There is just sooo much out there to choose from and I LOVE it all!!</div>

Most southern towns are "stops" that they make with their warehouse sale, and for me its a must shop!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you ever shop the warehouse sales??</div>

Well... it happened, she said "Mommy, I still like ballerinas, but can we make my room fun and bright?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I suppose its time. She is a glitter loving, bright colors, leopard wearing kindergartener.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had her help me every step of the way with picking out colors and making sure she is going to love what I pull together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had a fit over this Annie Selke fabric so this is our launching point!</div>

I took a little break from the ole blog but it ended up being much longer than I originally planned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been steadily plugging away at small projects around the house and I have been helping all sorts of clients beautify their spaces!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a wonderful holiday season and made so many memories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The biggest thing I learned in 2014 is I was spreading myself way too thin between designing, projects, monogramming, room mom, and trying to be a parent to three with a husband who travels full time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So hubby made a career move and we couldn't be happier to have him home more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So be prepared to see lots of rooms come together much much faster!</div>

Yall.... this week of the ORC kicked my tail!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ps dont forget to go check out everyone hosting the event! So much progress!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--kZHyJUGhm8/VEh_gKH8DNI/AAAAAAAAKBU/hxNwW3TYSQ8/s1600/18f380fb5ae9322da5fb730415475171.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--kZHyJUGhm8/VEh_gKH8DNI/AAAAAAAAKBU/hxNwW3TYSQ8/s1600/18f380fb5ae9322da5fb730415475171.jpg" height="320" width="233"></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This past week....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We primed and primed and painted and painted, and removed hardware, and hardware grime and just wow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paint is soooo overwhelming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So with the week that basically says get it together, its Do or Die.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the kitchen island is sadly dying for now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We just don't have time with the magnitude of cabinets we have to paint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent two whole days on a goose chase finding the ideal foam rollers for priming and the proper purdy rollers for the finishing paint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is where we currently are. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7FvYcoH2SaY/VEiBlIxncNI/AAAAAAAAKBg/tUxrLZpGcIQ/s640/blogger-image-27575839.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7FvYcoH2SaY/VEiBlIxncNI/AAAAAAAAKBg/tUxrLZpGcIQ/s640/blogger-image-27575839.jpg"></a></div><br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not where I want to be, but... its progress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did get the fan hung and the old light taken down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the vent hood is hunt but not wired in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Ever had one of those weeks where you were on the hamster wheel and thought for sure it was a cross country race? </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
That was this past week.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
If y'all want to click back through to Week 1, or Week 2, click the highlighted text!</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
Fabric still hasn't arrived, one of my kids broke a cabinet, the vent hood came in and its hard wire not plug in. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Just simple issues no longer simple. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We DID however drive to Mobile to pick out a different slab of granite from a good friend of ours. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I got excited thinking maybe... he could hook us up with stone in a couple minutes but DUH the whole logistics of moving the stone has to happen before it can be fabricated. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So lets drool until we can pick it up either early November or over Thanksgiving.</div>
<div align="center">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-krVlDE8NuYo/VD8-h-_e6vI/AAAAAAAAKAA/pC_Hrf6w76s/s640/blogger-image-1412791612.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-krVlDE8NuYo/VD8-h-_e6vI/AAAAAAAAKAA/pC_Hrf6w76s/s640/blogger-image-1412791612.jpg"></a></div></div>
<div align="center">
Again. forget about the time and drool.... think about how these splotches in the slab look like Jadeite.</div>

In other news we de-glossed and got to business on the cabinets. The "island" part of the cabinets are primed, then the fumes got to me and I had to switch gears.</div>

We hit the ground running this week! </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the scurrying, gathering and trying to decide week. </div>
</div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to the stone yard and selected our granite for the island we are building. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Something grey, taupe, white and with lots of veining please. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up we grabbed our vent hood, and ordered fabric samples. I am all over the place with fabric so stay tuned. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Either the greens or maybe this:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have measured, know my yardage, and have cut my template for cushions. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Need to gather zippers and gasp the tacky and dreaded clear vinyl. The kids only sit in 2 chairs so a removable sleeve will be used so I can still have pretty cushions. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Green leather seemed over the top and this room Needs softness and color. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After grabbing the venthood I grabbed all my painting supplies and read and read and read some more, quadruple checking I have everything needed to get to work! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got busy on the backsplash and I am happy to report that is fully DONE!! Feels good to have one of the major things checked off the list. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you all know I will be transforming our outdated 1979 kitchen and bringing it back to life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few quick things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. countertops stay. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we just replaced BOTH our HVAC so ughh my 12,000 countertops are keeping me cool in the summer and toasty in the winter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2.this house is the money pit, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so it is HIGHLY possible something crazy will pop up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this could get way fun!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. I have been dying to do this since we moved in 14 months ago!!!!</div>

We are so sad to see them go but I know they are looking forward to being close to friends and family back home.</div>

This is the sitting area off of the kitchen area. </div>

Picking out kitchen appliances is such a daunting task.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DHMOEJ0OHGI/VB12mr1dzHI/AAAAAAAAJ3Y/h9Twox5MLUk/s1600/2013-09-18%2B18.54.36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DHMOEJ0OHGI/VB12mr1dzHI/AAAAAAAAJ3Y/h9Twox5MLUk/s1600/2013-09-18%2B18.54.36.jpg" height="640" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(horrible picture but this is where we started)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most people pick a brand and stay with that brand throughout the kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We somewhat did this last fall during the black friday sales.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found this dishwasher first and knew that would be our launching point for appliances.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t5U9RKesJOc/VB1sW_Km7aI/AAAAAAAAJ2o/evrF3XjnsNM/s1600/883049239590lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t5U9RKesJOc/VB1sW_Km7aI/AAAAAAAAJ2o/evrF3XjnsNM/s1600/883049239590lg.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the Whirlpool Gold 55-decibel tall tub dish washer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It also has the additional rinser for the top rack!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lowes.com/pd_362071-46-WDT710PAYM_0__?productId=3546992&Ntt=whirlpool+gold+dishwashers&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dwhirlpool%2Bgold%2Bdishwashers&facetInfo=">Here is a link to this appliance!</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that we have had it almost a year I can say I like this dishwasher, I don't love it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It does a great job cleaning the dishes but the drying is so so. Not a deal breaker for me, but I have noticed its mainly on plastic items that don't dry thoroughly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once we found the dishwasher we went with <a href="http://www.lowes.com/pd_166196-46-WMH31017AS_0__?productId=3734793&Ntt=whirlpool+gold+microwave&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dwhirlpool%2Bgold%2Bmicrowave&facetInfo=">this</a> microwave.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-on9NAuEIhmA/VB1tWx88Z6I/AAAAAAAAJ2w/xUxuz3kXTtw/s1600/883049254371lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-on9NAuEIhmA/VB1tWx88Z6I/AAAAAAAAJ2w/xUxuz3kXTtw/s1600/883049254371lg.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are not huge microwave people but for what we need it for, it works great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that we had these two picked out we then shopped for a beverage fridge to replace where the trash compactor had been.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.atgstores.com/wine-coolers/edgestar-es-twr215ess-21-bottle-dual-zone-wine-cooler_g671792.html">We purchased from atgstores.com. </a>This is an online store owned by Lowe's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has worked great and we love keeping pellegrino's and soft drinks in here for when guests come in town or we have people over!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last appliance was the most overwhelming one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-magdNCITpM8/VB1vpkGMuII/AAAAAAAAJ3A/IHUT3TMtT3Q/s1600/2014-08-18%2B09.25.44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-magdNCITpM8/VB1vpkGMuII/AAAAAAAAJ3A/IHUT3TMtT3Q/s1600/2014-08-18%2B09.25.44.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
up until about a month ago we still had this beauty, General Electric 1979 oven.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It sparked when you opened the door, cooked unevenly and the control buttons wouldn't actually turn the thing off!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our home warranty was days from expiring so right before our vacation I called and scheduled an appointment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sears was sent out to evaluate and they did a 10 day investigation trying to find parts for this oven instead of just replacing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was actually poolside with the lovely <a href="http://www.thepinkclutchblog.com/">Paige</a> and got the phone call they were going to replace the oven!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WOO HOO!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, all they wanted to give us was white or black so we made the decision to pay for the upgrade to stainless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seriously changes the whole look of this kitchen! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NO JOKE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to say I love this oven, now... my standards leading up to this were pretty low but I have been very pleased with the cooking time and sleek design!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.sears.com/frigidaire-3.8-cu-ft-built-in-double-electric/p-02225583000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1">Here is the link to the oven!</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
now we do have 2 appliances left to replace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fridge and the cooktop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cooktop was a beautiful let down when we discovered there was no way to run the copper down the wall for gas :(((((</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we have been casually shopping the smooth cooktops trying to determine what we like!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the monster... the fridge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This little chair has seen lots and lots of love over the years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My parents purchased a set of these chairs at an antique auction years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recovered this chair in our old house and then my sweet little angel found a black sharpie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A BLACK SHARPIE on my beautiful Robert Allen fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then after the sharpie incident it just kept getting beat up. Over and over! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just gave up at that point, young toddler C was a force to be recconed with and one I was not willing to battle the art of recovering.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore, we went into waiting mode!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast-forward to our move here, I knew I wanted to recover but didn't know what in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gxR7JYIhfnY/VBrXb2I0foI/AAAAAAAAJ14/W3t8cAkjltk/s640/blogger-image--1038846236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gxR7JYIhfnY/VBrXb2I0foI/AAAAAAAAJ14/W3t8cAkjltk/s640/blogger-image--1038846236.jpg"></a></div><br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I shopped for a while until I found this smokey cut velvet wonderfulness!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">The upholsterer brought her back to life in no time!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my white Annie Sloan, clear wax, then dark wax, then clear wax, then watered down some guilders paste and left an awesome metallic sheen to the chair. LOVE how it turned out!</div>

If you live in the south, then you have likely been to a tailgate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if you read last years article in Southern Living on Tailgates you know Oxford is where it's at!</div>

(sidenote: at alabama the tailgates are a hair more casual and not so "done up" but I think the actual act of tailgating is such a fun experience in T-town!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

typically when you host a tent, you invite people to visit, sure... you can have red solo cups and other disposable but if you can have personalized cups and a fun "signature item" in your tent! why not?</div>
