Sprucing up the Place!

I have been on a little kick to get a little more organizes, clean out, and get some of our pictures hung of our family pictures we had taken in the Fall.  In the meantime, I have added a few decorations as well.  Pretty much just things that I already had.  What I can say is that our house decor mostly consists of pictures of our little family of three.  It may seem a little overboard to some, but it is what we love! 

Here is a little taste of what I have done. 

On our entryway cabinet, I added the Family vinyl that Kristin had given me and placed our new 16x20 picture up there.  Not totally in love with the way it all sits up there, but I can add to it later!   I love having a big picture up there but it kind of looks little compared to the open frame.   Mr. Elf or otherwise known as Elfie (he doesn’t haven an official name yet) just happened to be sitting up there too! 

Added a fleur de lis between our big tin metal frames.  Jeff recently put that shelf up for me too.  I had it under a bed for a year.  I couldn’t decide where I wanted it! 

Updated our gallery wall with some recent pictures.

Awww…Can you say L.O.V.E.??  I am so in love with Hayden’s room right now!  I moved his furniture around a bit and picked up this storage center with bins at IKEA.  I loved the storage area for a couple of reasons.  One, we already had a few of the bins.  Two, it is perfect for Hayden to play on.  I am thinking Santa might bring some trains and tracks and it will be perfect for that!   I added those frames above his bed too.  I got those super cheap at ROSS.

It is also prefect for all his cars!  As if he didn’t have enough, Jeff’s momma found a box full of Jeff’s old cars, Transformers, GI Joe’s, and various other toys. I am not sure who was more excited, Jeff or Hayden!  There are several cars from the 70’s and 80’s.  So cool and of course Hayden LOVES them!  The GI Joe’s and Transformers are put up for a while.

I moved his canvas and rearranged his shelves a little.

I got his chalkboard/magnet board at IKEA too for $15.  Love it!

I also got another sweater/shoe closet hanger at IKEA too.   Perfect for stuffed animals, board books, toys, and of course shoes.  :-)

I finally got something above my dresser.  More pictures!  ;-)  I am looking for that perfect something to go above the top center picture. 

I got this metal scroll “S” at Canton last month.  I think it was $8.  I loved it because it was old, paint chipping off it, and because it looked like an S.  I think it was taken from a porch.  I had been wanting something to go between our mirrors in our bathroom. 

A little something above our towel rack.

I got this S unfinished at Hobby Lobby for $1.  I painted it red and added it to the burlap wreath in our extra bathroom!  I love the little punch of color it adds!  Wonder if I might need to make some rosettes to go on there too?

There is your little “sprucing up the house” home tour!

What did I accomplish today?

I think I can finally say that I got all of ours and Momma and Daddy’s presents wrapped!  WAHOO!

 

Robin helped me make a fresh batch of cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning!

It’s almost Christmas Eve!!  YAY!
