So this is what I have been up to this weekend. Getting my house back together after painting.

I got: A new area rug, coffee table/ottoman(with storage) curtains, throw pillows, throw blanket and black picture frames.

I am really liking the new look. The husband just needs to put up the crown molding I want now....

And the 13" TV for some reason does not cut it for the husband.... We actually have a finished basement that our family room is in with a TV I feel is WAY to big!!!!

When we bought our house we had a deal that I could do what I wanted upstairs if he could make the basement his area..... His "area" is slowly getting taken over with toys and pink and it will only get worse!!!!!

The dog cage is new for Shelby. I am working on cage training her now, maybe I can teach and old dog new tricks!!!!! As you can tell the cage is huge, so I am calling it her condo. I am working on this so that when Kitten comes home Shelby will have her very own space.

I am also loving the new rug I got for the future Kitten play area. I needed some girly stuff to help block out all the Chicago Cubs and Bears stuff. I am planning on using the shelve thing for toy storage. I got the rug at Target ($99.00) I loved it and it is a really nice rug, I did not think the price was to back it is 5'x7'. The shelve and baskets are from Target also. Can you tell I love Target??????? I am now looking for a little person table and chairs to go on the rug.

I am holding off putting stuff back on the walls in the living room because I want to see what I can get when we go to Vietnam, I think it would be really neat to decorate with stuff I find over there.

Here is to a new week, the last week of March, may it bring good news to those of us on pins and needles waiting for phone calls (referrals or travel calls).
