nesting.

tooooootally what i look like when i clean. image via pinterest

about a month ago, we decided to wait to buy and house and stick it out another year, with three boys, in our little two bedroom house. which is fine. really. except that all of my nesting and creative instincts should be going in to a nursery. and i have none. bummer, yeah. but at least we have a roof over our heads!

so to channel my need for cleanliness and productivity ive been cleaning! oh! the amount of bon ami we have gone through! the grout! the bathtubs! the baseboards! needless to say, by the time im done dust and fingerprints will be a thing of the past.

anyone else having sudden (or not so sudden) cleaning urges lately? or any cute nurseries i can be jealous of? ;)

trash to treasure, yo.

you guys, after a seriously long and pretty crappy day last week, jeffrey and i took the boys downtown for pizza and then drove around the lake, looking for homes like we always do. and some silly person had gone through their garage (treasure trove) and thrown out furniture! and, to be honest, a lot of other crap too (floppy disks!) and i found me a something that i liked!
we had been "needing" (its all relative) a sideboard/buffet type thing in the dining room for a steal, aka free, and this piece fit the bill. so i went to lowe's, grabbed some paint, rifled through my knob collection to come up with a random assortment of clearance anthro knobs that i seem to accumulate and the hubs painted it for me. what a winner, am i right?
so, here she is. literal trash to treasure! and yes, it houses the lego police station- it must be protected from little brother.
