I bought some cheap flowers the other day to make the house feel a little happier and the time was right!.

Maybe even a little stark?That’s OK, that just means I’ll have no choice but to have lots of fun bringing in some character and color.

I’ll take that over dark and depressing any day!.A bright new wall is a great excuse to finally bring out my favorite Summertime vase!.I think I’m on a roll!

Now, onto that next wall!And those ugly closet doors…Last Summer, Kennedy and I had a great time making all kinds of treats during the weekdays when she was home from her various camps.

Cooking with kids is probably the greatest trick ever for a mom.

First of all, it accomplishes something (Hey look!It turned into a pretty fun little project and a cute little baseball-themed add on for the room.. Oh my goodness, friends.

It’s been so non-stop overcast here lately, so this picture is all kinds of terrible, but you can see the room is coming together pretty nicely now.It’s to the point that Chris thinks it’s done (it’s not) and he keeps patting himself on the back and rubbing it in my face that I thought we wouldn’t have it completely finished by the time the baby got here.

Of course, I still have about 73 more little details I’d like to work ok, but to a normal, sane person, the room is done.Anyway, here’s the lamp without the shade.. We bought a bat and cut it down to the size we wanted.
