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.

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. 

Silhouette Love

Lately I have been drawn to very graphic art, in particular silhouettes. A few years ago the hubs and I did an art project together, we made silhouette heads of our dogs and I am totally in love with them and they are now in our guest bedroom. Heres a few inspiration ideas...
