IT'S HERE!!! Christmas is HERE!!!!!!

ok so i know its only the 22nd but its basically here. (btw, i do this often..."we're basically there" on I10 at tanger outlets heading to BR;  "you're pretty much done" to brett when he still has 1/4 of the yard to cut...you get the idea).  BUT, it does feel like its here b/c brett is coming home tonight and all the house guests arrive tomorrow!!! omg Omg OMG!  i'm only slightly panicked on the inside.  all crafts are COMPLETE...well, the ones i started....and now i just need to vacuum and sweep... D-O-N-E! oh, except for poop patrol in the backyard. ewww...maybe i'll leave that for brett tomorrow, hehehee.
i'll be posting pictures (finally, i know right?!) of our house!  i'm so excited about it but really finding a passion for decorating that i constantly think about it.  and stalk the decor blogs.
stay tuned.....
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

25 days...

well, not exactly.  because our xmas guests will be coming in approx. 22 days which means LOTS to do in a short amount of time!!!  the in-laws are coming to us this year so obviously i feel the need to get our house so warm and cozy and christmas-y and perfect because that's me.  i think we're doing a fake tree this year because brett thinks real ones are poisonous to dogs?!?!?!  any truth to that???  well, our pup tends to eat plants and a dead pup during xmas wouldn't be ideal so fake it is.  fine by me...less pine needles i have to sweep up.  btw, i'll be doing all the pre-guest clean up b/c brett will be in training. ugh.

i still want something for the entryway...i did buy a garden stool in white...even though some interior designers say they're getting a little old.  i LOVE them!  the homegoods employees see me frequently looking for an entryway table plus other stuff!!  i just can't seem to find the right table.  so frustrating.  BUT, my dining room chairs are in motion.  distressed grey frame with black and grey circle fabric. LOVE!  thanks to megan at My Louise in Baton Rouge, i'm going to be obsessed with my dining room shortly.  go visit her store!  i'll post pictures of the house tomorrow...we're hanging a couple more pictures tonight.

i still want to make pillows for the living room.  we have the blah pillows that came with the couch that are the same fabric as the couch.  i just need fabric.  has anyone seen Guililana and Bill?  btw, i love them!  i want their book too.  but they have these neat white pillows with a black border and black block letter initial in the middle.  its so simple but classy.  i want.  for the bedroom i have euro pillows and they just need covers for them.  our walls are grey, trim white, duvet white, sheets green and accent lamp of seafoam green!  hahhaa  brett wasn't a huge fan but it looks great!  i want a print for the euros i just need to find it.  and did i tell yall about the bamboo directors chair i found at homegoods???? L.O.V.E.  sometimes i don't know why things speak to me but this did. i need a throw pillow on it to soften it up a bit.

other than boring house stuff...not much is going on around here.  we've been exploring savannah a bit more. restaurants, antique shops....i'm just waiting for visitors.....anyone?????  anyone?
