Kitchen Lights Before & After

Hubby and I bought our first house back in December for our new little bambino! Well I'm finally getting around to posting some of the projects we've already had done here (and there will be loads more to come!)

We wanted to re-do the kitchen lights since they were those uuuugly and I mean UGLY fluorescent lights! This is the only picture I have of the before...this was when we were still in escrow...look up lol



yuck-mo

we pulled them out of there and noticed we had a beautiful recessed ceiling under them! We had our contractor cut some holes and rewire some recessed lighting in there and had him paint the inner wall the same gray color we were painting our entire downstairs! We also added some decorative moulding around the outside edge and around the inside edge and woooah mama, talk about an upgrade!



Closeup of the detail:




love love love love LOOOVE!

Anniversary gift

What kind of girl gets excited about getting a hand saw, a miter box and a home depot gift card for her anniversary...*points to self* this girl...ohh yeah!! decorative moulding aisle here I come! I'm a rare breed!

I am obsessed with white spray paint

It makes everything look better! I got this giant frame from Ikea a couple years ago. It was black and had stuff inside it. Well I took it apart, spray painted it in my favorite shade of white and hung just the frame in my son's nursery with his first initial in it. Simple and awesome!

LUUUURVE!

LPDH's Ornament Party!

Hi Bloggies!! I've been away for a while and alot has happened! The Mr and I are having our first baby due in February and we bought our very first house whcich means tons of new projects for this new mama!!

Since we just moved in (literally last week) I was feeling a little scrooge-ish because I had NO Christmas decorations up. (you know how sad that is being a crafty girl) Well, I forced the hubbs to get out all of our decor and tree from the garage so that I could have at least a little time feeling like it was an actual holiday.

We finally got our tree up yesterday....yes YESTERDAY...5 days before Christmas! Yikes! I love going through our ornaments since I'm a big ornament collector (so much so that I can't even fit most of them on our tree *blush*) and I thought it would be a fan-tabulous idea to throw an ornament party on Little Pink Dollhouse! I'll post a Linky at the end of this post, and I want to see ALL of your favorite ornaments!

And now, on with my faves (and I want to hear lots of "oohing and ahhing"!) ;)

Something sweet:


Beautiful peacocks (I have 2 towards the top of the tree)


I WANT A HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS... You all know the song! Well last year I sang that dang song so much I actually got one...in ornament form from my lovely mother. EEP!! Isn't it the CUUUUUTESSST!?!?


This is one of my favorites:

because it reminds me of one of my real life favorites (which I know you have seen in posts past)


Reindeer rockinghorse :)


Oh little town of Bethlehem...


Okay I will spare you with the rest, because honestly I have TONS and I don't want to scare off any readers... especially new ones that don't know my personality....... and may think I'm crazy................ please like me...
