Puppy Love Update

My little baby doggie Sebastian is adjusting quite well to his new home and family. He's actually been a lot of fun to have around. Minus the whole biting thing... gotta figure that out. He's basically potty trained only a couple of accidents and has grown accustom to his new kennel. We also gave him a bath! Since he's so small we decided to do it in the sink... here's some photos of the event. Obviously he's totally thrilled.

He kept trying to climb out and hide in my shoulder hence the apron.

And here he is all squeaky clean! So cute! And tiny!

Just to put a perspective on how small he is...

 My friend Brandi who lives in Salt Lake City made this adorable bed for my kittens. Well... they are snobs and won't sleep on it but Sebastian loves it!

He always wakes up to the sound of the camera which is super adorable. I like the way that Lucy is looking at him from above on the counter. Spoiled animals. lol

He's so sweet and is such an awesome little guy. He went to his first vet appointment and passed with flying colors. Yay for my little puppy. My friend described him as smart but goofy... I guess that's why he and I are such good buddies.

Musical Chairs

My list of projects always seems so much longer then my list of things that I've completed. Oh well, that's part of the fun. I have found a few more for the list also! I'm sure you've seen a couple of these before but I've decided that my chairs are lacking. They need some excitement... some fervor... okay really they need a make over.

Check out my stained up dining chairs. Gross. They are a solid cherry wood and have a very traditional construction, I don't have it in me to paint them because the wood is so beautiful but definitely some new fabric on the seats. I found some awesome stuff at Hobby Lobby... thinking that may be what they need!

My basic Target barstools are also quite sad. I would love to add some color to them somehow. I recently saw where someone took Annie Sloan chalk paint and painted similar barstools and gave them an awesome vintage flare with numbers on the seats. I thought that might something I could do with these guys fairly inexpensively.

Yup. They look cheap... definitely need some loving and attention. They also blend in with the floor which has always been weird to me.

This is a little random. But I feel like spray painting this plastic stool. It's ugly and beige. Icky. Spray paint will fix it!

Speaking of spray paint! I have decided that this wingback chair (currently covered with a sheet. yup. a sheet) needs to be painted! I found some upholstery paint online and I'm definitely thinking this floral monster needs to experience that. I was thinking navy blue and painting the legs white. It would be a nice dark contrast to the light couches, and hopefully cover up some of the flowers.

Plus the sheet looks awful! Do you have any homely chairs that you have been hiding around your house with bed linens or any other textiles?

Colorado Adventures #2: Country Jam 2012

This summer has been one of the best I've had so far. I have had a lot of fun enjoying my friends and family! My most recent adventure was to what we call Country Jam. It's also known as "Colorado's Favorite Party." Basically it's a huge field of dirt, dust, scantily clad individuals, and a whole lot of fun. Though it gets hot. Hot. HOT. It was 100 degrees each day that we were out there.

We brought our Styrofoam cooler with us and filled it up with beer and water bottles. This year's line up was fantastic. If you are a country fan (which I love all types of music, I grew up on country though) you'll appreciate that I got to see Justin Moore, Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton... just to name a few! So much fun!

 I was able to spend the weekend with some of my best girlfriends from high school. I only have a few of them left so I really cherish these three ladies. The lovely lady in the photo above is Kendall, and Courtney is in the photo below. We are fedora friends!

Pretty good Facebook picture with the arm and everything right? Totally love it. In the photo below is Alisa, we were having a tan comparison contest. I believe that I lost. But I will say (and quite proudly) that I have accepted my white-hood and did not get any sunburn at all, whatsoever! Awesome!

It was a great time! I spent too much money, wore a lot of sunscreen, and just had a good time enjoying music with my friends. I hope that everyone had a great weekend! I have some puppy updates as well as some house related posts coming too you this week. Happy Monday!
