Inauguration?

Nahhh, It's MLK! Inauguration has been such a non factor in my life this weekend, it's not even funny. I'm just glad I got to avoid the crowds. 

Everyone woke up and left early this morning. I was still in bed, lol. We slept in and then headed down to F-burg to Sketchy's parents for the day. We checked out quite a few furniture stores thinking there might be some MLK sales. Fail. We're still on the hunt for a nice dining set and a coffee table. that will conclude our furniture hunt! So excited to be that close to the end. 

We did make a purchase today that I'm unbelievable excited about. We finally got an Area Rug. I loved it as soon as I saw it. So we got it. I love it even more in the living room. It really matches so very well!

Area rugs and curtains. The easiest way to add color and style to a room without much effort. our living room is finally almost complete so here's a peak. We're only missing the fireplace and blinds (blinds to come soon and fireplace to follow soon!)



New couch and rug in dark


A little brighter with Kitchen in background


New couch, Rug and Sofa Table! Need bigger baskets and four NOT three Nalini, four. There are four squares. Will remember next time I'm shopping.

I love our living room. It feels warm, inviting and cozy to me! I just need those damn blinds so I can sit there and enjoy dinner and a movie without feeling like people are staring at us!

Working to get the mancave into decent shape for the Superbowl Party. Lots of wall decor and such should be rolling in this week from Amazon!  

Haven't done Life's Little Things in a while. 

Life's Little Things

Thing 13? I don't even remember which number I'm on but 13 sounds right. Anyways, Mail. I now understand why a lot of people get mail to their offices. Packages are just left on your doorstep! I like our neighborhood and trust it so it's not really an issue but you never know what mother nature is going to throw your way. Especially with our crazy DC weather we've been having lately. One day it's 70, the next 20! OOC. 

Thing 14: Vents that don't close. Interesting. Never seen 'em before til I've seen ours. There are a few in the house that do close, but basically if our bathroom doors are locked, it's like a sauna up in there when we run the heat! I feel this should be an easy thing to change. Will need to add to the list of updates in the house.

Alrighty, work-week here we come.
