Lots of Love

This weekend was eventful, but it was eventful around the house! We have decided that we need to finally liven the 'new' house up and do those finishing touches that we seemed to put on the backburner for the past 15 months.  So, we headed over to Sherwin Williams…uh oh! We painted our bedroom Friday night; Grassland is the color and it looks beautiful (in my humble opinion). I don’t know why our bedroom was the last room in the house that we decided to decorate but ah, finally – a styled, complete bedroom that we love to be in! I cannot wait to buy the finishing touches for it. I’m thinking a chair, some throw pillows, linen curtains, and a few photos/pieces of art for the walls. We splurged and got new bedding last weekend from Pottery Barn that has yet to make it on to the bed, being that it is made of linen...and we have two pets...furry pets...who love to sleep with us. Hmm.

Better and more pics to come soon!

My sister and her boyfriend came over on Saturday to help us with phase 2 of our painting project -- the kitchen (Nomadic Desert) and living room (Kilim Beige). Lindsey and James made painting so much fun! They don’t take life too seriously and are always laughing at each other. It was a blast! We got a lot accomplished and really appreciate their help. 

That night, we went to a wedding in Conroe. Friends of mine from high school got married in one of the best weddings I have ever been to. It is easy to focus on the glitz and glam when you plan a wedding but Kim and Brent planned their event perfectly. The things that needed to be extravagant were, and the things that didn’t need to be, weren’t. It was so ‘them’ and you could tell that the whole event was focused on love and sharing in that love. I think that is exactly what it is supposed to be like and it was really refreshing.  We had an absolute BLAST though, eating good BBQ, drinking delicious margaritas, and dancing the night away with (my) old friends.

Sunday was consumed with painting and touch-ups, a bit of yard work, a visit with our neighbors newest friends, and complete exhaustion. But, the house is painted and we love it! Troy is actually working on a special project to go with all of our 'livening up.' We bought a used buffet/entry way piece last week to go in the nook by the front door/stairway. It is really pretty and will be gorgeous once Troy finishes stripping, sanding, and staining that beast. I have been waiting for an entry piece for over a year and am so excited to finally have one. Now the house will really feel warm and decorated, instead of new-house sterile and empty! I will be sure to post pics of the before and after as soon as he is done.

Yay for sweet husbands who don't mind doing manual labor to make you happy!

It's another busy week in the Davis household - hosting dinner with the Johnstons and my sis and James tonight, completing a huge cookie order (pirate-themed!), and invitations galore to work on. We head to DFW for Cliff and Rachel's couples' shower this weekend and we are really excited about seeing everyone. Good times :)


Have a great week, everyone!
