Weekend 4 in California

This past weekend Cody and I didn't do anything very exciting. We just took it easy and relaxed. I cooked dinner for him for the first time in 5 months! That was exciting. Then we went grocery shopping together on Saturday. That was fun. I am so used to always going by myself now. Cody was a bit annoyed with how "slow" I was shopping, but I really wanted to enjoy the moment.

We rented movies and cooked dinner for ourselves all weekend long. We did go back to a THAI restaurant that we found last weekend for lunch on Sunday. Its really expensive, so we can't be going there all the time. lol Cody begged and got his way.

This upcoming weekend is our wedding anniversary. Not sure what we are going to do because there is a chance of rain for Saturday. I am ready to go do something since we haven't done much since I've been here. We are trying to get preapproved for a house loan. We are really leaning towards buying a home again. I have already picked a few out. I am trying to stay away from my usual choices of homes that are falling apart and need way to much work!!! I am drawn to those types of homes because I see all the hidden potential! I can't wait to get decorating and designing again. I already have lots of ideas and want to use them. I hope everyone has a great week. Thanks for stopping by!

Lovely Black & White { My New Blog }

Since I have plenty of free time right now I have decided to start a new blog: Lovely Black & White. I wanted a blog that I could devote to anything and everything Black & White. I plan to post images that I love. I will post about fashion, interior design, and photography mainly. If it is black and white and I love it, it's going on the blog!



If you are interested head over and check it out. Of course there isn't much on it yet since I just started it yesterday! I will be making changes daily I am sure. If anyone is looking for some help designing their blog please feel free to contact me! I would love to help!

Thanks!

DREAMING OF DECORATING

Cody and I are considering buying a home when we get stationed. We said we would never buy again after we owned our last home. We really had bad luck with it there for awhile. If we did buy, I think we would be a lot smarter this time. We aren't looking for a fixer upper, but we know since I like to decorate and every house we look at is NOT decorated well, we would someday install an IKEA kitchen. Here are some kitchens that are inspiring me right now...

Ikea ImagesThis kitchen has white ADEL kitchen cabinets from IKEA. I would probably pick the ADEL cabinets for my kitchen because they are not ultra modern like my last kitchen. I wouldn't want it to be to contemporary for resale purposes in the future. Here is a design board I made of the look I would like for my next kitchen. I am digging turquoise, white, and yellow with pops of black and white.

I picture white subway tile as a backsplash and I love the idea of painting the ceiling turquoise instead of the walls. Finding a cool piece of furniture to paint turquoise or maybe yellow would be really fun! I really want some funky black and white wallpaper somewhere in the room. Of course I love the yellow wallpaper by Jonathan Adler! I have been bitten by the decorating bug! I feel like I haven't designed something for myself in so long. The thought of owning my own place again and being able to PAINT THE WALLS is so exciting!!!! I really love the open look of this kitchen...

Since I am 4'9" and can't reach anything in top cabinets anyways, maybe less of them would be better for me. If I don't use them anyways why have them? Not putting tons of top cabinets makes the room feel so much bigger. Oh, it's so fun to dream about decorating!
