Feeling Blue... or Navy

Tar Heel Basketball: "It's exhausting"

Just a little glimpse of this past Saturday morning during the Carolina - Clemson game.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Here is what the wall of our entry way looked like when we moved in.

I tried decorating it about fifty different ways but was never happy with the way it looked.  

I turned to the web for some inspiration.

The common elements between these entry ways that I liked were 

1. a mirror

2. a lamp

3. flowers

Off I went in search of a mirror.

After browsing the aisles of Target, Ross, TJ Maxx, Tuesday Morning, Goodwill and a random Durham Antique shop I found... NOTHING.

My mom told me to be patient and assured me that I would find something that I liked.  Well, she was right.  I crossed the street and went to HomeGoods where I found... 

  

A simple but pretty mirror.

Next was hanging the mirror.

 I started out with the mirror a bit too high on the wall.  

A few little nail holes later and it was just about right.

I added flowers and lamps and... tah dah!

The lighting is better during the day so I will shoot another picture and post it later. 

Going Green

I've been wanting to incorporate a little GREEN to our color scheme.  When I found these plates for $2.99 at Home Goods I went for it.

 I don't have anymore $0.10 plate holders, so for now I'm just leaning them.

The Office Update

I'm done!

Not great but I'm over it!

 A few art books.

A touch of Eagle Lake.

The Office

As you may recall this is what the office started out looking like.

Then it went to theses...

To be honest, I still don't really like it.  Especially since it doesn't even look like an office any more.  Ahhhh...I'm not sure what I'll end up doing.
