our home...again :)

I can't believe we've been in California for more than a year! Time flies when you're having fun, I guess ;) ha....
Okay, so for family who have asked...here are some pictures of the updated decor :)
I am banned (by myself) from changing anything else for awhile. I'm working on this thing called contentment ;)
I didn't take pictures of every room...Mason was sleeping and you've already seen Adelyn's room :) Nick's office hasn't changed....and the bathrooms aren't that interesting. :)
Anyway...here we go.....

We got a new duvet with the help of a Christmas gift from my father in law :)

I actually saw it on a blog a year ago and have been eyeing it...

I. Love. It.

Adelyn was following me around and wanted me to take a picture of her "funny face"

I made this chalkboard from an old cupboard door.

For little notes and memory bible verses...

I got some fun throw pillows all on clearance at one point or another....

and I looove the gallery wall...I have another post on that, so stay tuned ;)

I got this rose one for $3 on clearance and BBandB this last fall! woohoo :)

I have actually come to like this little alcove above the tv alcove.

I didn't know what to do with it at first...but now it's fun to switch things around (to my husband's chagrin)

{clock, flowers, box and "F", bird: HL..bird cage: Michael's..birch candles: etsy}

The mirror is one I got from my mom when we moved. It was going to be in Addy's room, but is too heavy to hang. I repainted it and popped it up there.

The "mural" on the wall is actually cork placemats that I hung with 3M picture strips. If you haven't discovered these, you need to. 99% of the things hung in our home are with this (including the gallery wall)...not a nail hole in site :)

I love owls. I don't know why. I just do.

This is the new center of the table since I first took these pictures

Just to prove that our house is not picked up all of the time...here is the toy room with 4 days worth of play:
