Right now my life is revolving around boxes. We are getting the house partially packed in anticipation of putting it on the market. So not a lot of fabulous finds unless you count great prices on moving essentials:-)!

I am loving the shellac mani pedi I got this week. A standard manicure last under 12 hours for me. I have very oily nails and no matter what they do it will chip by nighttime on the first day. This gel polish is awesome (if a bit hard on the nails). It never chips and is dry as soon as it finishes curing (about 60 seconds under the light box). I even washed about 100 jars the first night and its still perfect. I went with a basic ballerina pink on the fingers but branched out on my toes to teal. It is lots of fun. It is pretty close to the second finger below…

Speaking of nails, my favorite nail polish from college (which I still use regularly) has been deemed a classic. In the most recent Martha Stewart Living Chanel’s ‘Vamp’ nail polish was named in the list of iconic colors. Love knowing that I am still hip.

I also found this great sweater that I have to stop myself from wearing everyday at Title Nine.

Finally, while at Title Nine (the actual reason I was in the store) I  found what I think is the best sports bra ever! This is the Solid Tech Athena Bra and is worth every penny.

Happy Friday!

Our main level bathroom has needed some updating for awhile. The size of the vanity in the bathroom was an odd size, so figuring out what to replace it with was a puzzle.  My husband is too fast for me, he removed the old one before I took a picture, but here is what it looks like without anything in the space. Trust me, it needed replacing!

Here is the new vanity, it is a little bigger and taller than the old one, but we like it.

It is so nice to have a handy, hardworking husband!

I am taking over a bedroom and turning it into my office. I am keeping a bed in the room in case we need it for grand-kids  so I made some pillows for the bed to try and make it look more like a daybed. It is fun to have a room of my own!

My inspiration was these curtains.

Here is how they turned out, I love the colors and how they look with the painting above that my mother painted.

I think this one is my favorite.

Since I am not a great seamstress, I am always grateful when a sewing project turns out (and when it is FINISHED!)

It is snowing outside, but I am trying to get ready for Spring!

Here is my dining room centerpiece.

I have painted and recovered this chair to give it a more “Spring” feel. I am sewing some new pillows to go with the chair and hope to have them finished soon.

I am so happy Spring is on it’s way!
