The Tree is Done!

I am so  so so over the moon excited, happy, and overjoyed (they all mean the same thing, eh?) that the amazing mural Duane has been working on is, in fact, complete. It's the most amazing tree I have ever seen in my entire life, and the face that it was created by one of the most amazing people I have met in my life, makes it beyond special. The Tree of Life, over at Disney use to be my favorite tree ever. That was until Joey broke my heart and told me it was a fake tree. Kinda like the day I found out Santa Clause wasn't real.

So now we have our very own special fake tree, which was a total labor of love from our very special and methodical friend. Needless to say, it's my new favorite tree. 

From this here above, to this here below, she was grown.

The details can not be missed!

There she is. We love her. And we love Duane too. Yay for another step in the kids room.

 This weekend was kinda weird, gloomy, gray one. Joey needed some new sneakers, so we went to the mall, something we rarely do. I hate going out in the rain. I hate the parking garage at the mall. I hate the crowds. However, I love to shop. I love it so much, I went with Joey to the mall to pick out some sneaker despite my eternal distain for all the things listed above. 

We didn't find any sneakers, but we did find this...

It's not that we "found" it this weekend, it's that it found us. You may remember us drooling over the Kensington couch over at Restoration Hardware. It's on our 2011 to-do list. Well, this here table is the table that just so happens to be a perfect match for the 118" couch. This here table is 71". This here table will inspire us to buy that couch that makes us happy. This here table was on sale for $800 reduces from $1,900. This makes us happy, very happy! I will stop saying "this here" now. Promise. 

We didn't expect to buy a coffee table this weekend. After all we just needed sneakers. And we just bought this....

It's a console table from Timothy Oulton, ya know the guy who designs a bunch of stuff for Restoration Hardware. The guy I am obsessed with. The guy who make furniture both Joey and I like. Love that guy. I found him at ABC Carpet and Home in NYC, on the second floor where he took out two spots to showcase his work. 

Yea, we thought about buying that Union Jack couch, many many times. We decided however to go with that exact couch, just in a nice cigar leather. More dog/kid/us proof. Boy, I love to shop for home decor. It really makes me happy. But now our shopping has put us in a pickle. We are having another Joey vs. Lana moment. 

Joey wants to add these chairs to the brown leather sofa + new balustrade salvage wood coffee table steal:

Right now we have these bad boys, which are just too oversized with the new couch....

So the question is this. These new chairs Joey wants - too manly? I am scared of our living room turning into a man cave. Right now I do not have a better suggestion to battle against these really cool airplane themed chairs, but I do think it's going to bring this room to the point of 100% masculine. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Joey won the chandelier battle, help me with this one ladies!

Thinking about kids rooms a lot lately

Hello lovelies! We hope you had a wonderful and productive weekend! If you haven't gotten around to our give away - don't forget to check it out - it's a good one!

We did a lot of thinking and brainstorming our next moves for the master bedroom and how we "really feel about our new curtains.We also thought about...the kids room. I have been pretty dead set on a Circus Theme, French style. We haven't done a mood board for this room, so we figure it was time now that we have the windows "covered", and the mural moving along. Here's what we are thinkin'....
