Jordan and I are always looking for small ways to make home improvements without making a huge investment.  Lately, we've had a few little projects I thought I would share with you all. Furniture is a tricky thing and tastes vary from person to person.  I'm a sentimental and thrifty gal who also happens to have an eclectic taste in decor.  The mixture of all those traits has a made our house a hodge-podge.   Recently, I've decided I just don't like the dresser mirror in our bedroom.  The dressers we have are beautiful solid wood but they are just dated.  Jordan bought these dressers for me years ago so I'm not quite ready to get rid of them.  Painting them would be an option but I don't have the heart to cover up such beautiful wood finish.  The compromise I settled on is to update the dresser mirror.   Top Left: This is a beautifully crafted scrolly look but I'm just over it.  Is this a colonial look?  Not sure.  Instead of this mirror, m

Jordan and I had a great trip to the lake last weekend.  We haven't visited the lake in several weeks so it was nice to catch up with everyone.  The weekend had no schedules, fantastic food, and plenty of cold drinks!

I think I need this Brute - Hauler .   Top : This is just half of the gang floating in the water.  I much prefer floating and relaxing on the lake than floating down a river.  Everyone looks so chill and seem to be enjoying themselves!  (Sorry Elizabeth! I was

Jordan and I had a fantastic break this past weekend.  We got the opportunity to hang out with our friends, Nathan and Mallory!  They had plans in the Dallas area so we organized a little game night since we hadn't seen them in a while! Top : The four of us decided to go to The Rock to eat a little pizza.  This place was just being built when they moved.  As usual it was delicious food!  Jordan and I like the "Crazy Train" pizza a lot. Bottom Left and Right : We played several games after dinner and I discovered that I am HORRIBLE at the game, Pit.  As in, I never had positive points!  Despite my losing streak, I highly recommend this game.  The game is loud and hilarious.  Oh, and it also works a better with a larger group.  With only 4 people it was a little tricky to trade for goods.  After playing Pit, we played a rousing game of War and then moved on to Pictionary.  Mallory and I usually give the boys a run for their money with Pictionary but again , we h
