I have been hard at work on a secret project for the past couple of weeks. I decided after Georgia went back to school after Christmas break to do a little painting project in the <a href="https://itsahorvathslife.blogspot.com/2018/09/a-playroom-for-georgia.html">playroom</a>/craft room. As you may recall, we moved my sewing machine and cutting table to the playroom last January (2022). It's now a hybrid craft room/playroom! Since then it has been a little crowded, a little messy and I realized, a little dark for my creative needs. I wanted to repaint the chalkboard and the formerly gray walls to something lighter and brighter. Here's what it looked like:<div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAA2B_JNHF2LmqI_fqKLT3eutttESW83TTDvzRmn8yQIEUd2k2dBlbIN92Sz0yFLwNZRoaIMCpfHcqdILXO2z_Uq7sFMC8IpzQ2jsG6wY5UFwepzS_DNxsw1hazxJ5YleVuOrK9H2iPDY5mUGsDk_6l07A_h9NbPtp8JSUvMme5wRb25NaCWyJ6UW4DQ/s3840/PXL_20220103_174735455.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3840" data-original-width="2160" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAA2B_JNHF2LmqI_fqKLT3eutttESW83TTDvzRmn8yQIEUd2k2dBlbIN92Sz0yFLwNZRoaIMCpfHcqdILXO2z_Uq7sFMC8IpzQ2jsG6wY5UFwepzS_DNxsw1hazxJ5YleVuOrK9H2iPDY5mUGsDk_6l07A_h9NbPtp8JSUvMme5wRb25NaCWyJ6UW4DQ/w360-h640/PXL_20220103_174735455.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWEkrVcNWFvs-IuNWRuYu188nQ51KQeXPiDu0GTzBJWbV87CTDlwS6nTk_pwfOA7BV7rS92WqUJV6_RUL5iPcJcZDecrDtqvrUcKnis7OoE-XsHr3IKaVHuHGFmI-30KmzCUYI9BgB8Svub8icZSSPsrTX5u8oqVqn07vGXP-p4ZNd1WGOuFh4Zumeiw/s3840/PXL_20220103_174745981.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2160" data-original-width="3840" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWEkrVcNWFvs-IuNWRuYu188nQ51KQeXPiDu0GTzBJWbV87CTDlwS6nTk_pwfOA7BV7rS92WqUJV6_RUL5iPcJcZDecrDtqvrUcKnis7OoE-XsHr3IKaVHuHGFmI-30KmzCUYI9BgB8Svub8icZSSPsrTX5u8oqVqn07vGXP-p4ZNd1WGOuFh4Zumeiw/w640-h360/PXL_20220103_174745981.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>We all loved the chalkboard but it was time for a change! So after a little ruminating, I decided to paint the walls off-white and do a decorative design of birds and clouds like this wallpaper that I have long admired. It's called <a href="https://www.hyggeandwest.com/products/daydream?variant=39256635605130" target="_blank">Daydream</a> by Hygge & West. So lovely. So pricey. ;) Fortunately, I have lots of free time so I figured I could paint something similar without the hassle of installing wallpaper.</div><div><br /></div><div>I began by priming the chalkboard wall and painting. I used "Dove White" by Valspar. Georgia helped me, she's a very neat roller and we're working on her cutting in skills.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj--aVwU-2WUu0I8EeLjrW2dSdEtzjxPuC03NIYS-XtofnRBuUDxCdeTvlXZ6sHANc-rbJTfyR5B_Pnj1_6T7xDu65uG5r_NRu6wSFepkVByKN6LVOlf5JKFqTKw9KzGakQjWA-cC4ydBOGsZJiyyUkWXJJ9odxzP8eDDBpKbdTNAOnpHEdst07bs9QaA/s4032/PXL_20230114_135105719.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj--aVwU-2WUu0I8EeLjrW2dSdEtzjxPuC03NIYS-XtofnRBuUDxCdeTvlXZ6sHANc-rbJTfyR5B_Pnj1_6T7xDu65uG5r_NRu6wSFepkVByKN6LVOlf5JKFqTKw9KzGakQjWA-cC4ydBOGsZJiyyUkWXJJ9odxzP8eDDBpKbdTNAOnpHEdst07bs9QaA/w360-h640/PXL_20230114_135105719.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPrOBcSlIy3W2gYMrXJr-_DwbHYmid_XAV8infkSCV7sINX-Zysu-dEI8dXbSd6WMRn3hSRHqcHxxQ-mNWgbjMpR7gpUc7VsA1Dbj_fsYztLUzgTaB8u_KXXiyXcozI0FvxlMrI0AaDPl0PynPQp7IP5R-eJAJ1k1wRPuKevUzSkjo6nDTXNQsMJ2Mw/s4032/PXL_20230114_144916630.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPrOBcSlIy3W2gYMrXJr-_DwbHYmid_XAV8infkSCV7sINX-Zysu-dEI8dXbSd6WMRn3hSRHqcHxxQ-mNWgbjMpR7gpUc7VsA1Dbj_fsYztLUzgTaB8u_KXXiyXcozI0FvxlMrI0AaDPl0PynPQp7IP5R-eJAJ1k1wRPuKevUzSkjo6nDTXNQsMJ2Mw/w360-h640/PXL_20230114_144916630.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvq_tFofCgsCZbkF7RsNZWfDS-XmQOMn5tD7Vg8o9WLJnSmWxl9bG5eyXIPZmA8KfxRiGaUlt7nwHpcmNNG0ubGLYrpGwkWipJ0-WSxF1M4hdC1l4vbEkZJ8iE2rVrPfYxtRkNUmSJWXP84pGbarywvc2ijdVB28FFI0EBA9beGkH8REOB3UEtNkw4Wg/s4032/PXL_20230115_180417311.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvq_tFofCgsCZbkF7RsNZWfDS-XmQOMn5tD7Vg8o9WLJnSmWxl9bG5eyXIPZmA8KfxRiGaUlt7nwHpcmNNG0ubGLYrpGwkWipJ0-WSxF1M4hdC1l4vbEkZJ8iE2rVrPfYxtRkNUmSJWXP84pGbarywvc2ijdVB28FFI0EBA9beGkH8REOB3UEtNkw4Wg/w360-h640/PXL_20230115_180417311.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div>It took three coats to cover that gray. I should have primed the whole room to start! After the walls were ready, I was extremely eager to start the birds and clouds design. I decided to paint the design on only two walls because I knew it was going to be quite the endeavor. I enlarged and printed out a sample and made a stencil to transfer the design to the wall. I used a colored pencil for the markings. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtaYU7Cb7HfURVSIWgLHuaxC7d5bUEhDw23IlDrHdfx1mJjkouQEjEYJIYiB0AfnxWHkU4ayAWwFFnn1pR_tKTW5x7UAvEjzg4QW3WtJYpk7T066z849J3BdQuzdG-AK5KebEUpou92sKytIx5Mxy1vU8eAgIB8TczE2ITz6yCylZHaUmKQbdNwJyWJw/s4032/PXL_20230116_162452858.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtaYU7Cb7HfURVSIWgLHuaxC7d5bUEhDw23IlDrHdfx1mJjkouQEjEYJIYiB0AfnxWHkU4ayAWwFFnn1pR_tKTW5x7UAvEjzg4QW3WtJYpk7T066z849J3BdQuzdG-AK5KebEUpou92sKytIx5Mxy1vU8eAgIB8TczE2ITz6yCylZHaUmKQbdNwJyWJw/w360-h640/PXL_20230116_162452858.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Of course, I was most excited to paint the birds.

Probably because everything Christmas gets put away and I'm left with a blank slate. I've been considering updating our master bedroom for the last little bit. I debated repainting in a darker blue shade, but I just couldn't decide. Typically paint should be the last thing you update because it needs to coordinate with your bedding and art, etc. Well I've updated the art, but not the bedding. We have a lovely west elm comforter in slate blue for winter and an ivory pottery barn quilt for summer. My dog Riley sleeps on our bed all day, and she sheds. A lot! So, I keep the pretty comforter covered with an assortment of old sheets. Not very appealing. My collection of old sheets just keeps getting older and shabbier, thanks to the many washings and Riley-abuse. I've been on the hunt for a more attractive flat sheet to use instead of white, like a printed sheet of some kind. Unfortunately it's hard to buy just a flat sheet, much less with a large print. I finally hit on an idea! Why not take apart a reversible duvet cover into two flat pieces and use those? After a search on Amazon, I came across this <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G4RM6BS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">blue floral duvet cover</a> (they also sell matching sheets) which reverses to the same print on the opposite side. Perfect!</p><p>Amazon shipped it to me in one day (Thanks Amazon!) and after washing it, I set to work taking it apart. I just cut the seams off the edges and removed the zipper at the bottom. I bought a king size so I would be sure to have enough fabric after taking it apart. Then I simply hemmed all the edges on the sewing machine and pressed it out. It came with matching shams which I resized (they were king) and put on the bed to match. Then I added some throw pillows that had been languishing in the closet. I am loving the new look. And now when the top sheet gets dirty or too fuzzy, I can throw it in the washer and put the second sheet on the bed. :) Georgia has never seen my bed made up with fancy pillows, since I kind of gave up on all that years ago. She thought this was great and immediately jumped into the pile of pillows. :) Riley also thinks it's swell. And of course, now that I have acquired new "bedding" I can turn my attention to paint colors! :)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXHCnGVIgP8Bs1x6SaWk0UNIQDNCgHWbo8XnFEpOG5jnHVm9NTIu3NB9L1klPIh8VvUdUDzgl2MT_TEigipG00SAV_s5DhkKjItiduEoGmLb3feEpixykBk-7Dy7V16B0H_Xk7CVstvmW0/s4032/PXL_20210201_150120208.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXHCnGVIgP8Bs1x6SaWk0UNIQDNCgHWbo8XnFEpOG5jnHVm9NTIu3NB9L1klPIh8VvUdUDzgl2MT_TEigipG00SAV_s5DhkKjItiduEoGmLb3feEpixykBk-7Dy7V16B0H_Xk7CVstvmW0/w640-h480/PXL_20210201_150120208.MP.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpCQXQiK3Ls8N-bayNixxmMqFZHyrEeZU9DIKdPkHLGxzDeCVw-qifZrvS6rwlFrK_MEVfk4dUyDTNXcGHzxU1DfPDSocLT4CXadNRDMku4vJX2PB3VPnviU4HvlaHJk7CiPyAsI_bgiFe/s3437/PXL_20210201_150110444.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2222" data-original-width="3437" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpCQXQiK3Ls8N-bayNixxmMqFZHyrEeZU9DIKdPkHLGxzDeCVw-qifZrvS6rwlFrK_MEVfk4dUyDTNXcGHzxU1DfPDSocLT4CXadNRDMku4vJX2PB3VPnviU4HvlaHJk7CiPyAsI_bgiFe/w640-h414/PXL_20210201_150110444.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Happy February!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCfiHlVq7XwCWxvEayBQheVzsaNejxmx6Lybc0UbOdilDqcdurSc4Xx5MUKzXDtpxT7WQUokrAO3A9kJKPvpc7FpKUTCqg6IAprdu0FXDFhrNQB13SeH7aZ5DFaFHSCkTycFLCD0XvCHqn/s200/signature+pink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="90" data-original-width="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCfiHlVq7XwCWxvEayBQheVzsaNejxmx6Lybc0UbOdilDqcdurSc4Xx5MUKzXDtpxT7WQUokrAO3A9kJKPvpc7FpKUTCqg6IAprdu0FXDFhrNQB13SeH7aZ5DFaFHSCkTycFLCD0XvCHqn/s0/signature+pink.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317790387014718065.post-91059847169898662902020-12-05T14:15:00.001-05:002020-12-05T15:51:35.430-05:00Christmas is here again!<p> Greetings friends and followers!

I've even managed to only forget to water it one day so far! I decorated with my usual red, gold and navy scheme.

Greetings friends!! It's almost Christmas and we are ready for some festivities here at the Horvath house. We're hosting Christmas dinner for Michael's family this year so of course I have decked the halls, as usual, with everything red, gold and plaid! I also added a touch of navy blue this year to tie into the plaid ribbon and blankets that I love! Hope you enjoy a look around our Christmas house.</div>

The tree is trimmed with red ribbon and red and gold and blue balls. Georgia's tiny rocking horse is nestled at the bottom. She found him at a thrift store and had to bring it home! :)</div>

My sister had a length of pine garland leftover from her porch, so I took it and made a swag on the dining room doorway. I love it so much. I twisted through some plaid ribbon and pinecone garland. And I'm adding my Christmas cards with tiny clothespins.</div>

My mom gave us a few pieces to make a Christmas village this year since I knew Georgia would enjoy it. Sure enough, she found some horses to live in the town. :) It's my favorite tradition from my childhood. I still put out my mom's collection for her at her house every year.</div>

My dad made me another sign, so I painted it with this adorable gingerbread theme! Then I had to create a gingerbread display below on the flatware cabinet. :) Georgia helped me decorate the gingerbread house. It's missing a few gumdrops and most of its icicles because a little mousey keeps snatching them and eating them!!</div>

I've been away for far too long from the blog, and some readers have started to complain/whine (:cough: Papa :cough:) so I thought I'd better pop on here and give you a much-anticipated update from Georgia's room.<br />
<br />
The little girl turned three in June and she's basically grown now, she's so big she hardly fits on my lap anymore (she does still squeeze into my bed some nights)! Anyway, it was high time for her to have a big girl bed since she was quickly outgrowing the crib turned toddler bed.<br />
<br />
I spent a lot of time deciding what kind of bed to build for her room, but finally Michael and I settled on a platform farmhouse-style bed with storage drawers. The plans are from <a href="http://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/farmhouse-storage-bed-drawers-twin-and-full">Ana White</a>. We tweaked it a bit and made the drawers and headboard shorter. I am so happy with how it turned out.<br />

Papa did a fantastic job building it despite my efforts to redesign it every week and my micromanaging his construction process. :) My specialty! Anyway, between the two of us we did succeed in building it just the way I wanted! And Mama frantically painted it so we could assemble it in time for Georgia's birthday party. Thanks everyone! </div>

There are three drawers on the opposite side of the bed, too, but we can't use them since it's pushed against the wall. Maybe eventually she'll want her bed pulled away from the wall, we'll see. The front drawers are full of extra blankets and grow-into clothes. Finally, more storage for this tiny room!! :)<br />

The bedding is from <a href="https://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/molly-rainbow-quilt-girl/">Pottery Barn</a>. Georgia was infatuated with rainbow striped things for about a minute, so I picked this charming quilt with the most adorable embroidery. She has since moved on to being obsessed with horses and the color red, but oh well! I added a few horse items to the room just recently to replace some of her baby-themed artwork. I love the little touches that reflect her personality.<br />
<br />
We exchanged her cherry dress for the turquoise dresser from the den when we <a href="https://itsahorvathslife.blogspot.com/2017/09/redecorating-den.html">replaced the furniture</a> in there. (We did get the loveseat finished to match the couch down there but, of course, I never updated the blog with those pictures! :-P It's a proper hang-out space now with a TV and everything!) Anyway, I digress... we put the turquoise dresser in her room which has a lot more drawers and space for display. It's working great for her room, and it fits perfectly on the closet wall.<br />

The horse artwork is from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/zuhalkanar?ref=l2-about-shopname&section_id=22275381">etsy</a> and I made the little wreath from an embroidery hoop. :) Georgia and I love to visit the horse aisle at Hobby Lobby, but so far I have restrained myself from buying any more horse wall decor! </div>

When we removed the crib, I decided it was time to switch out the big plush nursery glider for a smaller, more youthful chair option. My mom had a sweet little tufted chair that needed to be reupholstered. (It was actually my college dorm chair from freshman year that was formerly purple, pink and blue batik!) We selected a duo of unicorn printed fabric to recover the chair. I looked for a horse print but this one was too sweet and the colors were perfect for her room! The border print is Michael Miller Unicorn Parade in mint and the allover print is called Unicorn Forest. We used the border around the sides and bottom and the print for the rest of the chair. I think it turned out so cute!! Since it's only cotton quilt fabric, we're not expecting it to last forever, but neither will her love of unicorns (ahem, horses) so we can update the chair with the rest of the room and not worry about wasting some expensive upholstery fabric!</div>

The little kitty wagon is something my dad built for her second birthday. I saw a similar one online for storing books and I had to have it!! Isn't it the cutest thing ever? We have since built and painted an orange cat one for my niece and a brown bear one for my nephew! </div>

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to come again soon and update you on the playroom and den office and all kind of seasonal decor. But we'll just be cautiously optimistic and say we'll see you at Christmas. I have yet to miss a Christmas on the blog! ;)</div>

It's good to be back here on the blog. I think of you often, and I miss hanging out here, but of course there isn't time for all the wonderful things I want to do. Hopefully I'll be around some more in the New Year, but for now, here is a little tour of my Christmas decor. :) Enjoy!<br />

It's time for my quarterly blog post. Hahahaha! I have not totally given up blogging, I just can't seem to find time for it lately! :) I promised you back in May that I would update you on the new playroom for Georgia. Here I am to keep my promise.<br />
<br />
Michael and I decided earlier this year to move our office to the den so that we would have a space farther from Georgia's bedroom where we could hang out after she went to bed. It was so hard creeping around upstairs in the office when she was sleeping right next door! Michael also wanted a bigger area for his VR gaming setup. So after much discussion, we finally decided to move the office to the interior wall of the den. We had to rearrange a little bit and I lost half of my sewing room, but gained a "roommate" downstairs! We have been loving the new arrangement. It's great to have us both in one space for his gaming and my projects. Plus, we have the den side with the couches and TV so we can watch Netflix at night without worrying about how loud the volume is! We call it "our studio apartment" like it's our adult hang out space.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, we converted the old office into a playroom for Georgia. Hopefully in the not-to-distant future we can get rid of some of the toys and make the room into a guest room/reading room with the addition of a daybed. But for now, it's host to Georgia's wonderland of toys. Here's a look at the new space.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The back wall of the room features a chalkboard wall that I painted. Everyone has such fun drawing when they come to visit. Georgia enjoys the freedom to scribble and draw big circles (with supervision). Michael and I doodle occasionally, too!</div>

Under the window is Georgia's little kitchen. You may <a href="http://itsahorvathslife.blogspot.com/2012/02/diy-shelf-to-play-kitchen.html">recognize it</a> from way back when Papa and I designed it for my niece, Abby. Six years later, it's still a big hit! The addition of a kid-size table and chairs from Pottery Barn Kids (the pink one was on clearance right after Christmas and I got a great deal!!) allows Georgia and friends to sample their culinary creations. It also serves as baby doll doctor's office and art center, periodically. :)<br />

And hark! The return of the <a href="http://itsahorvathslife.blogspot.com/2013/06/ode-to-denim-chair.html">denim chair</a>! We needed an adult-sized place to sit in here and since the <a href="http://itsahorvathslife.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-new-antique-chair.html">gray velvet chair</a> had gone to live with my mom already, I asked for the denim chair back! It's perfect for the playroom. And the little cloud pillow came from Hobby Lobby.<br />

On the short wall is Georgia's dollhouse. This was built by my mom for me and my sister when we were kids. It has been well-loved and has held up astonishingly well. I just hope it survives the abuse of a toddler! Georgia and I have had lots of fun playing with my old Barbie dolls. I've been working on redecorating the dollhouse for this decade with spray paint, new furniture and accessories. I can't wait to share all the updates with you once I'm finished. (You know-- next quarter!)<br />

Hi readers! I know it's been a looooong time since you heard from me on the blog. I've been busy working behind the scenes on lots of things I just haven't had time to share. Toddler mom problems. :) You understand. </div>

So, to kick off my long-awaited return, I am featuring a laundry room refresh today! After Christmas I decided I had just had enough of the acoustic tile drop ceiling in our laundry room. I couldn't take it anymore, so I asked my dad if we could replace it with something nicer. He promptly arrived with tool belt and began taking down the old tiles and framing system. </div>

You're welcome for that visual. Go now and rip out your acoustic tiles. I'll wait. :)<br />
<br />
After the ceiling was out we were left with decisions. Ultimately we decided we had to put another dropped ceiling in here since there is tons of plumbing and what not running under the ceiling joists as well as a huge air duct at the front. So, Papa and I (mostly Papa) devised a plan to hang a support system of 2x4s from the ceiling joists to attach a pine beadboard ceiling to. We used a thin beadboard that is intended to go on a wall or existing drywall ceiling, but we managed to make it work with nothing but supports behind it every couple of feet. Here's what it looked like:<br />

We left the exisiting "crown molding" at the edge of the wall to support the end of each piece and to cover up the seam where it meets the wall. Papa did all the hard parts, but he made me stand in the corner on top of the washing machine and cram myself into a tiny little hole in the ceiling to fasten the pieces to the molding from above at the end of the room. <br />

When we finally wrapped up with the ceiling installation, I was so happy with the look that I decided not to paint the beadboard white or stain it or anything. Originally I figured I would want it to be white, but honestly I don't have time to paint it right now anyway! We considered painting it in advance before installing it, but once again I didn't have the time (or babysitters?) so we just went ahead and put it up unfinished. Maybe in a couple years if it starts looking weird from moisture issues or stains or something I will get around to painting it. I kind of love the light wood look! It's like nothing else in our house, but it complements the neutral decor. <br />
<br />
Speaking of decor, of course after I installed a new ceiling, I had to repaint the room. And the cabinets. Haha! I ended up going with a pale cream/yellow color (ironic since it was yellow before) on the walls and a gray cabinet paint.<br />

So fresh! I really like the new paint color, it brightens up the room. Michael was really sad to see the stripes go. It was one of his favorite projects of mine. But, after ten years the paint was worn out and needed updating anyway.</div>

I had this little white shelf in the kitchen for some years. I had kept it because it was too cute to get rid of and now I'm glad I did because I converted it into a towel rack to go on the wall! I just added a dowel on the inside to hang the towels across. Isn't it cute? The old towel rack was just a thin metal rod. So ugly. This is much nicer! The art I used to have in our master bath and the new towels are from Kohl's!<br />

The formerly black cabinet looks really updated and nice painted gray. I painted the mirror frame to match. It complements the rug we already had, too!<br />

Gosh, we also got a new faucet but for some reason I never took pictures after that. Papa installed it for me last month (and the corresponding new drain just last week!) Thanks Papa!<br />
<br />
And of course, the finishing touch, a new sign to replace my laundry letters. I was so proud of those letters spelling out LAUNDRY when I made them ten years ago. Gosh, what a sophisticated decor choice! Hahaha! Anyway, maybe this sign is just as sophisticatedless. I don't know. But I saw it on Pinterest, and thought it was cute and rustic so I had to copy it. :) Papa built it (seeing a theme here?) and I painted it. You know you want one, too!<br />

Naturally, since I took these photos way back in April, the laundry room has changed a bit. We are in the process of moving the office to the den, so there's been some reshuffling of the furniture. But this is the "after" picture that you're getting! I hope to come back soon and update you on the new office/den situation as well as the new "playroom" where the office used to be! :) Hooray blog!<br />

Today I wanted to drop in and share a project that's been in the making for a long time. My sister-in-law, Laura was married in November and when she started planning, she put me in charge of all things wedding decor! I was so honored to be a part of her special day. It was a dream job, not only because I love decorating and I love weddings but because it was for such a sweet couple, Laura and Brian. Now that the holidays are over and the photos are back, I have to share the details from this wonderful day! The wedding photographer was Tina Smith of <a href="https://foursparrowsphotography.com/">Four Sparrows Photography</a>. She was great to work with and was kind enough to allow me to feature her stunning photographs on my blog for all of you to enjoy! Most of these photos are hers except for a few that were taken by me and my husband.<br />
<br />
The wedding was held at <a href="http://www.gambillfarm.com/">Gambill Estate</a> on November 4, 2017. Gambill Estate is located in beautiful Roaring River, NC. The country estate features a large barn with rustic touches and modern amenities. From the crystal chandeliers to the wood paneled walls, and with the backdrop of the rolling hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the setting was perfect for Laura and Brian.<br />

To complement the season, Laura chose autumn leaves and flowers with elegant white pumpkins for the arrangements and burgundy and gold as accent colors. Her bridesmaids wore burgundy chiffon dresses with denim jackets and cowboy boots. Their bouquets were sunflowers, red roses, wheat stalks and burgundy calla lilies. The flower girls (all four of them!) wore burgundy lace dresses with matching headbands and carried sunflower balls. The flower girl ensembles were all designed and made by me. :) Georgia was the littlest flower girl and she had a fluffy petticoat under her dress and the cutest pair of boots! </div>

The bride wore an elegant off-white gown of satin and English net. The V-neck bodice was covered with trailing lace appliques that flowed into a full skirt with net godets. I added custom lace sleeves to the gown, as Laura had always dreamed of having a wedding gown with long sleeves. The bodice and sleeves were accented with sequins, beads and crystals for a hint of sparkle! The full train was complemented by a cathedral length veil of fine net trimmed with scalloped lace. The bride's bouquet was a striking contrast with dark red and cream roses, yellow sunflowers, and burgundy calla lilies.<br />

The groom and his groomsmen wore gray pants and vests with matching ties. Their boutonnieres, which we made, were a cotton stem, wheat stalks, and small burgundy flowers backed with a burlap leaf.<br />

The ceremony was originally planned to be outside at the top of the hill with a view of the gorgeous mountains beyond, but alas, Mother Nature had other ideas. The day was cool and rainy, so we opted to move indoors and hold the ceremony in the barn where the reception was planned.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Arriving guests were greeted on the porch with an autumnal display of pumpkins and potted mums. </span>I painted the sign for the McCarthys to display at the wedding and later in their new home. My dad built the rustic easel chalkboard and I hand-lettered it as a reminder to guests to be fully present during the ceremony. :) Beside on the welcome table, guests could leave cards and gifts and sign the guest book which was a cool family tree painting!</div>

As the ceremony began, the wedding party processed among the guests seated at their tables to the far end of the barn in front of two glass doors. A large, wooden cross marked the aisle and was decorated with fall flowers and greenery. Pumpkins and fall garlands were arranged beside the altar. The rain stopped just in time for the four o'clock ceremony so we opened the glass doors for a clear view of the beautiful mountains and fall color.<br />

Naturally, the littlest flower girl refused to process with the rest as instructed by me, the wedding director, and had to be carried down the aisle by her Daddy. ;) She was quite adorable but wouldn't be directed in the slightest!<br />
<br />
The bride's brother officiated the humorous and heartfelt ceremony, which included a unity s'more in lieu of a more traditional unity candle. It was a cute moment for the bride and groom to share a treat, as well as for the flower girls, who all got a bite, too! :)<br />

Luckily the rain held off for the rest of the evening which gave the perfect opportunity for some outdoor photos with the bridal party. The foggy mountain views were a beautiful backdrop for the day.<br />

While the couple took photos, guests were invited to mingle on the porch for appetizers. The appetizers were my favorite part! Among other delectable mini finger foods, there was a tiny mason jar of cheese grits topped with shrimp and pico de gallo. Georgia loved them, and we devoured three servings between us! :) Sadly I didn't get a photo of the actual food, what with running around orchestrating so many things at that time. But the caterers (<a href="https://reidscafeandcatering.com/catering/">Reid's Catering</a> from Banner Elk, NC) were top notch and used some of our extra decor items to display the delicious appetizers! During the cocktail hour we all enjoyed catching up with relatives and friends. Georgia especially enjoyed playing in the gravel with her cousins. :)<br />

After cocktail hour, dinner was served inside the barn. The tables were set with burgundy linens and ivory napkins topped with a single fall leaf. The centerpieces were arranged on a trio of white doilies, including some that belonged to the bride's grandmother. A round wood slice elevated a single metal lantern and was surrounded by a collection of votives. And in the center of the table, a white pumpkin held an arrangement of white and yellow roses, golden sunflowers, red, orange and yellow mums, red hypericum berries, wheat stalks and greenery. My mother came and helped me arrange all the flowers in the pumpkins two days before the wedding. We had such fun designing these centerpieces and shopping for flowers.<br />

After a Southern-style dinner of pork tenderloin, roast chicken, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, salad and cornbread, guests were treated to pound cake and mini cheesecakes in three flavors. The bride and her mother made all of the desserts! The dessert table was adorned with crocheted tablecloths and fall garlands. We used wooden crates and cedar wood slices to elevate the miniature treats. The cake was displayed on a wine barrel and topped with a custom topper featuring a bride and groom and their dog! :)<br />

Dessert was followed with s'mores at the firepit and dancing inside the barn. Guests took turns posing with the bride and groom for family photos and line dancing on the dance floor! At the end of the evening, we all lit sparklers for the couple's grand exit. It was a fantastic ending to a beautiful wedding!<br />

I can't tell you what a fantastic time I had planning and orchestrating this event for Laura and Brian. It was the highlight of my year and something I will not soon forget. Besides the joy of having my daughter pose as a precious flower girl, I was so happy to witness Laura and Brian's love for one another. I wish them all the best in their marriage, and a lifetime of love and happiness! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy!!<br />

Merry Christmas! Is it possible that it's only 10 days til Christmas?! It is high time that I shared my Christmas decorations with you! Georgia and I have been decking the halls for a few weeks now, getting everything 'just so' before we share the big reveal with you. I hope this post puts you in the Christmas spirit and maybe gives you some ideas for your next Christmas decorating project!<br />

Here we go:<br />

The living room is trimmed with evergreen garland, red plaid bows and throws and twinkling lights over the windows. I needed a high place to display my breakable ornaments, safe away from toddler hands, so I decided to add greenery to the tops of the windows and hang the glass ornaments from that. I love the look and may continue it even after Georgia is older!</div>

For the tree this year, I knew I was going to have to rethink my traditional decor. Instead of ribbon which is too fussy for my redecorating toddler helper, I added red and green pom pom garland running vertically in the tree. Then I added yarn pom poms in ivory, red and burgundy. I made the red and burgundy ones after I bought the ivory ones from Hobby Lobby as inspiration! I love it and think it suits our lifestyle this year. Georgia loves to pull the pom poms off and throw them around. She also likes the plastic candy ornaments. Everything is hanging on the tree with string, no hooks. I was afraid of what a hook could do if she took it off the ornament! Any glass ornaments that I included are at the top, and so far nothing has been broken. :)</div>

She's also very interested in the nutcrackers. I put my Nutcracker collection on display on the high shelf in her room and we have to play the music box Nutcracker every day. :) She loves it.</div>

I am just dropping in today to share our Halloween party pics with you! I am a terrible blogger, but hopefully a good mother, as I just don't have much time for blogging these days with a toddler running around getting into trouble!! :) But, I couldn't let a Halloween season get by without at least sharing our party details.<br />
<br />
This year I coerced my mother into letting us have the party at our house. I figured it would be easier to decorate since I live here! Well, Georgia didn't leave me much time, but I managed to deck the house in it's spookiest get-up, as usual. I had to leave a lot of empty surfaces since she is getting tall and can clear a table rather quickly! :) We had a lot of friends and family join us for the soiree. To save time I had everyone bring a dish to share, so we had a wide array of yummy treats. <span style="text-align: center;">Everyone had a fun time carving pumpkins and decorating their cupcakes with eyeballs and sprinkles! </span><span style="text-align: center;"> The cupcake decorating station was the highlight of the party. I was very impressed with how particular the kids were in placing all the sprinkles on their cupcake creations. :) </span><br />
<br />
Here's a photo reel from the day:<br />

Lately I've been working on redecorating the den into a fresh, new space. Since Georgia was born, Michael and I have been hanging out down here to watch TV more and more (so we can turn the volume up loud while she's sleeping!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You may remember what our den looked like with the blue quatrefoil couch, cream chairs and Queen Anne coffee table. We had the TV on the turquoise dresser (left), so it was difficult to watch from the couch or the chairs without turning your whole body. Here's the BEFORE picture:</div>

And after we converted our guest room into a nursery, we needed a new space for our guests. Sometimes our guests would crash down here with an air mattress in front of the couch. Not the best digs. So, we decided what we needed was a sleeper sofa. TV room by day, guest room by night! Luckily, my grandparents had an old set of couches that they were willing to give us. The big one was a sleeper sofa, what luck! My mom reupholstered it for us. Thanks, Mama! There is also a matching loveseat that is in the midst of being reupholstered. :) But I couldn't wait to share the redo, so here is phase one of the den redecoration, the AFTER picture:</div>

The couch is covered in this beautiful <a href="https://www.fabric.com/buy/0421917/magnolia-home-fashions-upholstery-telluride-herringbone-stone">herringbone fabric</a> from Magnolia Home collection. It's called stone, and it's a warm light gray color. Here are some in the process pictures from my mom's uphosltery workshop (aka her sewing room, aka where the magic happens).</div>

In addition to the new couch, we got a new rug! The floors are slippery and Riley was having a hard time running around, plus we are always playing on the floor with Georgia, so a new rug was in order. I selected the <a href="https://www.lowes.com/pd/allen-roth-Isburg-Denim-Rectangular-Indoor-Woven-Area-Rug-Common-8-x-10-Actual-8-ft-W-x-10-ft-L/1000118181">Isburg Denim rug</a> from Lowes. Its blue, gray, cream and brown floral pattern coordinates nicely with the gray couch and accessories. I'm still on the hunt for some blue or brown pillows!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Besides the couch, the television is the most important part of the room, haha! After much deliberation, we mounted the TV on the wall next to the fireplace. The wall mount allows us to angle the screen towards our couches so everyone has the best possible view. We still need a cabinet or shelf to go under it to hide all the cords, and to keep little hands out of trouble! Since the TV is across from the windows, Michael insisted we install blackout shades on the windows so we can watch TV during the day without a glare on the screen. They are awesome for that "home theater" experience. :)</div>

While we are waiting for the matching loveseat, I pushed the two cream chairs onto the wall that used to house the<a href="https://itsahorvathslife.blogspot.com/2012/01/totally-turquoise-dresser-makeover.html"> turquoise dresser.</a> Turquoise Dresser Lovers don't lament! The dresser has gone to live in Georgia's room where hopefully it will gain even more fame and glory! I'll post that update a bit later on. :) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And to complete the room, I stole the brown leather ottoman from the living room. We don't often watch TV upstairs (unless you count annoying baby nursery rhymes!) so I don't think we'll miss it too much. I have plans to get a new ottoman or coffee table for that room eventually. I also stole the framed barn print from our bedroom. It matches the new rug so nicely. </div>

After the loveseat is finished, we are going to put a side table in that corner where the plant is, along with my gray lamp from the office. So many wonderful accessories that I have collected from all the different rooms! :) I also intend to repaint this room, either the khaki color that's in the hallway/foyer/living room or a slate blue color like our bedroom. This current blue is too light and doesn't have enough gray in it. Hopefully I can get to that after Halloween is over. So many projects, so little time!! :)</div>

The plaid pillows and throw are from Joann's and the burgundy pillows are from World Market. To herald in the fall season, I decorated the mantel and the coffee table with child friendly velvet pumpkins from Joann's. Georgia loves to play with these. :) And I love that I can finally have a "centerpiece" on the coffee table. No dogs allowed on my furniture in the den!! ;) Sorry Riley.</div>

The yellow pom poms are from Hobby Lobby and the eyelet lanterns are from my sister's wedding decorations nine years ago!! I bought 6" paper doilies on Amazon and sewed them into a garland for the living room, dining room and kitchen. It was my favorite part of the decor!</div>

For the flowers, my mom picked up three of these antique blue Ball jars for me at a local antique store. They were the highlight of the decor. The sunflowers I bought and the rest of the flowers are from the yard. Purple liriope, yellow goldenrod and grass seedheads make a lovely wildflower combination. I displayed a photo of the bride and groom in this frame, also from Hobby Lobby. :)</div>

Hello friends! Hope you are having a lovely summer! It's been hot, hot, hot around here so Georgia and I spend most of our time indoors, avoiding the sun. That bright summer sunshine was making Georgia's room super warm and super bright (not good for naptime) so I finally decided to get some new drapes for her room. These are from Target's Pillowfort Collection. They are <a href="https://www.target.com/p/clipped-dot-curtain-panel-pillowfort-153/-/A-52256093">pink clipped dot</a> with a blackout lining. We keep them closed most of the time, but they look so pretty open! :)</div>

To further beat the heat in here, we added a white ceiling fan. My father came and installed it for me. Thanks Papa! It's so nice to have a breeze, and it's definitely much cooler in here now.<br />

In addition to new curtains, I've added a bookshelf where there used to be a little table and switched up the accessories. Georgia loves to play with the books on that bottom shelf. :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also added a <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PC5S0PA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1">carbon monoxide/smoke alarm</a>. This one has a voice warning rather than just beeping so you will know if the alarm is for carbon monoxide, fire, or just low batteries. There is nothing more annoying that being awakened at 2am by some beeping equipment and not being able to figure out which alarm is beeping and why!</div>

Thanks for stopping by. I'll try to get back here sooner next time for more house updates. We're working on some projects in the den and I also have a couple of cute kid things to share, too! Eventually...<br />

Until then, enjoy your summer!<br />

I can't believe how fast this past year has gone. Some nights seemed like they would never end, but here she is 12 months later, sleeping through the night, napping in her crib, eating real food, crawling, pulling up and saying "Dada" like a big girl. <br />

Of course we have many wonderful milestones and memories ahead of us, but this past weekend we celebrated her first birthday with a big party with all our friends and family. The theme was a continuation of my <a href="https://itsahorvathslife.blogspot.com/2016/04/a-hot-air-balloon-baby-shower.html">baby shower</a> and her <a href="https://itsahorvathslife.blogspot.com/2016/05/baby-girl-nursery-reveal.html">pretty pink nursery</a>: hot air balloons with a rainbow of pastel hues. <br />

I decorated with rainbow crepe paper streams, white "cloud" balloon clusters and baskets with balloons tied with nets and filled with flowers. Paper hot air balloons and clouds (from the nursery) adorned the walls and ceiling. The dessert table was complete with a vintage suitcase for decoration, cupcakes and a little rainbow sprinkled smash cake for the birthday girl.</div>

For the balloon topper I printed the graphic three times, cut around it and sewed down the center. Then I fanned out the layers to create a dimensional effect. I added the little cutout clouds last and glued the topper to a stick to place it on the cake. </div>

On the dinner buffet we had pulled pork, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, tortellini salad, coleslaw, fruit and chips. The chips I displayed in a wicker picnic basket suitcase for a fun touch!</div>

I made a hot air balloon prop for photos with a big basket and some dowels. The giant pink balloon I found on Amazon, and I just tied the dowels to the basket and taped the balloon to the sticks. Then I decorated it with bunting and ribbon bows! I drew the banner above and printed little blue birds to stick on the wall. I think it turned out so cute!! :)</div>

At the party, we asked guests to write a note for Georgia to open on her 18th birthday. We are going to box up her "time capsule" with photos and mementos from the party for her to open in 17 years. Hopefully she'll enjoy a look back at her first birthday and appreciate the advice and wishes from family and friends.</div>

Come back soon for more updates from the garden and the house. Now that I'm through party prepping, maybe I'll get back to posting on the blog. I have a few projects that I need to share! :)</div>

We have a certain little girl who will be turning one next month so we have to get everything shaped up for her very special first birthday party!! <br />
<br />
We planted over our garden plot last fall and this year it is quite a lush crop of grass for running and playing. Riley and the cousins enjoy it a lot. I'm sure when Georgia starts walking (and running) she'll be into it, too! The flower beds down here are in full bloom, with irises, roses, and lilies popping up every week.<br />

The backyard we reseeded (again) this spring in anticipation of Georgia's party. My mom and I added fresh mulch to the beds and I planted some pretty impatiens and phlox along the fence. It's looking nice back here now.<br />

I've also added a few annuals on the deck. I potted my favorite nonstop begonia, which I put on the lower deck where hopefully it will not get too much water (hopefully I remember to give it <i>enough</i> water!) Every year I spend money on these plants and then leave them out in the heavy spring rains and they just die. I think the excessive water is why they die. This year I am trying a new plan. We'll see if they survive my treatment. :) Anyway, aren't they gorgeous? How can I resist a fluffy pink bloom as big as my hand?<br />

I also got three hanging baskets for the deck, two with new guinea impatiens and sweet potato vine and the middle one is a fuchsia in a beautiful new metal basket. The basket is called a "parasol basket" and I found a similar one available online <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Queen-Elizabeth-Parasol-Hanging-Basket/dp/B0026R7BIO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494375056&sr=8-1&keywords=parasol+hanging+basket">here</a>. Mama and I found them at a local greenhouse and I just loved the unique style. The hummingbirds are loving those lush pink and purple blooms!<br />

She and Riley are best buddies. Or Riley tolerates her endless "petting" and face-grabbing. One day soon I'm sure Riley will start enjoying Georgia's attention, once she learns how to throw the ball for her. :)<br />

We spend our days playing, going for walks in the neighborhood, (Georgia loves this, she listens for dogs barking nearby and responds with "boof, boof") swinging outside in the swing and hammock and working on her new skills including pulling up and standing. She also loves to visit her Mimi and Papa and her Aunt Hannah and her cousins. <br />

Happy New Year! Happy Spring! :) Long time no see... I realize the last time I posted was at Christmas! Gadzooks!!<br />
<br />
Well, I'm back with a fun party post today and hopefully I will be around more often with some house and garden and life updates on our little family! :)<br />
<br />
My sister Hannah is expecting a baby at the end of June, and this time she's having a girl! So my mom and I had to throw her a fun, pink, girly baby shower to celebrate! <br />

As it turns out, it's tough to balance motherhood and bloggerhood (not to mention housework, hobbies and a social life!). I'm sure you parents out there are laughing right now! Our little Georgia girl is 6 months old! I spend most of my days taking care of her and playing with her. She's a happy girl, always smiling and entertaining us with her cute mannerisms and budding personality! She just learned to roll over and is working on sitting up. Next up will be crawling and then I'll really be in trouble!! Despite all these (sometimes overwhelming) responsibilities that come with being a mom, I could not let the holiday season pass by without a Christmas post! As you know, I love Christmas and I love decorating my house for the holidays! So, I took a little time this year to spruce the place up. Here's a look at our decor:<br />

This year I added a spiral of plaid ribbon to the tree. The ribbon is from Michael's and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it for my tree! :) It's pleated so it twists nicely as you twine it among the branches. It's perfect!</div>

We celebrated the holiday last weekend at my parents' house with our 20th Annual Halloween party. We started having these parties when I was 12. I dressed as a leper for the first annual party... Classy, I know! And we are still going strong with our celebrations! This year was no exception, the house was decorated from top to bottom, as always! And there was so much food and drink. Everyone had a great time eating, socializing, playing pool and cornhole and doing the scavenger hunts! Here's a photo recap of the event:<br />

A. Robot. Vacuum. Cleaner. So awesome! I just love telling Roomba where to go and what room to clean next and listening to his little beep beep boop when he's off on his "missions." We bought it used (like new) from Amazon warehouse deals for a great price. My only complaint is that he cannot go up and down stairs. :) and he sometimes gets stuck on the glider in Georgia's room or wedges himself under Michael dresser. But aside from rescuing him occasionally and charging him and emptying his dust bin daily, he is mostly maintenance-free. He even knows not to fall down the stairs! I hear they sell a remote control so I can turn him on and off while I'm sitting on the couch and steer him around obstacles (like a baby on the floor!?) so I'm hoping to get that little gadget for Christmas! :) Hooray technology... what will they think of next?<br />
<br />
My other birthday presents this year included a new Delta faucet for the kitchen sink and a handmade potting bench for the patio. I am one lucky girl. (I also got a few other beautiful items for my wardrobe, thanks friends, but I won't detail those as they are not house-related!) <br />
<br />
The faucet is the Delta Lakeview faucet with pull-down sprayer. I love it so far. The sprayer is awesome, and the faucet is very stylish and matches our sink nicely. Our old faucet was so short, this one is much easier to use! We feel real fancy now. :)<br />

I have been wanting a new potting bench for a while. Since I gave my <a href="https://itsahorvathslife.blogspot.com/2011/09/shutter-turned-potting-bench.html">shutter potting bench</a> to my mother, we never had anywhere to work on plants or to put things while we are grilling, so this table will do double duty as potting station and grilling station! We put it right by the back door on the patio. I haven't used it for planting yet, but I'm sure I will come Spring. The design is something I saw on Pinterest. I sent my dad a picture and he built it for my birthday present. My mom stained it for me. We're planning to stain the deck the same shade next year. Thanks Papa and Mama for my handsome new bench! I can't wait til Spring rolls around so I can accessorize it more with cute garden-y things!<br />

We also have an update in the garden. Fall has come and we've decided to do away with our big garden plot in favor of planting our vegetables along with our flowers in the existing full sun beds. The tilling/weeding/planting and harvesting was just too much work and it all seemed to fall to my mother (tireless though she may be). So we decided to plant the garden area with grass and just enjoy the space as a yard. We will have a bigger place to play frisbee and for Riley to run without getting muddy! I am still considering the idea of raised beds for some vegetable plants. We might decide to add those later on when we have more free time and Georgia is a little older. She can help pull weeds! :) Or she can play on her swingset nearby while I pull weeds. Haha! And we're still chipping away at the planting of the creekbank. I haven't been much help, what with constantly tending to a new baby, but perhaps next year we will start to make a bigger dent on that project.<br />
<br />
Since I've turned 32, Georgia has turned 4 months old. She's really growing fast! She is drooling all the time and puts everything in her mouth. She loves her toys and tries to grab them from the hanging mobile and chew on them. She "talks" all the time and squeals and smiles at everyone. She just laughed for the first time today! She's getting more mobile, pushing herself along with her feet, flopping around and trying to turn over. She loves toys with blinking lights and she is captivated by the television! She's a joy and a delight, and a huge distraction to all my former hobbies! That's why you've seen so little of me lately. :) It's a small price to pay for the reward of watching this cutie transform from a tiny newborn into a chubby, adorable, interactive baby!<br />

And last but certainly not least, it's October, which means Halloween! Of course I have been hard at work decorating my parents' house for the big costume party next weekend. And I will be back with a spooktacular party post with all the details. Georgia and I have been visiting once a week to work on decorations and party projects. We have fun and Mimi and Papa get to spend time with our little girl. Plus, I get to do what I love while someone else babysits! This year is our 20th annual party so I'm trying to make things extra special. Here are a few sneak peeks...<br />

It seems as though I have fallen off the face of the blog. Well I have been super busy playing with my cute baby this summer and haven't had much time for house projects and blogging. But I did find some time during naptime to decorate the house for fall. :) Time to break out the velvet pumpkins!! :)<br />
<br />
In the living room I added my dark purple velvet pillows (from World Market) with my brown floral ones. A plaid throw on the back adds to the cozy factor. I took down my spring bird wreath in favor of the pinecone wreath (from Target). <br />

On the dining table I set up a burlap runner with touches of gold and silver. All the mercury glass came to play with a couple of new white velvet pumpkins (also from Joann) and brown leaf chargers.</div>

Hope everyone had a fun and safe celebration last night. Though we didn't get to go to our usual fireworks show this year, we did see a few fireworks in the neighborhood from our deck last night. :) And of course we were more than entertained by this little firecracker...<br />

I couldn't let the day pass by without acknowledging my 7th year of blogging! Granted, I haven't been the best blogger, lately, but surely things will settle down around here soon and I'll get back to some more fun house projects. Right now most of my projects involve rearranging the nursery furniture and accessories while little one sleeps. :) </div>

In the past seven years I have written 339 posts about the house, the garden, and our life here at the Horvath house. Thanks for coming along on the journey with me! Come back soon for more updates about our little Georgia and hopefully an update on my weed-filled (and veggie-filled) garden.</div>

The hydrangeas are blooming this year after a three year hiatus. They were worth the wait! I love the kaleidoscope of color... I've got one of each it seems! :) My impatiens are doing well, too, since we've had a lot of rain.<br />
<br />
The flower baskets on the fence are putting on a show, too. The rain has been good for them, too. These are filled with my traditional combination of pink new guinea impatiens, coleus, and sweet potato vine. Love it!<br />

Before Georgia arrived, we planted a little garden, just some tomatoes, peppers, beans, pumpkins, and a zucchini. The rest of the space I planted with zinnias, marigolds and sunflowers. Since then, I've been too busy to notice, and the weeds (remnants from the buckwheat cover crop mostly) have taken over. But the veggies are still in there... somewhere! Don't worry, my mother has this project on her radar, since clearly I am not going to get to it! haha!<br />

Around the garden in the flower borders everything is blooming away. The bee balm has grown so much this year it's really filling in nicely!<br />
