Our Place

(see my car and Patrick's covered scooter) (Our place looks basically the same)

And now....welcome to our home in St. Louis. No we haven't moved in yet, can't wait till July 31st (Literally). Before you go any further let me explain myself. I was looking at our new kitchen thinking how am I going to fit all my stuff in these cabinets. So, I decided to draw a blueprint, not believing it was possible, and thinking Mom could use it when she unpacks my kitchen (wink wink). Where do you draw a blue print? Why on your computer in the good old Microsoft Paint program. I got started and realized two things. Number one, my stuff will fit. Number two, this is really fun and time consuming when your sitting around the house all day waiting for interviews. I started adding decor, and before I new it I had a folder full of drawn bedrooms and cheap decor (we are on a budget) that I found online. So for all those who will visit, you will know what to expect. For all those who can't you can feel like you've been here. Oh, wait I haven't even been here yet! But it looks oh so good on paper! Go ahead...open the door and go on in.

You walk in to our living room. Same stuff as before, just a bigger room and a different arrangement. The walls are a light gray/blue and we plan on buying brown curtains. No our rug and pillows aren't that ugly, my skills on Microsoft paint are.

Down the hall and down the stairs is our basement.

Our bedroom is also down the hall. We already have the the blue sheets, curtains, and the gray duvet. We hope to buy these brown curtains from target to cover our closets. Found this rug for cheap at Wally World . Just maybe...cross your fingers...they will let us paint our room a burnt orange.

The ONE AND ONLY bathroom located across the hall from the bedroom. I bought the following blue rug (2), shower curtain, and green lantern from World Market before I left Lexington.

The kitchen and dinning room are back down the hall by the living room: Which is where I began all this madness.

Joann Fabric that I am going to use to make a shade for the kitchen.

Blog where I got the directions: http://http//littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2009/02/make-shades-out-of-mini-blinds.html

Rug, spoon rest, and dish towel I bought at Cate and Barrel for the kitchen. Love that store!

Finally the patio off the dinning room. Now you know what to expect when you come to visit us (anytime). See ya soon!
