Bunches of Joy

My sis, "Mrs. Bunches", has started a new blog documenting her recent move to Western New York, cooking, house stuff, etc. You name it she'll probably blog about it. Ch-Check it out:

Mawwage. Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today.

I finally became a Mrs. this past weekend...Josh and I got hitched Friday in Santa Barbara, CA! It was an amazing weekend spent with family and friends, so fun and truly memorable. It all flew by, but we enjoyed every second and it was just perfect in our eyes!

I'm going to go ahead and use the excuse that I was buried in wedding planning details for the past few months, therefore never making any posts. But now that the wedding is behind us I vow to share more projects and house updates with all of you! I think Punkie and I might switch it up and hop over to Wordpress since it seems to be a little more user friendly - so stay posted for a new blog address update.

In the meantime Josh and I are heading to Greece tomorrow for our honeymoon! Athens, Mykonos, and then Santorini....ahhhhh, can't wait! We'll be looking at beautiful views like the one below for the next 10 days. Yay!

Valentine's Art

Remember this post awhile back with the Christmas "subway art"...well I just visited that blog today and they have a cute Valentine's Day art print. Since I still haven't placed a real photo in that white frame, and the Christmas one has been staring me down for weeks screaming that it would like to be taken down, it looks like this one will do the trick for now! --DS

Office Redo

OFFICE!! (Green isn't as slimy as it looks- more like a subtle avocado).
Anyways- I still need to finish the "chalk board" ..and install real shades. The one's I'm using are those paper temporary shades.





































OK I know the mountains are hard to see in this photo- but in person you can see them I swear! :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Well, maybe not since it's 74 degrees outside right now, BUT I'm definitely getting in the holiday spirit regardless! While reading my many wedding blogs during lunch at my desk, I ran across the following holiday poster art. How cute is that? (FYI...I found the original link on the wedding blog Marry You Me.)

I recently hung a collection of photos just off of our kitchen and haven't gotten around to picking an 8x10 photo for one of the frames. Needless to say it's been empty for awhile, but when I saw this poster I knew it would be a perfect temporary fix for my sad, white frame! I easily downloaded, printed it out and I think it looks great. Holiday decorating has begun! Check out some pics of my pics :)

Office Reveal

Drum roll please..........

Say hello to my new office! Well, sort of new. I finished it off a month or two ago, but didn't get around to taking pictures, and since our desks happened to be tidy it seemed like now or never! I really like how it all turned out, it's a very cozy room. I love the picture ledges that display photos and our degrees. I also hung a series of three magnetic boards to put up random photos (still in progress). One day I'll get curtains hung, but for now I'm content. --DS

Brutus really likes the office too :)

Look Kirin, the books are still color organized, just as you left them.

Spooky Spiders

The temperatures finally dropped over the past week into the 70s/80s during the day and a "frigid" 40s/50s in the evening. Our nasty hot summer in Dallas seems to be over, hallelujah!

It's hard to believe it's already October, which means all the fun holidays are just around the corner. We've just started to get in the Halloween spirit over here and decided we need to decorate! Josh came home last night and surprised me with some fun Halloween goodies. He immediately put these creepy crawly spiders in various spots around the house, and I added a few more today. I think they look fun on the hanging pendant light over our kitchen table.

Josh also picked up some mini pumpkins and these pretty Fall flowers.






































































He brought home a bunch of other decorating items from PB and Crate & Barrel for me that I'll put out soon. Does he know me or what...two of my favorite home stores. --DS

Punkie...do you have any fun Halloween decorations?
