Where has the time gone?

So it has been a little bit of time (only about three years) since I have updated this little  online diary I have going.

A lot has changed, but we will get to that later.  I  am working on getting my interior  design business out there... further than my house.  

I hope for this to be  a place that I continue to place the things I love,  dream  about, hope for, and love.

This will always be the place where I hold thing that  I find beautiful- new or old.  That's why the things I love will  always be rustic and sparkle-

Confessions of a cubbyhole addict.

There, I said it, I LOVE CUBBYS.  I just love to organize and seperate and ooo just gets me all giddy inside thinking about everything having a specific spot for it to belong and to call it home.  LUURVE it.

Theres just something that makes you feel secure and warm about having a little hole to have your bed in with some shelving around for your nighly reading and a little light. Ahhhhh.

So, are you with me on the cubby bandwagon?  Huh, are you with me?

Where you at?

First of all, I have no excuse for my brief hiatus... I blame good weather and late night fun. 

Secondly there have been many things going on in our house lately, some of which can be explained and some that can not.  All that can be said is that we are in need of your thoughts and prayers. 

Due to recent events my husband and I have had sleepless nights, long conversations, and not alot of questions that need to be answered and most likely will not.

I whole heatedly believe this is one of those times in our lives when we will look back and see it as a turning point. 

There is one truth I know, we will get through to the other side and there will be more joy for us to experience, together.  One positive of a struggle is you either bond together or grow apart.  We truly are closer now than ever.    

On a more positive note we have a beach vacation coming up that I could not be more ready for. 

Baby Shower

I am planning a baby shower for a precious little girl that my cousin Ava is having. Its the first baby girl in the family for a while so it will be VERY exciting to buy pink and frilly things. I cant wait! Here are a few pictures I am using for inspiration for this very pink, white and red baby shower.

Go, Chargers Go!

 I am going to take a side bar today and talk about something I don't usually consider my area of expertise, Basketball. 

Today is a very special day, my little cousin Tyler is playing the NCAA Elite 8 tournament in Massachusetts. He will be a senior this year and is extremely talented with alot of heart.  Here are a few recent photos/articles about him.

Its been a long time in the making and we couldnt be more proud of everything he has accomplished.  I wish him, and the Chargers the best of luck today.

GO CHARGERS!



Birthday HIgh

Soo... last week I turned 24!  I know almost a quarter of a century, but I was VERY blessed to have such a wonderful work day (my coworkers decorated my desk) a wonderful lunch with my mom and brother at a new resteraunt, The Eaves, here in Huntsville.

Wednesday night is Mexican night at the Tillman house so we had takeout and ate at my moms with my whole family.  I got some AWESOME gifts from my favorite home store Anthrologie and of course my Nanny made the best homeade strawberry cake!(it is currently in the freezer being converted into cake balls)  Hubs said it would make him look like an elephant if I didnt get rid of it, so cake balls were created.

Here are a few of the things that I recieved from my family and Michael:

I feel truly blessed to be treated so special all year long.

Slim Pickins- Bathroom Style

So... I'm trying to choose a color to paint my vanity this weekend.  I am leaning towards white for two reasons.  1) I have the paint already and 2)  I have no idea what other color to paint them.  See, the problem is that I have cream counter tops that aren't in the budget to replace currently and white would be a nice complement  to our trim and the counter tops match our Biscuit colored tub and loo. 

Before:

Painting the inside of the closet.

Removal of door frame and beginings of the sheetrock work.

More on that later....We were going to case in the doorway and just keep the door off because, as you can see, the doors backed up to each other before.  We went with the blue accent color on the inside of the closet and I'm thinking (fingers crossed) about doing a wall stencil on the base wall color to separate the bathroom from our bedroom, its just one continuous room.
