Dining Room Inspiration

Yes - my wedding china is still in boxes in our basement & we celebrate our third anniversary in November!

We moved out of our condo and into a house a year and half ago and I was so excited to get my china from my Mom's to have at our house! But - we have done so many projects to make this house a home and the dining room is the last untouched room, but now I want to focus my attention on it and make it as unique as my office.

First Up - I want to find a Harvest Table like this one on Country Living. Any suggestions on where to find one?

Retro Wedding Photo Display!

Loving this post from Brides magazine providing an alternative way to display your wedding photos!

I am thinking about using it for my son's first birthday to track him through his first year! Could also be used as a thank you gift to your parents or displaying your engagement photos to keep your guests entertained!

Simply go to Image 3D upload your digital images, add 3D captions and a few days later your view master will arrive in a sleek white box on your doorstep. The first set (includes viewer, one reel and gift box) is $25 with additional sets costing just $15 each.

Christmas in July!

While everyone around the US celebrates the 4th of July this weekend, our family has Christmas in July. Since my in-laws relocated to the beach and never get to have Christmas in their beautiful home they decided to host the family for an honorary Christmas in July every year.

So, every year in July my family and my sister-in-laws fam from Seattle gather in NC and enjoy 95* in the sand and the sun and gather around the Christmas tree in the evening. Santa comes every night and the house is quite the neighborhood spectacle; my MIL decorates the outside of the house with garland, bows and red, white and blue Christmas lights. Yes, we do celebrate America too - thank you to our troops!
