SO BUSY!

My weekends have gotten away from me...and that has meant no posts:(
Well here's a run down of the fun!!
Rod Works will be opening our Clearance center soon and having a warehouse sale too...what does this mean? It's where I have been every weekend this month:) Shelby too, she has been currently working in the clearance center during the day and then Carters at night, she is soooo her mother...work work work. We have also had the Coopers down for the weekend and a trip to the boat show (we are not buying just fun to look, BTW...Cobalt is my new favorite brand of boat, they are just plain SEXY:) Our friends Dave and Tammy were here on a ski weekend (from Colorado, apparently skiing in CO sucks and costs an arm and a leg) it was great to see them too! Throw in cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping and well that's it the weekend is gone...bye bye.
I have however made a few more improvements in our home and here are the pics...
I am not sure what the plan was with these cornices...they are fun fabric and very well made but the darn things block so much light so they had to go. (they were here when we moved in, fabric was coming out the bottoms but I neglected to take a pic of that before Kevin started demolition)

That's my hubby taking the hideous things down:)


Let there be light! I left it this way for a week while I decided what to do...and both my girls are now so used to every inch of our house being decorated they kept saying..."it feels like we just moved in, please put something back up" funny I now have two decorators in training:)


The finished product...
I love our high ceilings and I really wanted to show them off! I went with rods from my work...they are custom made so I get exactly the length I want. The curtains are from Ikea..I searched all the usual places but in the end they all carry the same chocolate linen curtain and at $10 a panel Ikea was the cheapest. The room itself is still a project in the works but I am very happy with the window treatments!

So You Think You Can Dance!


So you think you can dance tryouts were here in SLC two weekends ago and Kevin got the girls and I tickets!!! It was amazing...seeing Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy in person was awesome. The dancers are truly unbelievable and if you think they are fun to watch on TV try seeing them up close and personal...some will make you cry:) Shelby was glued to every move, while Payton asked how long this was going to take...that's my girls for you, always at opposite ends of the fun!
