Where to start with this piece.  My mother in law gave this to my husband and I when we got married...ages ago and it has sat in the basement...as a gem waiting to be discovered.

My husbands grandpa actually made this out of old barn wood!  I didn't want to ruin the integrity of the piece so I lightly sanded it down to keep all the imperfections and texture.  I then brushed stain on and rubbed it off IMMEDIATELY with a wet rag.  The stain picked up all the imperfections as I had hoped.

I LOVE THIS PIECE!!!

Best fresh salsa ever

Check out my new blog for the recipe

My Mom and I had been looking for a good salsa recipe forever...until we found one a couple years ago.  I have taken that one and made it my own.  The thing I have found with fresh salsa is that it always tastes different sometime I love a batch and sometimes it is not my favorite.  So just experiment.

Every time I take this salsa somewhere I am always handing out the recipe!  It is so easy too!

I would recommend chopping everything in a chopper NOT the blender.  It is better chunky!  You will also want to take the seeds out of your peppers if you don't want it to be spicy!

A good start to the nursery!

The style I have gone for with our new house is hmm....a vintage, picker, shabby chic look!!  LOL is there such a thing?  I guess we will find out!  I found this awesome website {wuslu} that sells super fun Items for much cheaper!  They have one deal a day and they are awesome!!!  I just ordered one of these!

Yesterday was quite the productive day!  Devin finished getting the pine planks down and we stained them!!!  I am in LOVE!  Our room and the 2 girls rooms are painted and waiting for molding, which hopefully comes today!  And Devin's family came and torn out EVERYTHING in our front yard....Here is a picture of what is used to be.  I have pictures of everything...I just left my camera at our house....so pictures to come!!  Here is the outside of the house before.....
