Smiling Indy
Friday, July 25, 2008



We caught him smiling. He likes to sleep on his back. We call it his "bum" position...taking after his owner, Ian.

Red Hot Bathroom




There's no stopping us now....when it comes to decorating, that is. After Isabella's purple and pink bedroom, we moved on to our hallway bathroom. From "victorian grandma" style (sorry no before photo) to grand and red hot design. Isabella and I had so much fun with this project...from choosing the color to the actual painting. I did the top portion while she tackled the bottom section. She said she feels like a "design star" (I think we watch too much HGTV:) Whenever I start to get anxious she reminds me to "breath". I think we inhaled paint fumes that we got silly at times...acting like design stars. Then we forgot to realize that we cannot paint behind the toilet...so comes Phil to the rescue...our toilet engineer/hero:) We finished it in 2 days in time for her dance rehearsals. Then we're off to our next project....back to Isabella's bedroom to paint the walls her fave purple color. The bathroom was our practice run. But I think we might tackle the fence first. We'll see...we just go with the "flow"...of how we feel at the time:) I'll keep you posted.

Isabella's new bedroom
Saturday, July 19, 2008


It's keeping us excitingly busy these past couple of days. Dancing to the theme of ballerina princess in purple and pink...her favourite colors. Finally a bedroom of her own (not that she sleeps there yet:) Since our move a year and a half ago, we didn't feel a need to decorate a room for her. She sleeps with mommy and daddy still and I like to keep it that way for as long as I can. But this summer she wants to invite some friends and we thought a girl's room is in order. We truly enjoyed shopping together and she is ecstatic at the outcome. She can't wait to have friends over.

I got this from my friend Tessie for almost next to nothing considering it's a one-of-a-kind Kreiss design. Thanks GFF... now my dining room looks grand!
