Sunday I said to David "Our drill has really lasted a long time!" and yesterday I got it out to install the shelves, and nothing, the battery was fully charged, but not a sound - I guess that's what I get! (has this happened to anyone else?) So off to Home Depot, they didn't carry the drill that we...
Credenza Update
Whew! We worked most of the weekend on the credenza and I am happy to report that we are almost done!As you can see, we painted all of the interior pieces separately prior to installation.

This week we finally got all four doors on! Let me tell you this was no small feat - the spacing had to be so precise.

Office Update + My Etsy Shop at LeLe Pets Today!
The printer/paper situation is a little out of control in my office (the other half of the living room) ... two printers, a silhouette, and scanner take up a lot of room, currently they are hanging out on two side tables and wires are everywhere which = me not happy! So to combat the printer,...
Fall Decor: Gold Magnolia Wreath
When it comes to seasonal decorations, I like to keep it pretty simple. This year for fall, I decided to make a wreath and after seeing Britt's fall inspiration from Gus & Lula. I decided to use magnolia leaves because I liked the shape and thought the thickness of the leaf would hold up well. Since...
