House Tour: Our Office

I have been working on organizing and decorating our new home
I have been hitting up pinterest for everything!
I saw this pin of a cute wall organizer from PB (pottery barn)
So I am working on a knock off snell affordable version.
I still need to get one more square cork board and file holder.



I gotta admit, before we moved into our house
I spent days on the couch (if I wasn't working) and watched TV and movies

Alot of people talked about how they never watched tv.
I was like what?????????
What do you do with your time?

Well Welcome to being a home owner haha
I want to clean, organize, and decorate from sun up to sun down!

I always wanted to do the home tour when the blog world was doing it.
So now that I have my own home I'm gonna do my own little tour.

First up is the office.......



A while back I repurposed the old desk I used when  I was a kid






Messy craft Closet ( upcoming project)



Another Pinterest Idea, cardboard S wrapped with black yarn and white fabric flowers

A good good GOOD day!!

I found this cute shirt at Wal Mart for $7.00!!!

And I finally found the new bedding for our room from Carson's!!!  I have been searching and looking on pinterest for something and today I found THE ONE!!!   On Sale 70% off... BOOOOMMM!


We had our final walk thru and we move in next week!!!
Booooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmm!!!







Special thanks to hubs for practically breaking his knee while jumping the tarp surrounding the yard to make it in time for the self timer to go off.  Its those things that make me love you even more!!!


Esme

Ok so while we struggle to have little ones
Our Furbabies keep us happy :)

I know it probably isn't as fun to see our cats as kids but this is our world now
and I believe somedays it is just like having kids!

Esme is our little love doodle that we just can't wait to see what she does next
She is white with blue crossed eyes
it is something genetically with cats that if they are white and have blue eyes they are deaf
she is also partially blind
so her main sense is feeling
when we first got her we held her up to our necks and talked to her
so she tries to get right up next to us when we talk to her
she has a little problem with personal space :)

She has the craziest meow and doesnt realize how loud she is.
It is pretty stinking hilarious and I want to get it on video sometime

Everytime we come home from work or being out I think she has seperation anxiety
When we walk in if she is not sleeping you can hear her meowing
and you can find her doing this.....


Yes, whatever clothes we have laying around she will carry them everywhere in her mouth
so we come home to clothes all over the place
it is pretty hilarious!

Oh the live of a furbaby mother :)

My brain needs a nap and you don't want to miss the ending.

So for some reason some posts are really easy for me to write then other ones I just go totally brain dead.  I go around all day doing stuff and thinking oh I want to blog about that or oh take that pic that will be cute on the blog!  Then it comes down to it and I have a brain fart.  I have about 5 different drafts in my edit posts tab.  I am pretty sure my blonde hair has finally taken over my brain.

One thing that I am finally getting a chance to write about is getting rid of all the excess "things" when we move.  I always love a clean slate.  I love giving away things that I am sure will be of good use for others.  Anyways what my blonde brain is trying to say is that I am getting ready to get rid of a ton of things!!!!  I thought about doing a yard sale (I always hate doing them after I get started on them), ebaying stuff (I am ebay illiterate and find it more of a pain than anything) or craigslisting (well I am just not into it).  So I figured I would try and help someone out or give our stuff to people that will actually benefit from it.  Off the top of my head I know that I will have a ton of mens and womens clothes and scrubs.  Kitchen items.  Scrapbooking and crafting items.  Among other things.  I am slowly starting to realize we dont need THIS MUCH STUFF!  So if you know someone that is in need of any clothes or things for their home and I will see if I got what they need,  email me at esnellrn@yahoo.com.  Here in a few weeks I will make a list and take pics for anyone that is interested.  There are some clothes that are name brand that I have never even worn but maybe once.  (you know when you think "someday" I will fit in them again).  Thanks so much :)


Oh and by the way, DOESNT IT FEEL AWESOME OUT!!! :)
