Give It Up For The Pups

I have to take a minute and brag about Remington's latest accomplishments.  This week (in the span of about three days) he learned how to lie down on command.  We had already taught him to sit, but it took a lot longer for him to master, so we were shocked when he nailed his new trick so quickly.  And today, he got into the bathtub all by himself!  This might not sound like a big deal to some, but Remi has always HATED baths.  So much so, that he goes and hides in his cage anytime he hears the shower turn on.  Normally, we have to pick him up and carry him into the bathroom to place him in the tub.  But today, with a little coaxing, he got in all by himself.  He still didn't look too happy about it, but hey, we're making progress!

It's amazing how the tiniest things can make me so happy.  If I get this excited about what my dog can do, I can only imagine how you parents must feel about your kids!

Whether it's your kids or animals that make you smile with joy, here is a great idea for a way to honor them...and add a little fun artwork to your walls.


I found this fabulous idea awhile back (before Remi came along) and stashed it away in my "great ideas to use later" file.  The fabulous girls at Simply Bloom Photography came up with this idea to show off their pups in their office space.  If you can't already tell from this image, this photographer duo is extremely talented and creative.   Their amazing knack for capturing modern-vintage imagery has led them all around the world shooting weddings and portraits.  Not too shabby for some girls who hail from Huntsville, Alabama.  Check out their website.  I promise you will leave inspired!

Happy Friday everyone!  Me and the hubby are off to Dallas for a long weekend!  
Here are a few things on my agenda:
1.  Go to Gigi's cupcakes...I am a Sprinkles girl, but I've heard so much about this place, it would be an injustice not to check it out. ;)
2.  Grab lunch at Banana Leaf, a Thai restaurant in North Dallas that has the BEST cajun fried rice I've ever had in my life.
3.  Hit up Wisteria Outlet...yes I've mentioned this before, and we did go...but it wasn't open.  I will not be defeated again!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

    I love this idea! I'll definitely have to try with Murphy once he gets his hair cut. :)

    Love their photography style too. Such talent coming out of Alabama!

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together.  The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys.  So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door.  The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room.  Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not.  You win some.  You lose some.  I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace.   A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the o...

Guest Room Before and After-Healing Aloe

 Here is a shot of the room in all of its coral glory.  Great for a teenager, not for a soothing guest room. And here is the Healing Aloe after.  Healing Aloe is a color by Benjamin Moore. It was hard to get a good shot of the true color, but it is more of a seafoam than gray. Aside from painting the walls and buying a new white quilt for the bed, everything else in the space we already had--most of which are hand-me-downs (bed and dresser) or thrift store finds (lamp and side table).  It will all be sufficient for now, and hopefully a space that our guests will love. I'm very happy with the outcome and the progress of one more room in the house coming closer to completion.  One down, three to go (at least in the painting department!)

Table Decorating Contest

Jon and I are leaving to spend a long weekend in San Antonio with his parents and his brother (who will be town from Arizona).  But before we go, I wanted to leave you with some pictures from the Officer Spouses Club Table Decorating Contest that was held last night. I called Jon on my way home from base, and he immediately asked "How was the contest?" to which I responded "Victorious." The 32nd FTS, our squadron, took first place! The theme was Silver Screen so we decided to focus on famous quotes from each movie genre. Each place setting featured a different movie. We had a "drive-in" for our center piece where clips of the famous quotes were shown. Welcome to the Jayhawk Drive-In! Wizard of Oz place setting. The glass had a button you could turn on to make the water swirl and look like a tornado inside. Also notice the witch's feet sticking out from under the plate :) A close-up of the yellow brick road I painted. Silence of the Lambs pl...
