J came home for Christmas! Though it was for only a few days, we made the best of it. Family, friends, time in nature, shopping together, a little bit of down time … M could hardly contain her excitement when she saw J walking toward us in the airport. Such a special bond these two have! M helped J cut Haize and Maya’s nails. I don’t do nearly the job that he does. Such a normal moment but so special. M got a really nice camera for Christmas. I’m excited to see what she does with it! Andy & Krisa hosted a dinner party on Christmas night for J and included the Gibbs family. So fun. J & his babies.

I love the rustic farmhouse feel, even if our house won’t be a ‘farmhouse’ per se. I also like NON-mixy-matchy. Here are a few pins I found lately with lots of natural wood, white and whitewashed wood. Love old with new, rustic with luxurious. photo credit: http://www.homedit.com/20-architectural-details-stand-ceiling/ photo...

I told J I’d really like some of our kitchen cabinets to have windows. He sent me the following pin from Pinterest this morning. OMG, yes! We are so on the same page! He likes the dark floors and the backlights in the cabinets. I told him I didn’t typically like floors super dark but this works well together. Instead of stainless countertops, we’ll go for concrete which will draw in the gray. photo credit: http://remainsimple.us/post/71445460341 Here are a few others I like, at least parts of. photo credit: http://niagaranovice.blogspot.com/2012/02/kitchen-inspiration-month-day-20.html photo credit: https://www.pinterest.com/apttherapy/ photo credit: http://www.lizmarieblog.com/2014/02/favorite-things-friday-50/ More inspiration on my Kitchen Inspiration Board on Pinterest...

J and I have been talking about our home’s exterior color palette. We are going to side it in metal like we did our garage/apartment but my choose a different color. I suggested an olive green color. We will also use stone on the fireplace (shown on exterior) as well as the face of the garage. He sent me these colors. Bravo J!...
