually do them, he just didn't expect me to take a photo of the door to then realize later that some of the to dos had been erased. busted. *

 


we bought this adirondack bench for $10. it was green, blah. james replaced a couple of the boards and i gave it a new coat of paint. it's perfect now. we also got 2 matching chairs for another $15 but they are hidden in the backyard bc i haven't painted them yet.




the other 1/2 of the mirror. this guy sits in our kitchen for no other reason than to be awesome.




where we were married. a reminder on our photo wall. not that we would forget. but it makes us smile.
