Made with Love: Living Room & Dining Room

(you can scroll over the photo to see what our living room looked like before we knocked down a wall :)

That table is with out question my favorite pieces of furniture! It was handcrafted with love by my Pops (an endearing term I use for my step father) and my older brother. I have longed dreamed of having a farm house table to be set under my milk glass chandelier and he built it for me! If I had any idea how much work it was going to be,  I probably would  have never  asked! But I am secretly so glad I did! Because I can't even walk by it without smiling. 

He was hardly able to walk after long days of working on that dream of a table. And if you look closely you can see on the bench he put his brand on it :)

Something else I love is the painting over our fire place. It is a replica of the one that hung in my great grandmothers living room. I had been hinting to my Mom for ages that I would like it! I was thrilled when she gave it to me...They of course wouldn't let me carry it on the airplane so we paid a girl heading up to utah to bring it back with her in her tiny car :)

Jett taking a peek in the mirror and saying "Dad??" Close enough buddy!!

and of course I had to include the last two photos of what our home looked like when we purchased it! Kyler still wishes I would let him put a TV above the fireplace, like the previous owners had... ;)

Thanks for letting me share a bit more of my home and the things I love inside of it!

* My sisters husband deployed today. Please keep our soldiers in your prayers. I am so grateful for them and to live in this country!

Jett's nursery tour

That little kitchen was The Husbands when he was little! That alone makes it 10 (million) times cuter but watching the mister stand on his tip toes to pour a pretend glass of water......now that amount of cuteness can send a Mama over the edge :)

My favorite part of his nursery is the size, the photos really don't convey that! His little sister nursery on the other hand is going to be teeny tiny in comparison.

 My Madre is making the little ladies bedding! which will make it even sweeter! I can hardly wait! Her theme is going to be flowers and hearts <3 

Pinterest is only fueling the fire.
