Sick Day

Ava is in the other room taking a well needed nap. She's had a fever for a couple of days now that has really put her out of comission. While she's taking a nap, it gives me the opportunity to post.

So what's been going on?

Work has been really busy. So busy we have to work mandatory overtime for the next couple of months. But busy means job security so I guess I'm okay with it. My paycheck is also looking awesome these days so I'm not complaining here.

Ava has grown so much in the past couple of months and she learns new things every day. Tomorrow she'll be 11 months old and one month closer to turning the big O-N-E! But I'll post more on that later.

I have really worked hard at giving my drab livingroom a fresh look and so far I think it looks great. We still are working to cover up one more wall but it's really coming together. Here are some pictures I took so far.

You can't see it really well in this picture at all, but those red vases in the back I bought from Pier 1 are beautiful and were the perfect color! We had a collage of pictures hanging on this wall but replaced it with a mirror. I think it opens up the room.

We painted an accent wall and I think it brings the whole livingroom together.

I love the curtains hanging up here. Noah should like it too because it really keeps the sunlight out and my husband would love it if we lived in a dungeon. I compromised with the curtains. We have a photo collage to put up behind the t.v. I think once that is up I'll be very pleased with my living room. I should have taken before pictures.
