House Update: Master Bedroom

We have almost lived here for a year and we've done a lot of updates and still have quite the list to do. Apparently that's home ownership. We're working on finishing the basement now (pictures to come). But, I realized that I've not updated pictures of our bedroom since we painted and rearranged. We took our head and foot boards off and flipped the bed around beneath the window. We added a bench at the foot of the bed and now the room feels a lot bigger.  



The paint is a shade of gray (surprise!) called "Cinder Block" by Valspar. The green side table is from a garage sale, spruced up with a coat of spray paint. The lamp, wooden side table, plum curtains and grey quilt are all from Target. I made the throw pillows, the chair in the corner is from my parents basement and... 
Viola! our bedroom is complete (for now)!

Happy lazy Sunday afternoon...for me and Moose at least. Alex is painting while Moose and I are watching old Gossip Girl episodes and playing on the iPad. Happy Sunday!

Photo of the day: post season baseball

There is nothing sweeter than post season Cardinals baseball. It makes everyone proud to be part of Cardinals nation. We're at game 2 of the NLCS. Let's go Red Birds!!!!

Photo of the day: breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day or so I'm told. In fact, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day we often have it for dinner too! A few months ago I decided I was going to try to make pancakes every Saturday and start a new  tradition. It lasted two Saturdays.... 

However, this morning I woke up and decided it felt like a pancake kind of day. I am not anywhere near as good of a pancake chef as my Noni was or close to as good as my Mom and aunt Linda, but I try. They're either burnt and crispy or gooey in the middle. Today's pancakes did not fall short of crispy or gooey, luckily there were some nearly perfect ones we could eat. Alex is pretty kind about my pancakes and compliments them...as he's picking the scorched parts off....anywho. With no further ado, I present: breakfast. 
(I hid the burnt pancakes at the bottom of the pile. Aren't I clever?!)
