AROUND THE HOUSE

Happy TBT (#throwbackthursday)--aka my worst social media nightmare.  Ok I'm half guilty of doing this at one point in time (ONLY ONE), but I seriously pat myself on the back when I make it through a Thursday without shutting down all my accounts.  It's mostly the celebrities who drive me crazy but then again I just can't stop following them you know???

Ok back on topic.  We FINALLY found our old couch a new family yesterday, so our furb couch is officially making her debut on the blog today!  I think our puppies were sad to see her go since that was basically their bed. #lezbehonest.  Except for Finn of course who has her own castle bed right next to her momma.  Have I mentioned she is spoiled? Anyways, I took a break from the nursery to organize our living room situation and this is what I have to show for it so far.

Couch: Furbish Studio, Pillows: Miss Bluebonnet
Our new couch!! Gray velvety heaven.  And by new I mean we've had it for a year covered in plastic wrap.  Poor thing.

Rug: IKEA, Coffee Table: West Elm
We also added a new rug situation which I am loving much better than the chevron for this room.  I highly recommend jute/seagrass rugs especially for people with puppies!


Our mantle.  Which I take down and restyle every day because styling is a skill that I was just NOT blessed with.  Here's the latest set up with my favorite pics framed and my lil turquoise foo dogs I scooped up at a local antique shop.


The awkward corner of the room.  I found this peacock chair at a thrift store for like ten dollars and had high hopes for her.  Kind of like this:


But for now she sits in her corner with a pretty pillow and my attempt at DIY art.

And last but not least, half of our hospital bag loot-- the diaper bag.  Not even sure if this is necessary? But I'm definitely going to over pack and I've embraced it at this point.  It's packed with pacifiers (because apparently Cash could be picky), side snap onesies, Mustela face wipes, dinosaur baby blanket, hand sanitizer, and of course his Longhorn WubbaNub.


Oh and go check out my friend Lauren's blog Turquoise & Gold for some major DIY inspiration!! She just did a campaign dresser IKEA hack that I immediately wanted to PIN all over Pinterest. And make two for myself.

Until next time xoxo,
ryann

    I am IN LOVE with your diaper bag. If I show my sister, I'm sure she will die over it. She's done her entire nursery in turquoise, blue, and gray!

SCONCES & SUCH

Image
Let's take a quick look at the bathroom shall we? Subway tile = good, real gooooood. And we made a startling discovery when we ripped up the bathroom floor..... Awesome white vintage tile....seriously- why would you ever cover that up?! Unfortunately we couldn't salvage it since the previous owner had damaged a lot of them or we def would have! That's all the pics I have for you today since everything else is taped off in preparation for wallpaper install. SO let's begin with some random thoughts. I want  this sweater: I shall be adding this to the new shop : minty fresh In exactly two short months, we'll be here: Sconces were decided on for said bath thanks to Amber's blog : Hmmm, I think that's about it. Oh yeah and diets still suck. Have a lovely Monday. xoxo ryann

WORRIED MAMA

I have a confession:  I had my first pregancy freak out. Ok that was a lie. This is my second or third. But this time was a little different.  EVERYTHING is perfectly fine thank goodness. But over the past few days I think I had my first ''am I ready'' breakdown.  It all started yesterday afternoon with Finn.  She came into the house from outside with blood all over her paw. I started cleaning it but then it would gush all over again-- cue freak out.  Instinct kicked in and I immediately put the other two dogs away and started getting Finn ready to go to the vet.  Picture a pregnant woman trying to control a 92 pound dog on a leash by herself.  This might seem easy to some people but Brett ALWAYS takes care of this part.  We go to the vet together but he holds her, gets her in the car, gets her out, keeps her from other dogs at the vet, etc etc.  This part scares me.  But I had to manage so off we went.  I finally got her int...
