Around the House!

Things are definitely settling in around the house and I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a new couch after viewing some amazing rooms on Pintrest!  I found a few things around the web that I felt were a must have for the house, so I promptly purchased them.  I may have purchased this cute hanging shelf thingy on my phone as we were driving to San Diego on Saturday morning for a race, thank goodness for Etsy and the internet that made it happen but a word to the wise it is not a good idea to have your credit card number saved anywhere on the internet cause with a couple clicks you have now purchased this and this! 

I have been collecting pallets for a wall project that I want to create in our entryway. I have been researching the best/easiest ways to create the vision I have in my head and I am sooo ready to get to work on this project. I also discovered you can buy broken down pallets at Home Depot for $16.99, I am thinking that might be the best route to go.

Just an idea off of Pintrest.

I found this table that I want Super Dad to help me make, I am thinking after my 7^th grade woodshop class I would be a huge help to Super Dad and this would look great in our living room in black.  

Update:  After looking for the link to this table I found this sofa table to go with the coffee table, maybe just maybe Super Dad could help me make a bench for the entry way as well. Oh My Gosh I need to call him right now!

The Sheriff and I spent a good portion of Friday afternoon discussing our landscaping issues and sprinkler system, quickly after our discussion I sent my sister a “HELP!” text, she will be coming over on June 18^th to help us come up with a game plan for the yard.  I am also trying to convince the Sheriff that we can do a lot of the clearing out ourselves to save $$$ and I keep telling him he can buy a chainsaw to do it, he is not biting, gah, yard work is so not his thing and it bums me out because it is mine but I lack the muscles to do some of the projects therefore I NEED him.

I spent a couple hours working on our pool deck chipping away at this broken plastic spacer type thing that needs to go!  It is going to be a long tedious project, so if any of you have a teenager who needs to work off any type of punishment, please send them my way, this is the perfect project to set them straight, I will provide the protective eye gear cause shards of plastic flying towards the face could put an eye out.

FUN!

Black arrows indicate all of the spots that need work, several more are not pictured.

We have had a rug situation for the last 45 days that we have lived in our house and this situation has created a lot of unnecessary drama between the Sheriff and I.  Thanks to a 15% off coupon and five - $10 off coupons I was able to save over $100 and purchased a couple of rugs to help us out.  OMG, the drama was too much!  Hopefully we will not need to revisit the rug conversation for a long time or until one of the dogs or the kid destroys it.

That is it for now!
