Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Today I'm 31 years old! Holy Cow I'm officially "in my thirties." As I thought about it over breakfast I realized I don't really care. The world makes a big deal about youth but seriously would I want to be 23 with3 kids and a kid going into Kindergarten....no. And I wouldn't trade my life right now for anything!

So remember how I told you Iron Station had a rockin' sale. Well I got to get a few things for the house as an early birthday present. And then my parents got me some new drapes for my birthday along with John and Oh my! I'm in love! So here are my new treasures!

How cute is this sign that I got for $1! It hangs above the door going into the boys playroom. Its so perfect and the color even matches the playroom exactly. It makes me so happy!

I found that iron medallion up there for 70% off and love it! It really helps make the kitchen feel more "tuscan"

Ive wanted an entry bench as long as we have lived here but never found one I loved for a price I liked. I saw this and told John about it and he went back and got it for me! Do you see my cute black frame that my talented friend Leslie made me for Christmas that I STILL don't have pictures in! Yep, I'm taking them on Sunday! I swear!

And now for my new drapes....















wait for it.....













Voila!

I love them! They are perfect and I love how long they are that they actually hit the floor (our last drapes were capris)! The picture makes our walls look really yellow but they are actually a soft cream. (if you click on the picture you can see the pattern a little better).
I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They are so cute and stylish. When John saw the picture online he told me, "I promise I will try to get use to them." When we got them he said he liked them. Last night his words out of the blue were, "I love our drapes." He should know better than to question my decorative eye for our home. Every time he really questions something he finds he eats his words :)

Well, I'm off to get all primped for the day. Johns got a sitter coming and we have reservations at a really nice Italian place for dinner.

I'm one lucky birthday girl!
