Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Girls Weekend!

When life is getting too crazy and you feel like you're being pulled in too many directions a girls' weekend is the perfect solution! I tell you what (as my friend Kate always says), going shopping with the girls is exactly what I needed to get me through the last week of school before spring break!

We headed to Columbus, OH where we did a little lunch and a little shopping. Sooo many stores, sooo little time! The next morning we headed to Jeffersonville to check out the Potterybarn Outlet. Found some good buys there like this cute little West Elm table for $30.




Next we headed to my favorite place... Of course IKEA!!





Found some goodies like these awesome pillows! (Thanks again Kate!) I can't tell you how long I've been searching for pillows! Of course IKEA had the perfect ones for the perfect price. Now I just need to find a little rug to pull the whole look together.



Also, found these cute lanterns for on top of the cabinets. They look really cool when we turn on just the top lights.



Whew! Kind of a whirlwind tour but what fun! Definitely looking forward to our next outing! You girls are way tooo fun! What happens in Vegas (or Columbus) stays in Vegas!

Kitchen Makeover with Beadboard

Ta-Da!

Except for a few details the kitchen is finally done. We added beadboard to the backsplash and changed the wall color from green to gray. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. The door is not on the pantry yet because it still needs painted. We painted the beadboard in a high gloss white and when we installed it next to the existing molding it made the molding look yellow. So we've been painting all the molding to match as well.

Hubs says he can't wait for spring so I can stop giving him "winter" projects!
