sneak peeks and new favorites

john and i have been doing a ton of reorganizing and redecorating in efforts to make room for soon to arrive family visitors. [let's just say our house has too many 'decorations', and not enough kid friendly stuff!] we haven't spent much money - just a few dollars here and there to add a couple new items - that i LOVE. [i know realize that the items i bought are just MORE decorations...but i just couldn't help it. :) ]




















[new silk flowers...clearance, $2]




















[retro green vase...savers, $ .99]















[amazing orange basket...clearance, $4.97]




















[pillow made out of john's old dress shirt...free and super cute!]















[my new favorite little nook...also free, just a new home]




















[owl picture...got the owl idea from a friends blog, whipped out my paint and i absolutely LOVE how it turned out. isn't he cute?!]

more pictures of the completed spare rooms to come...but not until after they arrive and see them first!
