Phewf! This week has been a doozy! I reeeeeally, really, really hoped to post about the accent wall in the girls’ room today, but alas (as usual) DIY throws us a curveball. We’re waiting on a tool to come in the mail so we can finish things, and it’s been delayed another week. UGH! Luckily I’m not a planner and I can roll with the punches. I seriously considered posting a sneak preview, but I just can’t do it y’all. I JUST CONT DO IT CAPTAIN! (name that movie!). So for now I’ll at least show you the color scheme we have going on in this room. I was inspired by these colors. Pretty right?!
In other news, we posted the mini wooden state ornaments on the Etsy Shop, and had over 50 orders in the first day… YIKES! You guys are really in the Christmas spirit, huh?
We posted a listing for unfinished wooden state cutouts as well, and that seems to be the most popular… which is nice because that saves me a lot of time, and allows YOU to get creative! I’ll be spending some quality time with my scroll saw in the coming days, that’s for SURE! Nick announced that he’s willing to help… so that’s sweet.
Which reminds me! The other morning I woke up to a GORGEOUS bouquet of flowers, a super sweet note, and already-brewed coffee waiting for me. Nick works 2nd shift and gets home at 2:30am, so he was still sleeping when I found it. I think I have a full-blown crush! Sorry ladies… he’s MINE!
A couple days ago, I forgot that we hadn’t changed the clock in the living room for daylight savings. The girls were especially cranky, and I was short on patience… so I decided it was a good night for an early bedtime. I put them down at 6, and they were out cold by 6:15… which was actually 5:15. WHOOPS! Sorry sisters! They must have needed it, cause I didn’t hear a peep from them until 8:15 that next morning. Heh heh. Fifteen hours might be a new record!
What are you guys up to this weekend?

Uggggg. I just realized I’ve missed the past 4 posts. They aren’t showing up in my bloglovin again 🙁 BOO!
But in regards to your post: Nick is such a sweet husband! The flowers are as beautiful as you 🙂
I seriously need to stop thinking about what fun these ornaments are going to be when they arrive! I love the concept of a set of all the places a person has lived. Ordered 7 already and contemplating another 6, since my sister and her family are moving right before Christmas. Might just have to cheat on our sibling gift-drawing to make sure my hubby and I get her and her hubby…
I just love this last picture of your girls at their table. My mom is a twin (she grew up in Iowa) and my grandparents would tell a story about their second Christmas, my grandparents only had $10 to spend and they chose to by my mom & her twin sister a little table & two little chairs. Apparently the twins sat there all day long babbling to each other. They were so delighted with a simple table & chairs.
That is such a sweet story! Are your mom and her twin still close.
Dammit Beth, i’m a doctor–not a magician! But even so, I believe that was Scottie from Star Trek. My husband watched all the reruns on NetFlix. Lol.
love the color scheme! and I ordered a state ornament yesterday & posted it on my blogs fbook page. 🙂 can’t wait to see what you come up with for it! this weekend we’re installing new vanities in both our bathrooms… I can’t freaking wait. My dad is coming up to help, and I pay my help in meatball subs. 🙂
Thanks for ordering and sharing on your page! We’ve had such an amazing response! Good luck with your bathroom upgrade. How fun!
I see someone already got it, but it is Ace Ventura Pet Detective, right? Anyway…also love the color scheme for your girls room I could never get enough pink. Can’t wait to see it!
That would be Star Trek!! I love the colors and can’t wait to see.
Hehe… I was thinking Ace Ventura Pet Detective, but it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that line on Star Trek too!
Ace Ventura Pet Detective?!?!? I can’t wait to see the girls’ room, I love the color scheme! Your work is amazing!
YES! One if my fave movies!
