Solution for a Gloomy Day
It's been gloomy all week in No. California, my solution for gloomy days are fresh flowers. On the way home last night I stopped in Trader Joes. They have some of the best selections for fresh flowers at low prices. I picked up some long stem snapdragons for the dining room for only $4.99. The fresh flowers worked like a charm.

Branch Out
I'm always on the look out for pretty candle holders that are unique. A couple of days ago while I was browsing Target's Decor aisle I came across a pretty candle holder on Clearance! Yipee I LOVE Clearance. It’s a really pretty branch style and is a golden silver color. I'm in love with how it looks on our dining room table (I also put on our coffee table and love it there too). Did you notice the dining room table looks different? We're getting closer and closer to our Dining Room Re-Do.
Happy Anniversary Little House
A year ago we closed on our first house December 30, 2008 to be exact! It took us 6 months and a few failed offers before we finally got a yes from a seller {The Bank}. Over the last year we've slowly been transforming our house into a home. I know its sounds a bit cliché, but it takes time to make your home reflect your personality.
Our Home Now
Thanks little home, we love you. The past year was spent: pulling weeds, painting our house, laying sod, creating a new flower bed, paying funky bills sewer & garage (new for us), laughing, crying over a never ending to do list, Starbucks on the front porch, our Wedding Reception in our backyard (pics to come), our son playing in his tree house, too many trips to Lowes and Home Depot, getting a family pet Mojo the Chihuahau, Redoing our Entryway, starting the dining room re-do AND so much more. Wow was that the longest run-on sentence ever?!? Little house I enjoyed every minute of it, and it feels good to slowly turn you into a Chic Little House - that I know you are!
