Nursery Update-Stripes Are Up!

Sorry for the delay in posting, but we've been without internet/cable since yesterday when a big storm came through. We had up to 90mph winds and as a result a large limb snapped off our tree and landed on the cable line, snapping it in half.

Luckily someone was able to come out today to fix it, and now we're back in business!

Today I have an update for you on Baby Cohen's nursery progress. Mer's hubby and his dad have been busy getting the paint up on the walls. As you may remember for the last design board I showed you here, we're going with gray and white horizontal striped walls.

All taped off and ready to roll...

Ta-da!  I love them!  Don't you? The color is called Tempered Gray by Valspar.

In other news, look what I picked up at Hobby Lobby today.
Okay, technically she came from the Hobby Lobby parking lot.  I was driving home from the grocery store when I spotted this little baby roaming the parking lot next to the road I was on.  The parking lot is right next to a large 4-lane highway in town, and I was afraid she would get run over.  Seeing that there wasn't anyone around she could have belonged to,  I scooped her up and took her home with me.

Here's how the conversation with Jon went down (he was on his way home from OKC).
Jon: Hey Honey, I'm on my way home.  How's your day going?
Me:  It's going well.  I have a new dog in the backyard.
Jon:  Mallory...
Me:  I found her in the Hobby Lobby parking lot.  I had to save her!
Jon:  Mallory...

Hahaha.  Taking in stray dogs have become a bit of a habit for me since moving here.  Luckily, Jon has come to accept it :)  And he thinks this one in particular is a cutie.  We think she might have gotten out during the storms last night, but we're not sure.   And unfortunately, she has no collar or microchip to identify her.

I've called all of the shelters and vets in town to let them know about her in case someone calls looking for a dog matching her description.  Unfortunately, we'll only be here for one more week so I'm hoping we find her home soon.  If not, Remington, just might have a new friend :)  We're still trying to decide on what to call her in the meantime.  Let us know if you have any suggestions!

New Coffee Table

After more than a year of debate, I've finally decided on and ordered us a new coffee table! As mentioned here , there were several styles I was considering.  However, in the end the tufted ottoman came out on top.  Not only was it versatile, so it can be used for years to come, but it also will be good for when we have kiddos down the road.  I can't tell you how many people I know who have had to either remove their coffee tables for the safety of their kids' noggins or have had to add those tacky corner protectors.  I did not want to invest in a new piece only to have to stow it away down the road.  So this seemed to be the perfect solution.  And thanks to my Joss & Main membership, it turned out to be the perfect price too. I was all set to order a tufted ottoman from Ballard Designs.  I had already received a swatch sample of the fabric I selected and everything.  But a few days later, I got a notification from Joss & Main of a sale event called The Tufted C

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 office sans the Fr

A Heart

Lately, baby prep has been on the forefront of my mind.  Getting the nursery ready, packing the hospital bag, washing all of her clothes, setting up a pediatrician and the list goes on.  Sometimes I have to step away from it all (literally and mentally) so as not to get overwhelmed.  I put this pressure on myself to get it all done and done right.  I tell myself that all of these things are so necessary for her to be a good place upon her entrance to the world. Sure cute, clean outfits and a nice room are nice things for your child to have, but how lost I can get in the worldly things.  More than anything else, I know that the best thing I can give my daughter is a great example of a good heart.  A heart that empathizes and serves.  A heart that loves the Lord and longs for his relationship. A heart that is thankful and joyful even on the worst days. It's a frightening thing to ask myself "Will she learn this from you?  Will you be able to be that example?"  That carr
