We are starting some home projects...I added some shelves in my scraproom on a empty wall that needed some life. I added some items on the shelves that are eye-candy for me! I really want to keep the shelves simple & pretty. The large frame fell off the first time I sat it up there and the glass shattered, argh! This room is always changing in some way. I do want to paint it this spring-not sure what color just yet.
YAY, LaVaughn really started in on the kitchen(Sunday he took down all the old backsplash). He painted one cabinet door as a test and added the new handle. I LOVE a white kitchen-so we are doing all the cabinets white. New chrome & crystal hardware. We will add some glam with crystal lighting. Travertine mini subway backsplash. And a new hood! Plus, we will add glass to a few of the top cabinet doors. I added my Houzz ideabook on my right sidebar if you want to see what inspires me!

I've been meaning to say that Kiela has such an awesome fashion style. I love what she puts together. Or is that Mom :) ? It was so funny reading todays post, I made a list last night before bed. On the list was go to Michaels for V Day decor. I too just don't feel like leaving the house. Were expecting a big storm here in Massachuesetts.
OMGosh, Denise...that girl is trouble. She is a true girls girl. I have to shop alone...thank goodness she loves what I pick. She drives my crazy when she beats me to her closet and picks out her outfit first-she's messy!
We were spared from that storm-we've been lucky this year with not a lot of snow.
Happy New Year Keisha (and family:)!! I love your pics and your LO's. I say that everytime, but I love your work. Oh and I was in Archiver's looking at a MM frame and flipped it over and who's pic did I see but Keila's. I screamed WOW so loud my mom and friend thought something had happen..lol. When I told them, thought I knew you and Keila personally, too funny. Anyway, that was too cool seeing her on the back 'cover' -Congrats!!
LOL, that's funny. I know the feeling-I am the same way when I am flipping through a scrap mag!!
Ashley said:
Beautiful photos. Why was jewelry banned, though? That's so sad!
Heaven said:
Admitted stalker here lol Fantastic pictures and thanks for the Studio Calico inspiration. I got my kit a few days ago and had no creative flow, until I saw your layouts! I too am wondering about the jewelry ban. Never heard of such a thing before. Miss K is so grown up, hard to believe she's only 8!! lol :)
Heaven & Ashley, I felted so bad when I noticed the Kiela wasn't grabbing that perfect necklace for her school outfit any longer in the morning. I asked her why and she said that the girls were playing with their jewelry too much in class-so the teacher banned the jewels! I could tell she was heartbroken-she has some cute stuff. And she was really picky about what went with what!

Hi Keisha, I've been a long time stalker for a while, and may have only commented once or twice. But I just want to say that you've become like an old friend and I always look forward to something delightful on your blog. Love your Christmas decorations... I've still got my tree up. I haven't the heart to take it down yet. Oh, and so we're even, here's my blog http://kympiez.blogspot.com xx
Kym!! We didn't take down the tree & stuff until last weekend. Now the house seems so bare & drab! I do love blog stalkers and I must stop by your spot real soon. Thanks for the invite!!
*swoon* gorgeous :)

Oh wow!! Stunning seems like such an understatement!! I just love your studio. That light fixture is just AWESOME! lol
Im sorry to hear that Miss K can't wear the jewelry in school anymore. I guess it makes sense as to why, but still must be disappointing to the young ladies. Well, perhaps next year they'll allow it again. Can't wait to see how your kitchen turns out.
:)

Can I just say that the Bible says I'm not supposed to covet but I find myself covetting in a way I've never done before. Oh to have a scrapbooking/card making area that looks like that and has all those wonderful tools (sigh). I have a lot of stuff...now I'm wondering if there's some way to make it look that good. Thanks so much for sharing your personal space with us! I love your blogs and pics and scrap pages!

First..."Wanna be photographer?" No. Just "Photographer" flat-out! I love being an abiteast fan and look forward to seeing every one of your posts. (Would love to know what kind and brand of vitamins you take!)

Um, amazing! I love how you have a bunch of goodies in there, but it is so clean and tranquil still. I strive for that in my space. Can't wait to see more of the kitchen progress. I want a new countertop and backsplash so badly!
