exciting stuff
14 May
Last weekend for Mother’s Day, I decided that I wanted to finish decorating my living room. The last couple of weeks, I have been putting up some pictures from our wedding and a BEAUTIFUL picture of Christ that Bryan bought me for my birthday. The only thing left was a focal point above the couch. (the Cardon’s next door have this great picture above their couch that I’m totally jealous of, so I needed to find something that would look almost as cute) So, a few weeks earlier, we went to IKEA and found this really cool mirror, and after looking around at a couple of other places, it was the best deal and would look the best — so we went and bought it. After we bought it, we brought it home and my handsome handsome husband and Jordan moved the couch out of the way and went all “handy men” on Kinsale and I and put it up on the wall. They found the stud, drilled a hole, and measured where the other hole needed to be (only one inch away from the other stud) and put the screws in (surprisingly, it’s really sturdy too). I was really impressed and I think it really ended up looking great. What do you think?
Another exciting thing:
The last couple of days at work, I have been creating a special VIP invitation to an event we are putting on for the President of our company and a couple of other important people. I was talking about the invitation with some of the other designers and we came up with the idea to do a pop up card to invite them. So with Andrea’s help we came up with some options. We had some big plans for out of control mountains popping up out of the card, but we took a little different route. So today, I finished it and I think it turned out really cool. We only need to make five. We cut out all the parts today and will put the cards together tomorrow. I’m pretty impressed and was very pleased with the final results. (the pictures aren’t the best… sorry)
Love the mirror! Totally make you place feel more homey(is that word?)
That card is awesome good job. I hope the people you give to like as well.
I’ll have to come check it out one of these times. Your pictures are too big!
Oh I love your living room! It looks fabulous!!! And you are so so so creative with the pop up card! NEAT!
Your house looks great! Good job… and good job on the invites. they really did turn out great.
Awesome front room and invitation! My goal is to be as amazing as you when I grow up.
Looks like that you have a very great house.
I love the mirror! Guess I should get over there and see it in person!
We have an IKEA mirror too. We were given ours for our wedding. My brother had one at his house and I fell in love with it. So he got some people from our singles ward together and they bought it for us. I think it really finishes the house.
