The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

Counter Tops
The counter tops are in!
I have to admit, when I walked in the room and saw them, it wasn't love at first sight. I struggled with picking out which laminate to use, and never felt 100% about my final choice.
~
Some of my criteria for the counter tops included that they could not at all resemble a kitchen or bathroom, and they had to be a light color. Anyone who has done sewing or other crafts knows how much dust is generated, and the last thing I wanted was to always look at a dusty counter top.
The laminate I finally chose was Wilsonart HD Luna Frost. The pictures don't show it, but the counter tops have a shine to them and just a slight amount of texture. They're just a *little bit girly* and very clean looking.
tomorrow brings carpet, closet shelving and then final clean up.

Come Saturday, you know where you can find me....MOVING IN!

Snow Day Randomness
Just like many of you, we are barely peeking out from behind the snow drifts! Here's some randomness for your snow day.
~
1. Here's the view out our back slider. We've already shoveled waist-deep snow once this morning and I'm thinking I'll have to get out there again soon.
2. I just watched a snow plow truck have to be shoveled out of the driveway across the street. This is nuts!
3. Are you still praying for Joanne? How about Kate? Both need our prayers.
4. One week from now Cora Anne will have a beautiful new look courtesy of Heather from Blessed Little Nest. (Please please please let February 8 get here quickly!)
And in the meantime, you can check out her portfolio to see the cuteness.
5. Two weeks from today Claire and I are off to Florida. We plan to be total beach bums the entire time and we can't wait.
6. In celebration of (?) honor of (?) Snowmaggedon 2011,
Cora Anne is having a sale.
Use the code SNOW15 for 15% off your purchase!
Since we're all couped up inside, we might as well participate in some online retail therapy, right??

Stay warm everyone!

Thinking Spring
I'm cracking up that in the midst of one huge snow storm, my gift tags were including in a treasury titled "Thinking Spring"
Thanks to One Haute Hostess for including me!

Living Room Upgrade
When we built our house three years ago, I was very happy with how it turned out. There's really not much at all that I would change about it.
The one glaring exception for me though was this large blank wall in our living room, it has always looked like it needed something to give it a little life.
it normally houses our library table

so as projects usually go, one thing leads to another. I think the conversation went something like, "hey builder, while you're building me a craft room downstairs, could you also add some paneling to my wall upstairs?"
~
That's logical, right??
~
So while we were out of town last weekend, here's what he did!
and he's so good, he even sent me a text with a picture so I wouldn't have to wait all weekend to see it!
on the same day that the painters worked on my craft room, they also made our living room like like a scene from ET
Claire thought it was awesome and sprinted the corridor about a million times that day
I took a peek inside the plastic in-between coats to see this
