this is a refurbed stool and i just love the burlap cushion cover. from come and take it.

i love my sorority and i collect ornaments so, duh! they do all kinds of customs, too. from FMH collectibles.

update: home decor

so a couple weeks ago when trav and i went to ikea, i picked up three unfinished mirrors. they are 3x3 inch mirrors set in a 10x10 inch frame. since the frames were unfinished i decided to paint them. right now i've favoring a gray and yellow color scheme, so i went to the store and bought some paint and went to town!

i painted one gray and two yellow.

then, i decided to do a little design on the yellow ones. i taped it out and painted over with the gray.

once i removed the tape, i got my ribbons ready for hanging. each ribbon is one yard.

the mirrors came with little hooks that i screwed in to the back. i measured two inches down and two inches in.

i then strung my ribbon through the hooks and tied them in a knot.

here are all three mirrors ready to be hung.

i hung them going up the stairs right outside my bedroom door.

straight on pic.

view from barclay's room.

i love the way they came!

p.s. here's an updated pic of my new bedding. i used my old euro shams (that i bought in austin a while back. and i love the pink!) and bought a new micro plush blanket in a deep eggplant color from target. more layers = i love it even more!

quote of the week...

"guys, you can't go to preschool. you're too big for preschool."

olivia said this to her parents as they were leaving for preschool orientation tonight. she's so smart and picks up on everything (seriously, everything!). i can't wait to hear stories when i pick her up from preschool. we start next week!

dazed and confused

"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age."

-Wooderson (matthew mccounaughey)

so dazed and confused is by far my fav movie in the whole world.

i know what you're thinking. really?

seriously. i think i was supposed to be born way earlier because i would have loved to have been a teen growing up in the 70's. plus it takes place in texas. and then there's matthew mccounaughey and ben affleck. what's not to love.

well add that one of my fav blogs, design*sponge just did a blog about it here and it just made my day!

"Check ya later!"

thanksgiving

i know it's a little early to be thinking about thanksgiving. (seeing as how it is still 94 days away)

BUT...

i found out the best news today.

mom and myra are driving up that week and will be here for thanksgiving in louisville and then mom is spending the rest of the week with me in lexington!!! yay, on top of amy's wedding that saturday this is going to be the best thanksgiving!

update: liv + lilly

so lots has been going on in the life of the lankster girls and their nanny!

today we spent quite a bit of time at the park. liv loves the playground and decided she wanted to feed the ducks this time!

lots of ducks!

watch out liv! here they come.

lilly is wondering what is going on and trying to get a good look at the ducks.

trav helped liv feed the ducks and then blamed him when a "big white won got too cwose!"

here's the only pic of me with liv. she loves the monkey bars and "one day when i gets bigger, i gonna do 'em all by myself achely!"
