... try, try again!

Remember my failed attempt to use these bird decals? Here they are! I put them up in the kitchen french doors. I think it cheers up that corner nicely. Plus, it didn't hurt that it got me to wash the windows. These birds have gotten more than my creative wheels turning, who new there would be cleaning elbow grease involved?).

Styling for our Times

Ever since Onyx started pulling up on the furniture, we have had to be careful about what is within reach on these bookshelves. We've come to embrace these shelves as her territory, and why not? She should feel comfortable and at home too. I don't feel this means we've given up, as if "we'll spruce up the house once the kids are grown" (who wants to wait 18+ years to love their home?). Besides, I love the color these beautiful toys bring into the space. More importantly, I love that it means we have a little one around.
