Tables and Boots

I just realized that I never shared pictures of our new coffee table!  It was not a significant purchase, but I feel like it made a significant difference in the look of our living room!

This is the "before" picture of our living room:

On a whim, I decided to search for coffee tables online in Facebook market place.  I just love those kinds of websites (FB market, Craigslist, Offer up, etc)...  I get it from my momma who's addicted to a good garage sale and Craigslist deal!  

I came across this beautiful table and started negotiating with the seller.  Depending on the seller's situation and how long the item has been online, you can sometimes get a great deal!
This table is larger than our old table and it has more of a walnut color than a cherry color.  I like to fold laundry on the couch so it's more space to stack clean clothes!

This is the "after" picture:
Our old table served me for 3 years living on my own after I graduated college.  And then later this table helped make our house a home after we got married!  It was a great table but I'm excited for a little upgrade in the space!  I think it looks much more modern than before!  I love it!

That's about all I have for today's short post except I wanted to share some pictures from last weekend!
Saturday, Jordan and I met my Uncle Kenny and Aunt Rebecka for dancing at Cowboys Red River! Jordan and I took a few two-step classes in the Spring and quickly realized that there are about 4 different versions of a "two-step"!  Upon closer inspection, I really think that most couples dance whatever step they feel comfortable with.  Jordan's a great leader but I'm a terrible follower.  We definitely need more practice but it was great to boot scoot to great country music with my aunt and uncle!
Top Left: Jordan and I in front of Red River.
Bottom Right: Mom let me weasel my way into borrowing her red boots for the occasion.  They fit perfectly and my feet were comfortable all night!
Bottom Left: Token picture of Abby.  We try to give her "rides" as often as possible and she LOVES hanging her head out the window to smell the fresh air!  I snapped this picture of her with the help of our side mirror!  Abby even knows where the button is that controls the window and looks at it until you press the control.  Crazy pup!

That's it for today!  Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   Here's the run down of our new pl

July 4th with Family

Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she was a puppy (see her Chri

Doodles and Drawings

Image
I've continued to have fun with my Tombow calligraphy markers that I talked about on my Tombow Watercolor post.  Pinterest is rich with unique and interesting art!  I've found that it's extremely relaxing to sit down and doodle with my markers while sipping quality wine and listening to some music.  It makes for a messy kitchen table but I feel very chill and in my own element! The only new piece of art I have to share is this "hustle" poster I made for a friend.  I began by playing with the texture of watercolor paper (verses usually using "media" paper).  The water and markers react completely different depending on the surface and paper.  I ended up with this woodland-ish doodle. Leaves are probably not the most interesting focus, but I had fun playing with the different shades of greens and browns along with the various textures of leaves.  I have so many shades of markers so it was a great opportunity to use them all!  For fun, I even
