Home Accents.

P.S. I Love You.
What an amazing movie.
I love this movie. And I can watch it over and over.
And over again.

If you frequent 'P.S. I Love You.' as do I, you will have noticed numerous times that their apartment in the movie is brilliantly accented in turquoise, green, and soft yellow.
This is what I want in my home.
I love warmth. I absolutely adore a deep chocolate brown.
But I also love the boldness of a random turquoise wall.
I love the softness of subtle greens and yellows.
I want to incorporate my love for these colors into my home.
So...
I find myself looking at walls today. Walls that I can soon paint turquoise.Master Bath. Turquoise. Landing. Turquoise. Family Room. Turquoise.
Where can I stick a bright green vase, lamp, or an over sized yellow pillow.
Turquoise, green, and yellow. Three of the most noticeable colors.
Vintage. Classic. And Modern.
They have the ability to be everything and anything you could ever want.
Maybe my adventures in decorating will result in frequent failure.
But that is the brilliance of finally owning our own home.
It doesn't matter.
We do as we please.

Turquoise, green, and yellow.
That is the theme.

Hair cut.




Indiana got her very first hair cut today..
She got the treatment, that's for sure.
Hair washed, deep conditioned, and shaved and trimmed.
Nails trimmed and filed.
Teeth brushed.
Mouthwash gargled.
I think she likes it.
I definitely think she enjoys being outside in the sun more now that she has a hair cut.
I know I broke my promise.
Not to shave her...
But it was necessary.
Poor little girl. With her thick black hair.
She is much better now.
And holy shit is she skinny with long ass legs.
I never even noticed it before.
She was hidden behind all that hair!

House.


I love our house.
We're still in the process of getting settled, but its coming along.
This whole house thing is a lot of work!
I wouldn't have thought so...But what did I know.
Sheesh!
I never thought I would care about such small and monotonous things...
door knobs, faucets, weeds, flowers, etc. etc. etc.
It's crazy...
And I definitely never thought Lowe's and Home Depot would be such fun places to shop.
What a change...
I find myself pondering what vegetables to plant in my garden...
What colors to bring into my yard....
What flowers...What trees...How to battle all the damn weeds...
What shower faucets and kitchen sink faucets do I want...
Which ones meet my needs.
Craaazy!
And we love it!
We honestly could not be happier.
Sorry it took so long to update you all....
We'll keep you posted on this whole house thing.
I'm sure we'll have some funny mishaps to share with you all...
Like late night fire department calls, for example.
-Blake and Jess.


P.S.~A rather large BBQ is coming soon....Look for invites!
