March Snow Day

This weeks project...

Alex left last weekend for a two week work assignment. So I decided to find projects around the house to fill my extra time. This weeks project was to paint our Master Bedroom. I still have to hang some art above the bed, but overall I think it looks really good! Check back soon for next weeks project :)

Another Heavy Snow Fall

The last snow photos I posted were taken by Alex. I missed seeing everything covered in white since I was at work and everything was melted by the time I got home in the evening. But today, snow has been falling since last night and I was able to enjoy every minute of it! I took photos and videos to share it with you! It's like a winter wonderland :)

Yet another condo update...

We had our first heavy snow last week. The snow only stayed for the day, but it was gorgeous while it lasted! Here are two photos of our back yard and the Creek covered in snow. The creek is almost fully frozen now!



Now, here are the condo updates! We've added lighter throw pillows and hung various photos that remind us of our home in Florida. I think these little changes completely change how the room feels, it feels more home-y!



Here's an update of our Master bedding. We added throws, end tables, and table lamps. It's coming along nicely! I found these are clearance yesterday at JCP. I think they'll look amazing above the bed.


And... I really want to paint the Master BR. I think it will make it feel more pulled together. I found this inspiration card at Lowes and (pending landlord approval) we'll be painting a blue accent wall behind the bed with the other walls painted a pretty neutral tan. I'll post pictures when it's done! And... Last but not least... one of my favorite additions to the condo is our gorgeous bar that was given to me by my sister as a birthday present. It came a little early, but I couldn't resist setting up that night! Please forgive the couches in the side of the photo, we're still trying to get rid of them.

P.S. Thank you, Kris! I LOVVVEEEE the bar!!!!

Decorating

We've been in our condo for about four months now and over the months have slowly been adding little homely touches. Our newest and most exciting addition are our beautiful couches! These were Alex and my Christmas gift to each other and we have fallen in love with them. They fit and match beautifully in our living room, and Alex loves that he can actually lay down on the sofa without his legs hanging over the end. I have to admit, there are few things as special as building a home with the person you love! Here are some photos of the updates along with our first Christmas tree and decorations. Enjoy!

We put shelves above the TV.

Changing of the seasons

It's been quite awhile since I posted last. A lot has changed over the past months, most noticeable the weather here in Maryland. In Florida, we had summer and "cold snaps", but here in Baltimore we were able to enjoy summer, fall and now winter. Here are some photos of our back yard during the transition. We've had a couple days with snow flurries but no heavy snow falls yet. We'll keep you posted!

Local Hangout feels like Florida!

Alex, and our neighbor/buddy Patty, introduced me to the local hangout last night and I'm thinking that I love it! There's a bar, large screen tv's, and pool tables. But I think the best part is the sand and palm trees overlooking Marley Creek. I think we may have found a bit of home!
