Snow, Catalog Requests and Baboos...

We were supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow last night. Or so I heard. Of course, it didn't happen. But we did wake up to a gorgeous light sifting of snow that has continued pretty steadily all day. The last time I peeked out the window before it got dark, the snow wasn't quite deep enough to completely cover the grass in the field behind our apartment, but if it keeps up all night we'll likely have a beautiful, crisp, new white blanket in the morning. I opened up the blinds and all day enjoyed the sight of the falling snowflakes as a backdrop to my artificially frosted windows. So pretty.

I rearranged my living room AGAIN last week. Moved the black bookshelf that was in my room and arranged it in a corner next to the matching shelf in the living room. I'm still trying to decide if I like it. With the piano next to the shelves and the small couch angled in front of the shelves and the window, it creates a cozy little corner. But it also kind of throws the entire room off balance since moving the shelves left a big blank section of wall space on the opposite side of the room. I'm contemplating moving the shelves back to take up that space. I still haven't decided yet.



My walls throughout the entire apartment have been striking me as rather bare lately and it's been bugging me. The few frames that I have (and the even fewer that are actually filled) are still sitting in corners here and there waiting to be hung. I'm really not good at wall arrangements. It DEFINITELY need SOMETHING though.

So today I requested several home decor catalogs in the hopes that they will provide me with a little inspiration. Of course I won't actually have money to buy anything that I like, but maybe it will give me some ideas for reinventing what I have or any cheaper items that I may come across. Here are a few of the companies that I requested catalogs from.

Pottery Barn
Home Decorators
Ballard Designs
West Elm
and
Chia'sso

PB was the only one I'd ever heard of but by the looks of the websites they should have some fun stuff. I'm looking forward to them already. :)

In other news, as of yesterday we have a new niece. Della May was born at 6:02 am on Sunday morning to Aaron and Jenna, Jase's brother and his wife. We haven't met her yet, we've just seen pics. And, as we expected, she's a cutie.





Tyana is due with another baby girlie in March, so we're now on the countdown for Elaina Jael.

I'm off to find a snack to spend my saved up carbs on and/or do some T-tapp...:)
