Here is our sliding glass door that leads out onto the balcony. I strung some roses around the door and put my Love letters above it. I normally leave the blinds cracked a bit during the day because the cat likes it and we have a bird feeder out on the balcony.


Here is a close up of the letters and the flowers.


Here is miss Sophie enjoying the spotlight!

 

Our Home – Kitchen June 8, 2006

Here are some pictures of our kitchen. It is done in a Rooster theme. Our condo is a pretty much open floor plan so I had to go with colors and schemes that compliment one another.

Above the cabinets I have put ivy and then my collection of baskets and my collection of copper molds.

 

Our Home – Office – Misc. Room June 7, 2006

This is our office/music room/misc catch all room. This room is a complete mess! We are wanting to turn it into either a music room or a spare bedroom. But we aren’t sure what to do with it! All I know is that the desk, chair and bookshelves are going to his dad as soon as he comes up from Alabama to get them. Do any of you have any ideas on what to do with this room? Whatever we do the piano and the bass stay.

More Entryway June 4, 2006

Here is a close up of the mail bin. When first purchased the mail bin was bright white. Although very pretty, it didn’t really match. So I had my husband antique it and paint it with a crackle finish. The sign hanging above it says, “Welcome, May God bless all who enter here. May you go out with joy and be led forth with peace.”

This hangs at the very end of the entryway. I found the hanger piece (with the knobs) at a garage sale. The wreath was purchased from Hobby Lobby I believe and the old keys were purchased at Kirklands. The mirror was given to me as a Christmas present.

This final picture is in the hallway. The hallway starts at the end of the entryway and to the right. The small picture mirror is the ending of the hallway and the entryway (if that makes sense.) The big old mirror was a really dark oak finish. We sanded it down and antiqued it and applied a crackle finish. I then took the ivy and arrange it on there along with a few angle figurines. The old mirror belonged to my parents bedroom set. They had 2 of them and I took one.

 

Welcome to our home – entryway June 4, 2006

I decided to post a few pics of our entryway.

This is the front door to our condo. In case you can’t see the colors very well, it is a blue wreath. There is also a blue front door mat that didn’t make it into the photo.

This is from the front door looking in.

On the left is a closet, then our mail bin and some photos of some of our friends and us. On the right is a few of our wedding photos.

Here is a closer view of some of the wedding photos. The one on the far left is of me and my mom. The middle one is just me and the one on the far right is my mom and my grandma from my mom’s wedding day.
