k+j christmas

It's beginning to look festive around these parts, folks. Merry Christmas!

knee deep

It has been a busy week. One with lots of messes, very little cleaning, swimming pools, friends, and a few good meals thrown in there. We are knee-deep in the bathroom redecoration and I can't wait for the artwork to arrive! We are also leaving tomorrow to celebrate our 5th anniversary! I am excited to spend a day on the beach and a nice night out with my favorite person in the world.

It will be a short trip as we need to get back to finish the bathroom and move on to bigger, scarier kitchen renovations. We finally went down to Ikea and made final decisions on sinks, counter tops, and accessories. Now we just need a big ole' SUV and a contractor to finish the job. I also have some exciting custom orders to work on when we get home and I am anxious and ready to get back in the studio and get some work made, it feels like it has been a long couple of unproductive weeks in that department.

tulips and teal

Birthday tulips from my parents and our new teal hallway. I think I like it. I have to get used to, but I like it!

I will post more pictures once the second coat is done and the mess is cleaned up (thanks to the mister for doing ALL of the painting and letting me relax, you're the best!)
