Houston home


We have now been living in Houston for 6 months...crazy! Its been a great adventure so far and we are excited to see what more our King has in store for us in this crazy bustling city we now call home.

During these last 6 months I have been unemployed. I complained a lot at first, but then this whole staying at home cooking, cleaning, decorating, painting and being uber craftsy really grew on me and now I'm beyond words grateful for this time I've had to process and explore new things. With all this creative time and energy our house became my canvas. I found myself changing something everyday or coming up with new ideas to avoid having to go out and buy something that is not what I really wanted. So here are some pics of our casa.

I made this rug from 2 coffee bean sacks :)


ART ROOM!!!





Simeon's office/ guest room
Tree I painted for Simeon
I refurbished the night stand...it took forever,
but I think it is pretty darn cute now

not a great photo...
Simeon's awesome desk. We found this super cool door on one
of our curbside scavenges :)
These mason jars were my grandparent's that we re-purposed for our bathroom

Simeon's Aunt and uncle gave us this beautiful cargo
hutch along with 2 sofas and a bed! We are so thankful!
