67 degrees today in Alaska...we'll take it!
Brigade Ball was a good time. I love seeing my husband all dressed up! Enjoy a couple of pics:

On Saturdays, Greg and I have been little worker bees trying to make this house a "home". Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of having my own "area" in the house..a dressing room! Complete with a vanity, tons of girly vintage glam decor, and even a mannequin wearing my wedding dress. Hey, a girl can dream right?!? Well, our house isn't big enough for that yet...our 2 spare rooms are being used as an office/
We went to Fred Meyers [one of the ONLY places to shop here] and found a fairly decent desk and random chair. For some, that would have been ok..but for me, I wanted to personalize it! In turquoise...my fav. accent color & new chair fabric! Here are a few before & after pics..
This is before...minus the chair cover. I had already gotten to that!
and after...
I have jewelry overload so we made this cute necklace & earring holder out of plywood, fabric, and cabinet knobs/pulls.
And I had no probem filling it!
all decorated!
This past weekend Greg and I built a privacy fence in our backyard. One would think that a privacy fence would be a normal thing that came with a row house..but apparently not in AK! Our neighbors have about a million kids that are SUPER loud, annoying, and constantly running right at our windows! And I'm a big fan of sitting outside every night after work..so privacy was much needed! Thank goodness I married a handy-man & I'm becoming quite the fan of powertools myself! Here's a few pics of that project:
Next up on our agenda: GARDEN! :) I never thought I would enjoy such "wife" things, but I'm really having a blast! Now, the real question is...should I paint the fence a pale yellow or leave it au natural?!? Hope everyone is having a great week!
