Exposed...

We are getting ready to finish painting the kitchen cabinets because this weekend we are putting in the new counter tops! Woo-hoo!!! My dad is coming over and we are gonna bust out a brand new kitchen {or that's what it is going to feel like to us!}.



I am so excited to have this part of the house done. The kitchen has come so far already. I wish I had pictures of it before when it was dark red and had nudie girls on the curtains {Ryan's bachelor days}



So if the pictures of my hall closet made you a little nauseous yesterday then these pictures will definitely make you feel a little better. But in the end I hope it looks as good as my hall closet!

A work of art...

After being inspired by my newest issue of The Nest I got my Martha on today!

The Fancy Coat

I have a coat that's fancy. I don't wear it a lot because lets face it I wear scrubs to work and sweat pants at home {not much need for a fancy coat in the circumstances} But today I put it on before I rushed out the door. It felt good. Nice and fancy. I thought this is just what my Wednesday needs with a little skip in my step.

Then at lunch I drove to Walgreens to get a few nessisary items but when I got there I realized that when I put my fancy coat on, I had also left my purse at home...bummer. So I drove back to work thinking that Wednesday was only going to go down from here. I was going to have no goodies from Walgreens and I was going to have to finish my thank you card mailing labels {yuck, yuck, yuck}

As I was putting my keys away in the pocket of my coat I felt something...what could it be? I dug down into the pocket {thinking I have only worn this coat 1 time what could I possibly have stuffed in there already?!?} I pulled out a white envelope with holly leaves on it. Could it be? Seriously??? YES! I found $25 in my fancy pocket! So I stopped by Walgreens again on the way home. Got me some Martha, cute notebooks, and Swedish Fish.

Hope you had a fancy Wednesday as well!
