At last.....my love has come along...

Okay, so I already have "my love"....but here's another! Most of you know that when I purchased my armoire top, I placed it on my dresser...which meant the mirror had to go...with hopes to be placed on my chest of drawers...but really it's been leaning against a wall in our room for three months now...rambling, I know!

So today of all days, I was determined to get that thing up where it belongs. Originally I had planned to attach it to the chest, but I really didn't want to drill a hole in it...it is GORGEOUS!! people!! It was my Grandmother Richardson's and there's no telling how old it is...did I mention it is SOLID wood. We're talking heavy stuff here. My parents refinished it a few years back (the entire suite) and it is amazing. Okay, back to my story....my only other option was to hang it on the wall. Solid wood = need studs!! It took a lot of work, but I eventually succeeded (no, you should not try this by yourself!). I am very pleased with how it turned out...

You should def see it in person...come on by!! :)

Here's my other recent accomplishment (again, do not try this by yourself as I did!) I moved our mirror from the living room into the bedroom and turned it to hang vertically. I've been wanting to do this for some time as well and finally got around to it a few weeks ago. LOVE it!

Did you notice the Razorback bag? My sister made it for me as a diaper bag, but I tend to use it for everything! :) In fact, I carried it to the Hogs game last weekend to hold all my camera "stuff" and a lady stopped me and said, "That's the bag I wanted!!" ha...I told her, "my sister made it for me!" Yes, she should go in business!

How about the truck on top of the armoire? Notice that? It came home with Raegen from the church nursery a few months ago. When B and I have had all we can take, we discreetly confiscate it and park it in the garage. ;)
