{House Tour: Our Room}

Here is the last {House Tour} post, as I'm sure you don't want to see our unfinished (yet tidy, ahem!) basement, and our backyard will have to wait until there are lanterns about with our first backyard bbq in the late Spring.

Our room is much smaller than our last, which is okay, it's quite cozy. There are two large windows, making it great mid-day, for lighting up the whole room. In this first picture you can tell we don't have much up on the walls yet, we're still working on that. To the left is the $10 antique dresser I got at an estate sale last year, holding our wall art for us.

We put Stefan's dresser behind the bed and although it's a bit tight with two dressers, it's not that bad. The older one will be painted a sky blue come summer, brighting up the room a bit more.

Here is a bit of a different view of the room, standing beside the lamp table. The door on the left is actually jam.packed. with Stefan's work clothes, all our shoes, and all my clothes in storage compartments. It also has two over-head shelves that we put our luggage in! And no, it's not a walk-in, just incredibly effecient. There is a bit of a nook, more than likely for a TV, that I haven't gotten around to re-arranging yet. It's holding candles, vases, and sea shells currently. The cupboards below house our linens and the cupboards above are H-U-G-E. They go back about 3.5 feet deep! We really have so much storage in this little house!

Hope you enjoyed the {House Tour}. I love looking in people's old & new houses, so I figured some of you might, too!

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...

A portrait of his sister. From Soulemama's blog : A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
