I am rusty in my frisbee throwing skills, but thankfully Axel was only a little better than me. To console myself, I made a traditional headress for frisbee women.
After 9 holes we went to the park. Lucy is a great walker now and can take advantage of all the thrilling playground jumpy bridges.
She likes to hang out at the bottom of the slide.
Look at those eyebrows. Those are Reynolds eyebrows! I wouldn'tve believed a girl could look feminine with those eyebrows. Oh the tweezing may come earlier for her than for the others.
And my latest and greatest beautification project:BEFORE
AFTER
Oh, the priming and the measuring. I had an epiphany while making these shelves: I never feel sexier than when I'm using my table saw. However, I don't look that sexy with the red ring on my face that the goggles leave behind.
For the first time I'm displaying my beloved matrioshka dolls from Ukraine, and a cool photo of Paul on his mission, plus Tagolog BOM. Most of our paperbacks we've read and don't look through often, so I decided to do what I've seen in Pottery Barn and put them in with pages out instead of spine out. And if you could only smell the heavenly hazelnut oil diffusing in the air.
And because beautifying the house is really enjoyed by me and Paul could pretty much care less, I thought I'd add something to make him happy about the shelves too.
Bottomless licorice.
And I painted my living room.

When can you come and help me? Love the bookcases and the paint color. Any your renting! I never touched a paint brush in any of our apartments. You rock!
Looks wonderful as always :) Love the color choice. If your darling hubby decides to quite eating licorice you can send it my way :)
WOW. I am so impressed! And I must agree, a table-saw-wielding-woman is a sexy woman. I wish I had one. And that I knew how to use it. :)
Oh, how I wish Dusty didn't care what I painted or decorated with around the house. Every decision is a huge fiasco trying to please both of us! It looks wonderful! And, I'm a table saw lover as well. I'm still terrified every time I use one though.
i love love love your shelves. they're beautiful. i also love how you made the before shot as hideous and dirty as possible.
Looks great! I like the colors too but they are sure different than last time? Is that because you are renting and have to be a bit milder?
