Going white

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

My second guest bedroom used to look like this:
Well, it's not so welcoming anymore. Audrey is taking over.

My first nursery project involved painting the focal wall white. And let me tell you, it was the weirdest experience ever. I never thought I would ever paint a wall white. I kept reminding myself, that...

Beer Party: The Sequel

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

Our second annual beer-tasting party was a success (and yes, beer party: the trilogy is already in the works for next year).
The guest count was a lot smaller this year, which I was originally nervous about, but I have since decided that 30-40 people is a fabulous size. It let me socialize with everyone. The...

Audrey's growing wardrobe

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

When Brent and I found out we were having a girl, we celebrated by hitting up the baby sale at Gymboree and buying a few must-have pieces.

When my mom found out we were having a girl, she did the same thing, just on a whole new level.

Yeah, my mom is just a tad excited. When I confronted my mom last year about...

The first nursery decision

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

I knew I wanted a focal wall in the nursery, and after much debate – I'm going with this:

Hello argyle! I am so excited. And yes, those are the nursery colors. Black will also be added to the mix, but every time I added it into the argyle it looked to harsh. So I'll toss it in elsewhere.
I'm not exactly sure how...

The latest purchase

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

It finally happened. Brent got a new car.


The game plan changed several times, but we eventually settled on a 21012 Altima. While the original plan was to go used, with all the amazing deals going on currently with new cars, it didn't make financial sense not going new.

One of the musts on Brent's wish list was...

Dreams

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

Me: I had the weirdest dreams last night.

Brent (giving me a nervous look of where I was going with this, after hearing about another recent dream)

Me: I put in my retainer.

Brent: That is weird.

Me: Hey! I do that occasionally! Anyway, in my dream, when I took it out – half my teeth came out with it, including...

Ikea, round 2

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

Brent and I are doing an Ikea roadtrip to Minneapolis this weekend, and I'm just a tad excited for it. Plus, I've never been to Minneapolis for pleasure, so it will be nice to see the city.

While our shopping list isn't as big as I was originally expecting, it will still be a productive trip.

The List
