Finishing Touches

Sometimes when I go shopping and buy home decor that's kind of funky, I think to myself, "I'm pretty sure Spencer's gonna hate this." I'd been looking for a sunburst mirror for quite a while, so I was super excited when I got this huge white one in the Marine Gift Shop before someone else snatched it up. And I was right, Spencer thought it was weird. But he's a good sport and pretty much lets me do whatever I want when it comes to decorating.

Doesn't it look fun? 

 I still need to adjust the pictures on either side of it so they aren't overlapping, but seeing it on my wall makes be happy.

The other thing I'd been eyeing for a while was a rug for under our dining table. I got this cute indoor/outdoor striped rug- although it's really too small for the space. But if you know me well, you know I love love love stripes. And how could I resist a rug that's that cute and easy to clean? And someday when we update our dining set, we can use it somewhere else, like outside on our future deck.

We're in full force holiday decor around here, as you can see. I stole a cute Halloween silhouettes idea from Pinterest, and used a free stencil online to paint a witch and broom on burlap. I think they turned out really cute! I love free home decor :)

This clock is also a newer (like 4 months ago) addition to our room. The picture online made it look grey and white, but when it arrived it was really brown. I was bummed but couldn't return it since the shipping was pretty much the same price as the actual clock. Oh well, we still like it and it does the job.

While I was snapping pics, the kids were keeping themselves busy too:

This scene stealer thought I needed to take pictures of her playing beautiful tunes on the harmonica.

My Squish uses everything at his level that slides as a walker. My antique Chinese water bucket is one of his favorite things to push around the house. No me gusta.
