Let the Demolition Begin!!!

That busted tile brings a huge smile to my face.

My hubby is a stud and an awesome tile smasher!

It's pretty dusty around here but we are a few big steps closer to our ultimate goal!!

Home Goals 2012

I can't wait to share all of the projects we completed in 2011,

on and off my Goal List.

But first, here are my 2012 goals!

My biggest 2011 goal actually didn't get completed before December 31...

so now it's been added to the 2012 list.

the ball is rolling and we are about to take on a major remodel.

can. not. wait.

I literally sit in our family room and dream of what that space will be like!

soon.

Happy 2012, to all of my fabulous followers!

I am so pleasantly surprised that you stuck around - probably missing my posts terribly

 ha.

Thrilled was I to see that no one left during my sabbatical.

Sadly, my last post was September 16th!

WOW! I missed posting fall and Christmas decor - oops 

but we have had a quite eventful 3 months around our house!

We were blessed with baby #2 on October 3rd and have been soaking up time with her!
and wrapping up some house projects - a few of which are featured below.

Here is a recap of what we've been doing...
I am so excited to be back and look forward to sharing all of my

decorating and remodeling throughout 2012 with each of you!

our precious baby girl was born!

finished hand painting/ stenciling the laundry room..
Hubby called it my "Sistine Chapel" haha

celebrated Thanksgiving with my family!

spent lots of time with my sweet mom!
I don't know what we would've done without all of her help...
quite an adjustment going from 1 to 2 kiddos!

baked and decorated lots of Christmas cookies!

spent a blessed Christmas with family celebrating Christ's birth

Hubby designed & built a coatrack area
(details and more pics coming soon!)

and we're absolutely loving being a family of 4!

It's going to be an EXCITING year around here!
