Our weekend was VERY laid-back. Quite nice, actually.
Friday we got pedicures, Saturday we had breakfast at Panera Bread (YUM) and did some shopping at Lowe's for the house.
After 2 years of living with the monstrocity that is this:
We have decided to update our lighting. And no joke, that is the exact same fixture in our dining room. We have a coordinating drop fixture in our entry and the ceiling fan in the living is in the same lovely shade of '80's gold.
So, this is what we will soon have:
this one for the dining
This basic style for the entry, but the scroll work will be like the above for the dining. I got tired of looking for the exact match on the internet;=)
And this is very similar to the fan for the living room.
We also bought new lanterns for the outside at either side of the garage, but if you've seen one lantern, you've seen them all! There wasn't a lot of variety.
But I have to admit, the thing I am most excited about are these bad boys:
I ordered a case of clear shoe boxes from The Container Store. I'm soooo excited about beautifying my shoe storage! But fear not, I do NOT have a hideous pair of CPA shoes to store like the ones pictured above;=)
The rest of the weekend was pretty relaxing. Bill golfed Saturday and Sunday after church. I got a facial on Saturday and then we had some friends over. I did not take pictures as I was red and bumpy from said facial. But it was worth it!
Well, I must begin my Spring cleaning/organizing! Have a great week!

Well, this is the first time I have read your blog and it was very enjoyable. Besides our love for Mackenzie we have so many other things in common. Looking at the fixtures you guys choose for your house literally made me Laugh Out Loud. The resemblance is so uncanny to the fixtures that we already put up in our home. It made me wish that I had your cell # so that I could send you pictures of all of ours...just so that you would believe me! When we first moved into our house we put in a fan very similar to the one you guys choose in our bedroom. I do feel the need to warn you that the remote broke on ours(while the light was in the off position) and we had to take it out! We eventually would have had to do that anyway though..our bed nearly touches the ceiling now! Anyway I am glad that you guys are doing so well. Mackenzie was talking about you today at school :) Shelly Hay Leblanc
I love your new lights! And the shoe boxes - ahhh the container store. We just love that place :-)
