Your Thursday, My Friday

Thursday night 10:36 p.m.

Kids are asleep, dishes washed, bags packed and ready to go for tomorrow morning. Time to write my first blog entry!

I get a respite every Friday from my cubicle (day job). I have been thinking for a long, long time that I would like to create my own blog, and since today is my Friday, it is the perfect night to start...


Did I mention that we renovated our entire house? The house is 80% complete, and now we are working on the master bathroom. It's completely stripped down, so stay tuned for updates on the master bath makeover. Here are some photos of the bathroom when we bought the house:




Hubby (from now on we'll call him "Luna"--more on this later) has great ideas and vision for the master bath. If he can put it all together, it'll be fantastic. In fact, I can hear him upstairs at this very moment taking measurements with his tape measure dragging against the floor. I'm charging my trusty Fuji Fine Pix Z5 (in pink!) to take photos of the renovation in progress to upload tomorrow.

In the meantime, here are some things I'm seriously lusting over for my house.....


1- For a while, I've been wanting some way to memorialize our first home (two homes ago). Luna and I built this home together in 1998 and sold it in June of 2008. I found a listing for a "Custom Watercolor House Portrait" by Kauaiartist that would be simply beautiful.


2- An updated, modern way to display your past and present. What better way to show off your family tree?

3- I am a serious collector of cushions. Ask my Mom--I give them to her when I'm done with them. I buy them seasonally...here are some beautiful cushions from Robins Egg Pink to brighten up my living room for the spring!

If you haven't already noticed, the featured items are all found on www.etsy.com: the place to buy all things handmade. Here, you'll find a marketplace full of crafters from all walks of life (including me @ www.liko18.etsy.com) creating lots of unique treasures!

Well, since technically tomorrow is a weekday (and my son needs to get to school on time), I will be signing off from my first post. Good night!

  1. Welcome to the blogging world. Great first post I might add and I wanted to let you know that I have added your link to the team blog. Good luck on the renovations. I can't wait to see the changes you an 'Luna' create...... by the way, dying to know the story behind the name =)
