Little snipets of sanity.

Slowly but surely things around here are starting to come together.

We've gotten our first week of school behind us (now the homework will begin - ugh).

Football is in full swing & gymnastics has been delayed beacause of recent injury (she doesn't think she can do a good handspring with a bum elbow).

We actually hosted (sort of) our first guests last night. A couple that Daddy deals with at work offered to bring us dinner so we wouldn't have to cook in all this mess and after two hours of talking on the back porch we actually got to eat it. Southern hospitality - there's nothing like it. Thanks so much to them for the thoughtfulness. It was very appreciated!

With all of that said, I thought I'd show you small areas around the house that are gettin' there.

I just love this little guy hiding back there.

Here is a dry-run of the mantle. Nothing is nailed down yet so I can still tweak it a little and speaking of that..... I remembered a couple of purchases that I had made & rearranged it a little. I still have plans to put an ironwork scroll thing above the pictures but let me know your thoughts so far.

I just love this door with the light pouring through. This rug probably won't stay here but for now.....it's here.

Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully I'll have more to show you soon.

Have a great weekend!
