Our new townhouse

We moved about 2 weeks after we had Ethan...so it's been a work in progress, but I LOVE it!!! Everyday I'm greatful to be gone from our other apartment........it just felt like living in a dark yellowish cave, which we endured for 2 years.

Now onto our fun new place :)
a> Painting the family room wall blue.....Breanna had so much fun and actually listened to all the "painting rules" and got to participate in 90% of the painting :)

It looks awesome and will be even better in the winter when it's gray and rainy outside ALL the time, it'll be our blue "sky" to look at :)

Yes....we have a red couch and a blue wall......so what I'm trying to do is set up an "ocean/nautical" theme. We just got a little lighthouse, a lifeguard buoy??(SP?), cute organizing baskets that are white and blue. I'm going to blow up and frame a pic of the blue ocean with the lighthouse in oahu (is red and white) and hang it too. My mother in law has some other great ideas......we're going to make pillows for the couch that match the curtains and then sew some seashell and starfish buttons on. Rob and I also are going to put sand that he collected from hawaii in some clear jars that he got from the ocean.....and then we will get some sand from washington beaches too and seashells for some decoration. I think that's about it. I'm going slow though now b/c I want it to look nice, and not over decorate or overdo it, just subtle things to tie everything together. Thanks to Rob for buying the bright red couch and making decorating difficult :) Seriously though I think it'll look good when we get it done and it's been lots of fun.

This is Breanna's room and will be shared with Ethan when he gets bigger. (Yes, she is still in her crib, but she sleeps 11 to 12 hours per night and I am NOT ready to change that :) You can't see very well the blanket and pillow case in her crib are Zebra and cheetah prints with bright pink added by my awesome mom. She also made coordinating blanket and pillowcase for Ethan that are zebra and cheetah prints with bright green added. I have some picture frames to hang up still that match the jungle theme. Anyways, it's very bright and fun and Breanna loves it.
